Restaurant Owner political contributions from Missouri

Restaurant Owner and Missouri as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation RESTAURANT OWNER and donor state MO produce $201,964, 279 contributions, and 28 donors. The occupation hub is $5,509,629, 14,176 contributions, and 1,329 donors. Missouri’s dollar share is about 3.7%; contribution share about 2.0% (279 of 14,176); donor share about 2.1% (28 of 1,329). Twenty-eight Missouri donors are about 2.1% of 1,329 national donors; 279 contributions are about 2.0% of 14,176 national rows; dollars are about 3.7% of $5,509,629.

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

28 Missouri donors produced 279 contributions, about 10.0 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 Missouri cell is about $724, against about $389 nationwide. Missouri’s about 3.7% dollar share from 28 people tracks a modest owner-title cell, not a chain-PAC extract.

RESTAURANT OWNER as an owner-title string

RESTAURANT OWNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a health permit, a unit count, or a franchise agreement. Owner is a self-description. 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 Missouri (MO). 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 MO.

Missouri on the state side

28 Missouri donors produced 279 contributions totaling $201,964. Donor state MO is the address on the record, not proof of a Missouri license, and not a limit to Missouri candidates. MO is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Missouri restaurant permit, and not a map of which campaigns received the $201,964.

The Missouri campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MO. This join is only RESTAURANT OWNER. The Restaurant Owner occupation hub without Missouri still holds about 96.3% of the $5,509,629. Missouri’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MO. RESTAURANT OWNER is only this filter.

What the Missouri Restaurant Owner 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. Franchisees, partners, and closed shops can share RESTAURANT OWNER. The string does not prove an open kitchen.

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 MO 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 Missouri 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 ($5,307,665) 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 28 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 279 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $201,964 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Missouri dollars, or only the RESTAURANT OWNER national total, drops a key. Twenty-eight donors producing 279 contributions totaling $201,964 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Restaurant Owner donations holds the $5,509,629 national occupation total. Missouri 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.
