Oklahoma FEC totals for occupation Dealer

Both filters: DEALER and state OK

The Oklahoma × Dealer join is a database match, not a narrative about a profession. $312,439 entered the extract because itemized receipts carried occupation DEALER and state OK at the same time. 459 is the matching line count. 24 is the matching donor-key count. $8,293,611 is what remains when the state filter is lifted for the same occupation string. Oklahoma’s Dealer join uses the short DEALER catch-all, not Auto Dealer; 24 Oklahoma keys are not a motor-vehicle dealer-license extract.

Dividing $312,439 by 459 yields about $681 per contribution. Dividing by 24 yields about $13,018 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 19.1 (459 ÷ 24). Nationally the occupation averages about $830 per gift and 9.2 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

How FEC stores Dealer as an occupation

What the occupation side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged DEALER, summing to $8,293,611 across 9,991 contributions and 1,081 donors, of which $312,439 is the Oklahoma cell. What it excludes: other occupation strings, unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee filings that are not individual contribution aggregates.

Per-gift and per-donor dollars in Oklahoma

About $681 per contribution is $312,439 divided by 459. About $13,018 per donor is $312,439 divided by 24. About 19.1 gifts per donor is 459 divided by 24. Three ratios, three jobs. Dropping any input turns the ratio into an unsourced claim.

Donor state OK is the address code on the itemized record. Live occupation hubs can move as amended individual reports arrive. If a live hub disagrees with $312,439 or $8,293,611, the newer FEC extract controls.

$312,439 versus $8,293,611

Never write that Dealer gave $8,293,611 in Oklahoma. $8,293,611 is the national occupation total. Never write that the occupation’s only state is Oklahoma unless 3.8% is 100%, which it is not here. $312,439 is the Oklahoma cell. The two columns are labeled stateTotal and occupationTotal in the packet for that reason.

3.8% is the only legitimate bridge between the columns. It is a quotient, not a second source. Independent expenditures still sit outside both columns.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $312,439 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $8,293,611 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. 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.

Why this page is not a Dealer directory

This page is not a directory of Dealer professionals in Oklahoma, not a membership list, and not a dealer-license roster, an auto-franchise census, or a NAICS retail rollup. 24 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $312,439.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Dealer donations, Oklahoma campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Dealer, donor state Oklahoma (OK), $312,439 itemized, 459 contributions, 24 donors, 3.8% 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 Oklahoma 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 $312,439: treat it as payroll, treat 24 as a workforce census, treat 3.8% as a share of Oklahoma 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 $681 per contribution and $13,018 per donor remain attached to 459 and 24. About 19.1 lines per donor remains 459 divided by 24.
