Founder political contributions from Ohio

Founder receipts with Ohio addresses

Occupation FOUNDER and donor state OH produce $471,308, 167 contributions, and 40 donors. The occupation hub is $62,143,456, 18,800 contributions, and 1,729 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 0.8%; contribution share about 0.9% (167 of 18,800); donor share about 2.3% (40 of 1,729). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Founder hub and not a restatement of all Ohio occupations.

CO-FOUNDER, CEO, and OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack FOUNDER with those strings into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

40 Ohio donors produced 167 contributions, about 4.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.9 rows per donor nationally (18,800 contributions from 1,729 donors). Mean gift size in Ohio is the distinctive feature of this cell: 0.9% of national FOUNDER contributions against a 0.8% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $2,822, against about $3,306 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

FOUNDER versus CO-FOUNDER and CEO

FOUNDER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $62,143,456 national total is FOUNDER only. 1,729 donors produced 18,800 contributions in that occupation bucket. FOUNDER is a company-origin title as typed, not a startup registry. Nearby labels CO-FOUNDER, CEO, and OWNER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 18,800 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). 18,800 national contributions make FOUNDER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Ohio overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Ohio donor state on founder-coded lines

40 Ohio donors produced 167 contributions totaling $471,308. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $471,308. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from OH-coded donors.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only FOUNDER. The Founder occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 99.2% of the $62,143,456 (remainder $61,672,148). Ohio’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OH. FOUNDER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Incorporation records are not in the join

A 0.8% dollar share in Ohio does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 40 unique donors as a secretary-of-state incorporation extract. FOUNDER is not interchangeable with CO-FOUNDER, CEO, and OWNER.

Quote $471,308, 167 contributions, and 40 donors for Founder in Ohio, against $62,143,456 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Founder and Ohio—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Ohio Founder dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Founder and Ohio (OH), then $471,308, 167 contributions, 40 donors, and 0.8% of $62,143,456, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Ohio: $61,672,148. Mean gift $2,822 is $471,308 divided by 167 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national FOUNDER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FOUNDER in every other state combined. That remainder ($61,672,148) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 40 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Founder occupation pages and Ohio finance

Founder donations holds the $62,143,456 national occupation total. Ohio 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Founder labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Questions

How much have Founder donors in Ohio given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation FOUNDER and state Ohio total $471,308, from 167 contributions and 40 donors. Nationwide, FOUNDER-coded receipts are $62,143,456 from 18,800 contributions and 1,729 donors. Ohio is about 0.8% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include co-founders who wrote a hyphenated title?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string FOUNDER and state is OH. 40 donors are not a secretary-of-state incorporation extract. CO-FOUNDER, CEO, and OWNER, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Founder. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Founder FEC money is from Ohio?

About 0.8% of the $62,143,456 occupation total is in this Ohio join ($471,308). Ohio also accounts for about 0.9% of contributions (167 of 18,800) and about 2.3% of donors (40 of 1,729). Remainder outside Ohio: $61,672,148. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Is this an Ohio secretary-of-state incorporation list?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Ohio. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $471,308 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Ohio campaign finance for every occupation coded to OH; open Founder donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
