Rancher political contributions from Oklahoma
Oklahoma donors who listed their occupation as Rancher reported $467,185 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 1,329 contributions from 157 donors. Nationwide, RANCHER-coded receipts total $17,057,096 across 40,878 contributions and 3,387 donors. Oklahoma holds about 2.7% of those dollars.

Oklahoma Rancher itemized contributions
Occupation RANCHER and donor state OK produce $467,185, 1,329 contributions, and 157 donors. The occupation hub is $17,057,096, 40,878 contributions, and 3,387 donors. Oklahoma’s dollar share is about 2.7%; contribution share about 3.3% (1,329 of 40,878); donor share about 4.6% (157 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 Oklahoma occupations.
FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack RANCHER with those strings into a single Oklahoma 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.
Donor share is about 4.6% (157 of 3,387), contribution share about 3.3% (1,329 of 40,878), and dollar share about 2.7%. Those three ratios need not match. 157 Oklahoma donors produced 1,329 contributions, about 8.5 rows per donor versus 12.1 nationally. Mean gift is about $352 here and about $417 in the RANCHER bucket. Unique-donor counts can split one person who filed variants.
RANCHER without a cattle or acreage field
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 a livestock-style self-description, not a USDA operator census or brand-inspection roll. 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 Oklahoma (OK). 40,878 national contributions make RANCHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Oklahoma 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.
Oklahoma donor state versus recipient geography
157 Oklahoma donors produced 1,329 contributions totaling $467,185. Donor state OK is the address on the record, not proof of an Oklahoma license, and not a limit to Oklahoma candidates. OK is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $467,185. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from OK-coded donors.
The Oklahoma campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OK. This join is only RANCHER. The Rancher occupation hub without Oklahoma still holds about 97.3% of the $17,057,096 (remainder $16,589,911). Oklahoma’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OK. RANCHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.
Brand inspections and grazing leases are not FEC fields
A 2.7% dollar share in Oklahoma 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 157 unique donors as a USDA operator census or brand-inspection roll. RANCHER is not interchangeable with FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN.
Quote $467,185, 1,329 contributions, and 157 donors for Rancher in Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma—whenever the dollars are quoted.
Three Oklahoma Rancher numbers, one occupation filter
A complete claim names Rancher and Oklahoma (OK), then $467,185, 1,329 contributions, 157 donors, and 2.7% of $17,057,096, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Oklahoma: $16,589,911. Mean gift $352 is $467,185 divided by 1,329 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 Oklahoma 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 ($16,589,911) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 157 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.
Rancher nationwide hub and Oklahoma campaign finance
Rancher donations holds the $17,057,096 national occupation total. Oklahoma 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.
