Arizona donors listing occupation Rancher

Why Rancher and Arizona share one page

LobbyVault keeps a Rancher occupation page and a Arizona campaign-finance page. Neither page is this join. The join is $329,729 from 687 contributions and 75 donors where occupation equals RANCHER and state equals AZ. Against the occupation total of $17,057,096, that is 1.9%. Other states hold $16,727,367. Arizona’s Rancher cell sits on a rural occupation string; 75 Arizona keys totaling the state cell are not a USDA ranch-operator census for Arizona.

Do not treat 1.9% as Rancher workers’ share of all Arizona receipts. The state hub still holds every other occupation. Do not treat 75 as a headcount of everyone who held the job in Arizona. The count is donor keys whose itemized receipts grouped to this string. The packet does not publish a party split or an employer split for this pair.

What $17,057,096 on the occupation hub includes

On the occupation side, Rancher indexes $17,057,096 of itemized individual receipts across 3,387 donors. $329,729 is already inside that total; adding $329,729 to $17,057,096 would double-count the Arizona slice. Rancher occupation pages still mix Arizona with every other state.

RANCHER is the occupation string as typed. Farmer and Cattle Rancher are other keys when those words appear. Acreage and livestock type are unpublished. Keep the exact string on the citation so Rancher is not merged with a sibling title. Farmer, Cattle Rancher, Ranch Owner, and Agriculture are other keys. Use the occupation hub to see the title without a state filter, and use this tie page when the question is specifically Rancher in Arizona.

Donor keys, lines, and means for Rancher in Arizona

687 contributions totaling $329,729 is the operational definition of the Arizona side for this occupation. Repeat gifts from the same donor key raise the line count without raising 75. About 9.2 lines per donor is consistent with repeat itemization, but it is not proof of a giving program.

Mean $480 per line and $4,396 per donor should never be quoted as a typical Rancher gift in Arizona. Typical would need a median. This extract has none. 75 keys can hide a lopsided mix of large and small gifts — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.

The Arizona hub is not this cell

AZ on the record is a mailing-state code. Inside it, Rancher shows 687 contributions totaling $329,729 from 75 donors. Occupation mean about $4,396 per donor uses only those facts. That ratio is not household income and not a unique-person average.

The Arizona campaign-finance hub mixes Rancher with every other occupation string. This page does not. If a citation needs Rancher in Arizona, use this tie. If a citation needs all of Arizona across occupations, use the state hub. If a citation needs all of Rancher across states, use the occupation hub. Three different denominators.

Public records, not accusations

Public records, not accusations: $329,729 from 687 contributions and 75 donors is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or professional-bloc control. Correlation is not causation. Rancher × Arizona is a database join.

Researchers should keep RANCHER as the stored occupation string and AZ as the donor-state tag. RANCHER is the occupation string as typed. Farmer and Cattle Rancher are other keys when those words appear. Acreage and livestock type are unpublished. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Coverage limits on the Rancher × Arizona cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation RANCHER and donor state AZ. $329,729, 687 lines, 75 keys. The occupation total $17,057,096 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

AZ is a mailing-state code. That fact locates the contributor address on the record. It does not explain motives. See Rancher donations, Arizona campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Rancher, donor state Arizona (AZ), $329,729 itemized, 687 contributions, 75 donors, 1.9% of $17,057,096 from 3,387 national donors. RANCHER is the occupation string as typed. Farmer and Cattle Rancher are other keys when those words appear. Acreage and livestock type are unpublished. Farmer, Cattle Rancher, Ranch Owner, and Agriculture stay on other occupation pages. The Arizona campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Open /occupations/rancher/ (Rancher donations) for the occupation hub, /states/AZ/ (Arizona campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.

Questions

What is the Arizona Rancher contribution total?

$329,729 from 687 itemized contributions and 75 donor keys whose occupation grouped to RANCHER and whose state grouped to AZ. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $17,057,096. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Rancher occupation receipts is Arizona?

1.9%. That is $329,729 divided by $17,057,096. The complement is $16,727,367 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 1.7% (687 of 40,878).

Does occupation RANCHER mean the donors were licensed?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. RANCHER is the occupation string as typed. Farmer and Cattle Rancher are other keys when those words appear. Acreage and livestock type are unpublished. 75 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $329,729 on 687 lines.

Do these Arizona donations fund federal spending?

No. $329,729 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Rancher and donor state Arizona. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $329,729. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
