Rancher political contributions from Nevada
FEC.gov records $440,269 from filers who wrote RANCHER and listed donor state NV. The Nevada cell covers 970 contributions from 68 donors. The national Rancher occupation bucket is $17,057,096 from 40,878 contributions and 3,387 donors. Dollar share for Nevada is about 2.6%. RANCHER is an agricultural self-description as typed, not a USDA operator census. Correlation of occupation and state is not causation.

Rancher-coded contributions from Nevada addresses
Occupation RANCHER and donor state NV produce $440,269, 970 contributions, and 68 donors. The occupation hub is $17,057,096, 40,878 contributions, and 3,387 donors. Nevada’s dollar share is about 2.6%; contribution share about 2.4% (970 of 40,878); donor share about 2.0% (68 of 3,387). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Rancher hub and not a restatement of all Nevada occupations.
FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack RANCHER with those strings into a single Nevada 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.
68 Nevada donors produced 970 contributions, about 14.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.1 rows per donor nationally (40,878 contributions from 3,387 donors). Line volume in Nevada is the distinctive feature of this cell: 2.4% of national RANCHER contributions against a 2.6% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Nevada cell is about $454, against about $417 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.
RANCHER versus FARMER and RANCH OWNER
RANCHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $17,057,096 national total is RANCHER only. 3,387 donors produced 40,878 contributions in that occupation bucket. RANCHER is an agricultural self-description as typed, not a USDA operator census. Nearby labels FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.
This page does not split those 40,878 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Nevada (NV). 40,878 national contributions make RANCHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Nevada 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.
Nevada as the state on the itemized record
68 Nevada donors produced 970 contributions totaling $440,269. Donor state NV is the address on the record, not proof of a Nevada license, and not a limit to Nevada candidates. NV is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $440,269. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from NV-coded donors.
The Nevada campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NV. This join is only RANCHER. The Rancher occupation hub without Nevada still holds about 97.4% of the $17,057,096 (remainder $16,616,827). Nevada’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NV. RANCHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.
Brand-inspection rolls are not in the join
A 2.6% dollar share in Nevada 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 68 unique donors as a brand-inspection roster. RANCHER is not interchangeable with FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN.
Quote $440,269, 970 contributions, and 68 donors for Rancher in Nevada, against $17,057,096 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—Rancher and Nevada—whenever the dollars are quoted.
Nevada Rancher dollars next to gift and donor counts
A complete claim names Rancher and Nevada (NV), then $440,269, 970 contributions, 68 donors, and 2.6% of $17,057,096, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Nevada: $16,616,827. Mean gift $454 is $440,269 divided by 970 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 Nevada dollars on this page from the national RANCHER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded RANCHER in every other state combined. That remainder ($16,616,827) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 68 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.
Ranching occupation pages and Nevada finance
Rancher donations holds the $17,057,096 national occupation total. Nevada 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. Ranching strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Open Nevada campaign finance for every occupation coded to NV; open Rancher donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
