Entrepreneur political contributions from Georgia

Entrepreneur and Georgia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ENTREPRENEUR and donor state GA produce $968,895, 1,638 contributions, and 136 donors. The occupation hub is $39,863,198, 76,659 contributions, and 4,799 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 2.4%; contribution share about 2.1% (1,638 of 76,659); donor share about 2.8% (136 of 4,799). One hundred thirty-six Georgia donors are about 2.8% of 4,799 national donors; 1,638 contributions are about 2.1% of 76,659 national rows; dollars are about 2.4% of $39,863,198.

FOUNDER, BUSINESS OWNER, and SELF EMPLOYED, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Entrepreneur total. Do not stack ENTREPRENEUR with FOUNDER or SELF EMPLOYED into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

136 Georgia donors produced 1,638 contributions, about 12.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.0 rows per donor nationally (76,659 contributions from 4,799 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $592, against about $520 nationwide. Georgia’s about 2.4% share of $39,863,198 from 136 people is a many-person slice of a mid-volume occupation.

ENTREPRENEUR as a self-description string

ENTREPRENEUR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a company, a NAICS code, or an owner share. The word on the form is the filter. The $39,863,198 national total is ENTREPRENEUR only. 4,799 donors produced 76,659 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 76,659 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Four thousand seven hundred ninety-nine national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state GA.

Georgia on the state side

136 Georgia donors produced 1,638 contributions totaling $968,895. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia company, and not a map of which campaigns received the $968,895.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only ENTREPRENEUR. The Entrepreneur occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 97.6% of the $39,863,198. Georgia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to GA. ENTREPRENEUR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count businesses, merge founder dollars, or claim that Entrepreneur-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ENTREPRENEUR is not SELF EMPLOYED even when filers meant a one-person shop.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ENTREPRENEUR is not a small-business registry. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Entity names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Entrepreneur filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national ENTREPRENEUR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ENTREPRENEUR in every other state combined. That remainder ($38,894,303) 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 136 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 1,638 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $968,895 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the ENTREPRENEUR national total, drops a key. One hundred thirty-six donors producing 1,638 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $968,895 headline.
