Rancher political contributions from Oregon

Rancher occupation meeting Oregon donor state

Occupation RANCHER and donor state OR produce $515,430, 1,233 contributions, and 118 donors. The occupation hub is $17,057,096, 40,878 contributions, and 3,387 donors. Oregon’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 3.0% (1,233 of 40,878); donor share about 3.5% (118 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 Oregon occupations.

FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack RANCHER with those strings into a single Oregon 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 3.5% (118 of 3,387), contribution share about 3.0% (1,233 of 40,878), and dollar share about 3.0%. Those three ratios need not match. 118 Oregon donors produced 1,233 contributions, about 10.4 rows per donor versus 12.1 nationally. Mean gift is about $418 here and about $417 in the RANCHER bucket. Unique-donor counts can split one person who filed variants.

RANCHER as a livestock-style occupation string

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 Oregon (OR). 40,878 national contributions make RANCHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Oregon 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.

Oregon is address, not acreage

118 Oregon donors produced 1,233 contributions totaling $515,430. Donor state OR is the address on the record, not proof of an Oregon license, and not a limit to Oregon candidates. OR is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $515,430. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from OR-coded donors.

The Oregon campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OR. This join is only RANCHER. The Rancher occupation hub without Oregon still holds about 97.0% of the $17,057,096 (remainder $16,541,666). Oregon’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OR. RANCHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Herd size and grazing permits are absent

A 3.0% dollar share in Oregon 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 118 unique donors as a USDA operator census or brand-inspection roll. RANCHER is not interchangeable with FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN.

Quote $515,430, 1,233 contributions, and 118 donors for Rancher in Oregon, 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 Oregon—whenever the dollars are quoted.

A complete Oregon Rancher citation

A complete claim names Rancher and Oregon (OR), then $515,430, 1,233 contributions, 118 donors, and 3.0% of $17,057,096, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Oregon: $16,541,666. Mean gift $418 is $515,430 divided by 1,233 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 Oregon 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 ($16,541,666) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 118 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 hub, Oregon hub, and other ties

Rancher donations holds the $17,057,096 national occupation total. Oregon 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.

Questions

How much have Rancher donors in Oregon given?

Does this count Oregon ranches?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string RANCHER and state is OR. 118 donors are not a USDA operator census or brand-inspection roll. FARMER, RANCH OWNER, and CATTLEMAN, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Rancher. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Rancher FEC money is from Oregon?

Remainder outside Oregon: $16,541,666. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Should FARMER dollars be stacked with this cell?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Oregon. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $515,430 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Oregon campaign finance for every occupation coded to OR; open Rancher donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
