Dealer political money from Kentucky

The occupation-and-state join for Dealer

Headline number: $285,542. Contribution count: 208. Donor keys: 26. Occupation total: $8,293,611 from 1,081 donors and 9,991 contributions. Remainder outside Kentucky: $8,008,069. Share of the occupation roll: 3.4%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not. Kentucky’s Dealer join uses the same national DEALER total as Oklahoma and North Carolina; adding the three state cells is not a closed national DEALER total.

Dealer in Kentucky is not Dealer in every state and is not Kentucky for every occupation. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. 26 donor keys and $285,542 exist only at the intersection. An occupation string does not mean the money funded federal contracts, and it does not mean the title caused the gifts.

Reading the Dealer occupation denominator

$8,293,611 is the Dealer occupation book in this extract — every donor state harvested for this string, from 9,991 contributions. Kentucky contributes $285,542 (3.4%). The packet does not split the occupation total by party, and this page does not invent that split.

What 26 Kentucky Dealer donors represent

26 is a donor-record count. $285,542 is a dollar sum. $10,982 is their ratio. None of those is a unique-person census of the occupation in Kentucky. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $285,542: independent expenditures, non-individual PAC spending as a separate total, unitemized tables below the itemization threshold, and USAspending obligations. Omitted from the occupation comparison: any occupation other than DEALER, except as context that sibling strings exist.

Dealer’s share of its own occupation roll

3.4% of $8,293,611 is a defined slice. Other states hold $8,008,069. Put another way, about 3.4% of Dealer-coded itemized dollars in this aggregate were tagged donor state KY, and the rest were not. Those percentages are $285,542 divided by $8,293,611 and $8,008,069 divided by $8,293,611. They are not shares of licensed workers, eligible voters, or USAspending.

Dollar share (3.4%), contribution share (2.1%), and donor share (2.4%) are separate facts. This page does not publish a donor-count percentage as a substitute for the dollar share. Do not treat 3.4% as Dealer donors’ share of national itemized giving.

Using Dealer and Kentucky links without mixing statutes

Then send the reader to the live Kentucky campaign finance page, the Dealer donations hub, all occupations, and all FEC ties. If you need named donors, those are other joins, not this file. This file stays aggregated. No donor names are supplied, and none are added.

Dealer next to other Kentucky occupation strings

Other occupation strings in Kentucky live on other tie pages. This file does not add their dollars to $285,542. Auto Dealer, Art Dealer, Antique Dealer, and Car Dealer are the usual nearby labels. Opening All occupations is the way to find them. Opening All FEC ties is the way to find other occupation-state cells.

Do not invent donor names to illustrate 26 keys. The aggregate is the published object. Named individuals belong on other LobbyVault pages if those pages exist; they are not supplied here.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Dealer, donor state Kentucky (KY), $285,542 itemized, 208 contributions, 26 donors, 3.4% of $8,293,611 from 1,081 national donors. DEALER is the short catch-all. Auto Dealer is a different occupation key when those two words appear. The packet does not split cars, art, antiques, or other goods. Auto Dealer, Art Dealer, Antique Dealer, and Car Dealer stay on other occupation pages. The Kentucky campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $285,542: treat it as payroll, treat 26 as a workforce census, treat 3.4% as a share of Kentucky statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $1,373 per contribution and $10,982 per donor remain attached to 208 and 26. About 8.0 lines per donor remains 208 divided by 26.

Why does this page exist if occupation and state hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Dealer across states ($8,293,611). The state hub answers Kentucky across occupations. This tie answers only Dealer inside Kentucky: $285,542, 208 gifts, 26 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $285,542?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not DEALER. Sibling titles such as Auto Dealer, Art Dealer, Antique Dealer, and Car Dealer are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-state aggregates.
