Entrepreneur and Michigan as a founding-title join
Occupation ENTREPRENEUR and donor state MI produce $701,599, 1,278 contributions, and 124 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 (1.8%, 1.7%, 2.6%). Michigan tracks the national Entrepreneur mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Michigan Entrepreneur donor share sits above dollar share on a one-word founding-adjacent title.
Entrepreneur is a one-word founding-adjacent title as typed, not a Self Employed recode. Nearby strings — OWNER, FOUNDER, SELF EMPLOYED, and BUSINESS OWNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $701,599 or $39,863,198. SELF EMPLOYED is a different stored string, including the Utah and Colorado Self Employed ties in this slice. FOUNDER is another hub.
One hundred Twenty-four Michigan donors produced 1,278 contributions, about 10.3 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 Michigan cell are about $5,658, versus about $8,307 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.
ENTREPRENEUR versus Owner, Founder, and Self Employed
ENTREPRENEUR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Michigan entity filing or a founding equity stake. 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. Michigan’s 1,278 contributions from 124 donors is the MI-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 Michigan.
One hundred twenty-four Michigan donors on the contribution record
One hundred Twenty-four Michigan donors produced 1,278 contributions totaling $701,599. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan professional license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.
The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only ENTREPRENEUR. Subtract $701,599 from $39,863,198 and $39,161,599 remains coded Entrepreneur in every other state combined (75,381 contributions, 4,675 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.
Donor share above dollar share on a one-word title
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 a Michigan LARA business-entity extract, not a startup census, and not a sole-proprietor 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 MI is not recipient geography.
Owner strings that remain unmerged
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 $701,599, 1,278 contributions, and 124 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the Entrepreneur national total, drops a key.
Entrepreneur donations holds the $39,863,198 national occupation total. Michigan 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. OWNER, FOUNDER, 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 is a different stored string, including the Utah and Colorado Self Employed ties in this slice. FOUNDER is another hub.
