Restaurant Owner political contributions from Georgia

Restaurant Owner and Georgia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation RESTAURANT OWNER and donor state GA produce $262,532, 682 contributions, and 52 donors. The occupation hub is $5,509,629, 14,176 contributions, and 1,329 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 4.8%; contribution share about 4.8% (682 of 14,176); donor share about 3.9% (52 of 1,329). Fifty-two Georgia donors are about 3.9% of 1,329 national donors; 682 contributions are about 4.8% of 14,176 national rows; dollars are about 4.8% of $5,509,629.

RESTAURATEUR, RESTAURANT, and FOOD SERVICE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this total. Do not stack RESTAURANT OWNER with RESTAURATEUR or FOOD SERVICE into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

52 Georgia donors produced 682 contributions, about 13.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.7 rows per donor nationally (14,176 contributions from 1,329 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $385, against about $389 nationwide. Georgia’s about 4.8% share of $5,509,629 tracks the national mix rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of people.

RESTAURANT OWNER as an owner-title string

RESTAURANT OWNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a liquor license, a health permit, or a unit count. The $5,509,629 national total is RESTAURANT OWNER only. 1,329 donors produced 14,176 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 14,176 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Fourteen thousand one hundred seventy-six national contributions make this a mid-volume bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state GA.

Georgia on the state side

52 Georgia donors produced 682 contributions totaling $262,532. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia restaurant permit, and not a map of which campaigns received the $262,532.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only RESTAURANT OWNER. The Restaurant Owner occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 95.2% of the $5,509,629. Georgia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to GA. RESTAURANT OWNER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count restaurants, rank chains, or claim that Restaurant Owner-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Owner is a self-description. Franchisees, partners, and closed shops can use the same string.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. RESTAURANT OWNER is not a NAICS food-services extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Trade names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Restaurant Owner filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national RESTAURANT OWNER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded RESTAURANT OWNER in every other state combined. That remainder ($5,247,097) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 52 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 682 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $262,532 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the RESTAURANT OWNER national total, drops a key. Fifty-two donors producing 682 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $262,532 headline.

Restaurant Owner donations holds the $5,509,629 national occupation total. Georgia 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. RETAIL is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
