Founder political contributions from Washington

Founder dollars that also carry Washington

Headline number: $902,831. Contribution count: 734. Donor keys: 50. Occupation total: $62,143,456. Remainder outside Washington: $61,240,625. Share of the occupation roll: 1.5%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

Founder in Washington is not Founder in every state and is not Washington for every occupation. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. 50 donor keys and $902,831 exist only at the intersection. An occupation string does not mean the money funded federal contracts, and it does not mean the title caused the gifts.

FOUNDER is the self-typed label. Co-Founder and Founder and CEO are other keys. The packet does not verify that a company exists. Independent expenditures are omitted. USAspending awards are a different statute. Quote $902,831 as itemized individual receipts tagged FOUNDER and WA.

Reading the Founder occupation denominator

$62,143,456 is the Founder occupation book in this extract — every state harvested for this string. Washington contributes $902,831 (1.5%). The packet does not split the occupation total by party, and this page does not invent that split.

Founder pages still include other states. The Washington hub still includes other occupations. This join keeps both nouns in the sentence: Founder and Washington. Occupation is the string on the receipt, not a Bureau of Labor Statistics code and not a license class.

Donor state WA is an FEC field

FEC.gov stores donor state as a two-letter code. This extract uses WA for Washington. Military and overseas codes, if present in the broader file, are other keys. This cell is WA only. $902,831 does not include a donor who listed a different state even if the occupation string matched.

Amended reports can recode a donor’s state. If a later overlay disagrees with $902,831, the live Washington campaign finance page and the live Founder donations page control. This JSON file is a snapshot of packet facts.

What 50 Founder donors represent

50 is a donor-record count. $902,831 is a dollar sum. $18,057 is their ratio. None of those is a unique-person census of the occupation in Washington. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $902,831: independent expenditures, non-individual PAC spending as a separate total, unitemized tables below the itemization threshold, and USAspending obligations. Omitted from the occupation comparison: any occupation other than FOUNDER, except as context that sibling strings exist.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $902,831 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $62,143,456 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. FOUNDER is the self-typed label. Co-Founder and Founder and CEO are other keys. The packet does not verify that a company exists.

Why this page is not a Founder directory

This page is not a directory of Founder professionals in Washington, not a membership list, and not a startup census, an incorporation file, or a founder-equity roster. 50 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $902,831.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Founder donations, Washington 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 Founder, donor state Washington (WA), $902,831 itemized, 734 contributions, 50 donors, 1.5% of $62,143,456. FOUNDER is the self-typed label. Co-Founder and Founder and CEO are other keys. The packet does not verify that a company exists. Co-Founder, Founder and CEO, Entrepreneur, and Owner stay on other occupation pages. The Washington 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 $902,831: treat it as payroll, treat 50 as a workforce census, treat 1.5% as a share of Washington 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 $1,230 per contribution and $18,057 per donor remain attached to 734 and 50. About 14.7 lines per donor remains 734 divided by 50.

Questions

How many Founder donors are in the Washington cell?

50 donor keys sum to $902,831 on 734 contributions. That count is donor keys, not unique licensed workers. The arithmetic mean is about $18,057 per donor and $1,230 per contribution. Independent expenditures are not included. Named donors are not in these facts and are not invented here.

Is $62,143,456 the amount Founder filers gave in Washington?

No. $62,143,456 is the occupation total across harvested states. Founder’s Washington cell is $902,831. Other states hold $61,240,625. Use the occupation hub for the national figure and this tie page for the Washington slice only. Source: FEC.gov.

Why does this page exist if occupation and state hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Founder across states ($62,143,456). The state hub answers Washington across occupations. This tie answers only Founder inside Washington: $902,831, 734 gifts, 50 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $902,831?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not FOUNDER or whose donor state was not WA. Sibling titles such as Co-Founder, Founder and CEO, Entrepreneur, and Owner are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-state aggregates.
