Dealer political contributions from Colorado

Dealer and Colorado as a one-word trade join

Occupation DEALER and donor state CO produce $396,592, 354 contributions, and 34 donors. The occupation hub is $8,293,611, 9,991 contributions, and 1,081 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (4.8%, 3.5%, 3.1%). Colorado tracks the national Dealer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Colorado Dealer is a small slice of a one-word trade stamp that also covers non-auto uses.

Dealer is a one-word trade stamp, not an Auto Dealer recode. Nearby strings — AUTO DEALER, ART DEALER, CAR DEALER, and DEALERSHIP OWNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $396,592 or $8,293,611. AUTO DEALER is a different stored string. This Colorado DEALER cell is not the Ohio Auto Dealer tie.

Thirty-four Colorado donors produced 354 contributions, about 10.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 9.2 rows per donor nationally (9,991 contributions from 1,081 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Colorado cell are about $11,664, versus about $7,672 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

DEALER as a short stamp without a product

DEALER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a motor-vehicle, art, or commodities dealer license. The national grouping is 1,081 donors, 9,991 contributions, and $8,293,611.

Nine thousand Nine hundred Ninety-one contributions from 1,081 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Colorado’s 354 contributions from 34 donors is the CO-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 Colorado.

Thirty-four Colorado donors on the contribution record

Thirty-four Colorado donors produced 354 contributions totaling $396,592. Donor state CO is the address on the record, not proof of a Colorado professional license, and not a limit to Colorado candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Colorado campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CO. This join is only DEALER. Subtract $396,592 from $8,293,611 and $7,897,019 remains coded Dealer in every other state combined (9,637 contributions, 1,047 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A one-word cell that must not absorb AUTO DEALER

This page does not measure dealer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Dealer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Colorado dealer-license extract, not an auto-franchise census, and not an art-market roster.

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 CO is not recipient geography.

Trade titles that stay on their own 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 $396,592, 354 contributions, and 34 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Colorado dollars, or only the Dealer national total, drops a key.

Dealer donations holds the $8,293,611 national occupation total. Colorado 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. AUTO DEALER, ART DEALER, CAR DEALER, 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. AUTO DEALER is a different stored string. This Colorado DEALER cell is not the Ohio Auto Dealer tie.
