Entrepreneur political contributions from Illinois

Entrepreneur and Illinois as a repeat-itemization occupation-state cell

Occupation ENTREPRENEUR and donor state IL produce $1,970,257, 4,710 contributions, and 167 donors. The occupation hub is $39,863,198, 76,659 contributions, and 4,799 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (4.9%, 6.1%, 3.5%). Illinois tracks the national Entrepreneur mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Illinois Entrepreneur rows per donor run ahead of the national occupation mix.

Entrepreneur is a one-word owner-status stamp. Nearby strings — FOUNDER, BUSINESS OWNER, SELF-EMPLOYED, and OWNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,970,257 or $39,863,198. SELF-EMPLOYED, if used as a longer occupation string, is a different hub from ENTREPRENEUR.

167 Illinois donors produced 4,710 contributions, about 28.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.0 rows per donor nationally (76,659 contributions from 4,799 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Illinois cell are about $11,798, versus about $8,307 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

ENTREPRENEUR as a stored status word, not a founder recode

ENTREPRENEUR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify incorporation, ownership, or a current operating role. The national grouping is 4,799 donors, 76,659 contributions, and $39,863,198.

76,659 contributions from 4,799 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Illinois’s 4,710 contributions from 167 donors is the IL-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 Illinois.

One hundred sixty-seven Illinois Entrepreneur donors

167 Illinois donors produced 4,710 contributions totaling $1,970,257. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois professional license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only ENTREPRENEUR. Subtract $1,970,257 from $39,863,198 and $37,892,941 remains coded Entrepreneur in every other state combined (71,949 contributions, 4,632 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A high-fours dollar slice with a thinner donor share

This page does not measure entrepreneur output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Entrepreneur-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an Illinois SOS corporations extract, not a startup census, and not a small-business registry.

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 IL is not recipient geography.

Owner titles that remain other 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 $1,970,257, 4,710 contributions, and 167 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the Entrepreneur national total, drops a key.

Entrepreneur donations holds the $39,863,198 national occupation total. Illinois 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. FOUNDER, BUSINESS OWNER, SELF-EMPLOYED, 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. SELF-EMPLOYED, if used as a longer occupation string, is a different hub from ENTREPRENEUR.

Does this money go to Illinois candidates?
