Self-Employed political contributions from San Francisco, CA

How Self-Employed meets San Francisco

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city San Francisco, CA. The other is self-employment occupation string Self-Employed (stored as SELF-EMPLOYED). $30,425 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $1,418,166,223 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 1,361,094 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 21 donors, not a census of everyone in San Francisco who ever worked in a related trade.

LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the San Francisco, CA city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Self-Employed industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, California campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.

42 contributions from 21 donors produced $30,425. Repeat gifts add receipts; 21 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Self-Employed workers in San Francisco. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $724; per donor, about $1,449. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the San Francisco city book holds

San Francisco indexes $1,418,166,223 ($1.4 billion rounded) on 1,361,094 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $1,418,166,223. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list San Francisco can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 1,361,094.

California campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than San Francisco. Do not treat $1,418,166,223 as the CA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $1,418,166,223. State-office campaigns in California file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Self-Employed slice inside San Francisco

Inside San Francisco, receipts tagged Self-Employed total $30,425 on 42 lines from 21 donors. That is under 0.1% of $1,418,166,223. About $724 per receipt is $30,425 divided by 42. About $1,449 per harvested donor is $30,425 divided by 21. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Self-Employed is a self-typed occupation string, not a license roster and not a Census class of independent contractors. Nearby labels such as SELF, SELF EMPLOYED, and SELF-EMPLOYED can be separate keys depending on punctuation. $30,425 counts only rows that stored this exact string with city SAN FRANCISCO.

Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Self-Employed that did not match this key never enter $30,425. Repeat gifts that did match add to 42 without necessarily adding to 21. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing San Francisco.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of San Francisco neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Self-Employed money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.

It is not Self-Employed nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing.

under 0.1% is $30,425 divided by $1,418,166,223. Rounding the city total to $1.4 billion does not create a second extract. Use $1,418,166,223 in a table. Use $1.4 billion only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Self-Employed “controls” San Francisco politics.

How to cite the San Francisco × Self-Employed facts

Citation template: self-employment occupation string Self-Employed, contributor city San Francisco, CA, $30,425 on 42 itemized individual contributions from 21 donors, against a city-wide $1,418,166,223 on 1,361,094 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live San Francisco, CA hub, the Self-Employed industry page, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $30,425 to $1,418,166,223; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the San Francisco and Self-Employed hubs together

The San Francisco, CA hub is the unfiltered city index: $1,418,166,223 on 1,361,094 lines. The Self-Employed hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $30,425. California campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than San Francisco. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $30,425 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 21 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of San Francisco, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Self-Employed in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: San Francisco and Self-Employed, $30,425, 42 receipts, 21 donors.
