Contractor political contributions from Florida

Contractor and Florida as a trade-word occupation-state join

Occupation CONTRACTOR and donor state FL produce $2,369,725, 6,591 contributions, and 553 donors. The occupation hub is $30,356,058, 92,735 contributions, and 6,738 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (7.8%, 7.1%, 8.2%). Florida tracks the national Contractor mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Florida Contractor donor share sits slightly above the dollar share on a mid-size trade stamp.

Contractor is a one-word trade-or-status stamp. Nearby strings — GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONSTRUCTION, BUILDER, and SUBCONTRACTOR — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,369,725 or $30,356,058. CONTRACTOR can mean a licensed builder or a 1099 status in another trade; the FEC field does not split those uses.

553 Florida donors produced 6,591 contributions, about 11.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.8 rows per donor nationally (92,735 contributions from 6,738 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Florida cell are about $4,285, versus about $4,505 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

CONTRACTOR as a job or a tax-status word

CONTRACTOR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Florida contractor license number. The national grouping is 6,738 donors, 92,735 contributions, and $30,356,058.

92,735 contributions from 6,738 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Florida’s 6,591 contributions from 553 donors is the FL-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Florida.

Five hundred fifty-three Florida Contractor donors

553 Florida donors produced 6,591 contributions totaling $2,369,725. Donor state FL is the address on the record, not proof of a Florida professional license, and not a limit to Florida candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Florida campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to FL. This join is only CONTRACTOR. Subtract $2,369,725 from $30,356,058 and $27,986,333 remains coded Contractor in every other state combined (86,144 contributions, 6,185 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Nearly eight percent of a $30 million Contractor book

This page does not measure contractor output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Contractor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Florida DBPR contractor-license extract, not a public-works bid log, and not a union-local census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state FL is not recipient geography.

Construction titles that remain other hubs

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $2,369,725, 6,591 contributions, and 553 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Florida dollars, or only the Contractor national total, drops a key.

Contractor donations holds the $30,356,058 national occupation total. Florida campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONSTRUCTION, BUILDER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. CONTRACTOR can mean a licensed builder or a 1099 status in another trade; the FEC field does not split those uses.
