CPA political contributions from Ohio

The CPA–Ohio intersection

Occupation CPA and donor state OH produce $1,214,825, 3,901 contributions, and 309 donors. The occupation hub is $44,519,078, 167,600 contributions, and 10,766 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 2.7%; contribution share about 2.3% (3,901 of 167,600); donor share about 2.9% (309 of 10,766). Three hundred nine Ohio donors are 2.9% of 10,766 national CPA donors. Contributions (3,901 of 167,600) are about 2.3%; dollars about 2.7%.

ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CPA with ACCOUNTANT or AUDITOR into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

309 Ohio donors produced 3,901 contributions, about 12.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 15.6 rows per donor nationally (167,600 contributions from 10,766 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $311, against about $266 nationwide. Ohio’s share of $44,519,078 is a Midwest address slice, not a ranking of Cleveland, Columbus, or Cincinnati firms. Rows per donor (about 12.6) sit below the national CPA pace (about 15.6).

CPA receipts with an Ohio address

CPA is a filer-entered string. The file does not confirm an active Ohio CPA license. The three-letter string plus OH is the filter. The $44,519,078 national total is CPA only. 10,766 donors produced 167,600 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 167,600 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). This page locates the Ohio overlap. It does not name firms among the 309 Ohio donors.

Ohio as donor state

309 Ohio donors produced 3,901 contributions totaling $1,214,825. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Ohio license and not a limit to Ohio candidates. Three large metros share the same two-letter code.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only CPA. The CPA occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 97.3% of the $44,519,078. Ohio’s state hub includes every occupation coded to OH. CPA is only this filter.

What not to infer from CPA plus Ohio

This page does not merge Accountant dollars, count licensed CPAs, or claim that CPA-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CPA is not ACCOUNTANT. Those strings, if used, never enter the $1,214,825.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CPA is not an Accountancy Board of Ohio extract. Donor state OH is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one CPA filter

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national CPA occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CPA in every other state combined. That remainder ($43,304,253) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 309 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,901 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,214,825 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the CPA national total, drops a key. Three hundred nine donors producing 3,901 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,214,825 headline.

Related tables

Cpa donations holds the $44,519,078 national occupation total. Ohio 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. Illinois, Virginia, and Pennsylvania have separate CPA occupation-state ties; do not add those dollars here.
