Insurance Broker political contributions from Ohio

Insurance Broker is one axis; Ohio is the other

An occupation-state page is not a restatement of Insurance Broker and not a restatement of Ohio. It is the cell where they meet: $501,984, 1,558 contributions, 144 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state are the source note.

On the occupation side, Insurance Broker is the exact string INSURANCE BROKER. On the state side, OH is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received $501,984. Commercial versus personal-lines versus benefits brokerage as typed is unpublished.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $16,637,368 is the national Insurance Broker bucket. The Ohio hub is every grouping in that state. The join is $501,984. Ohio INSURANCE BROKER is a two-word title. Insurance Agent is a neighboring string with its own state joins. INSURANCE alone is a different Connecticut key.

Ohio is not the whole Insurance Broker story

Insurance Broker across all states is $16,637,368. Insurance Broker in Ohio is $501,984 — 3.0%. The gap is $16,135,384. Closing that gap would require other state joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the Ohio overlay still sees $501,984 for this string, not $16,637,368. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the state filter to recover $501,984.

What 144 unique donors are not

144 unique donors are not a census of Insurance Broker. They are the identities attached to 1,558 itemized rows that summed to $501,984. Mean gift $322; mean per donor $3,486; about 10.8 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That does not add extra occupations into $501,984; it can inflate donor counts relative to a strict employee roster that this table does not have.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from this packet: party split, employer list, recipient committees, median gift, and commercial versus personal-lines versus benefits brokerage as typed. Those omissions are why the page is a join brief rather than a full filing dump.

What remains is enough for a clean citation: Insurance Broker × Ohio = $501,984 on 1,558 receipts from 144 donors, 3.0% of $16,637,368. Source: FEC.gov. Ohio INSURANCE BROKER is a two-word title. Insurance Agent is a neighboring string with its own state joins. INSURANCE alone is a different Connecticut key.

Two filters, one URL

Two filters produced this URL: occupation INSURANCE BROKER and donor state OH. The product is $501,984. One filter is not enough. That is why Insurance Broker donations and Ohio campaign finance remain parent links rather than substitutes.

All FEC ties is the index if the next question is a different occupation-state pair. All occupations is the index if the next question is a neighboring title such as insurance agent, insurance, broker, and insurance producer.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation INSURANCE BROKER ∩ state OH = $501,984, 1,558 receipts, 144 donors, 3.0% of $16,637,368. Neighbors remain insurance agent, insurance, broker, and insurance producer. Source remains FEC.gov.

Open /occupations/insurance-broker/ (Insurance Broker donations) for the occupation hub, /states/OH/ (Ohio campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.
