Self Employed political contributions from California

Self Employed and California as an owner-status join

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state CA together sum to $6,437,553, 32,408 contributions, and 1,130 donors. The occupation hub is $36,457,822, 169,112 contributions, and 7,177 donors. California’s share of dollars is 17.7%; of contributions, 19.2% (32,408 of 169,112); of donors, 15.7% (1,130 of 7,177).

1,130 California donors produced 32,408 contributions totaling $6,437,553. That is 17.7% of the $36,457,822 Self Employed occupation total. The leftover $30,020,269 is Self Employed-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California’s $6,437,553 is 17.7% of the $36,457,822 Self Employed occupation total. The remainder $30,020,269 is SELF EMPLOYED in every other state. Do not add OWNER or FREELANCER California cells to this figure. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted.

SELF EMPLOYED as a two-word status label

SELF EMPLOYED is a two-word status label. The one-word string SELF, if used, is a different occupation bucket and is not this join. SELF, OWNER, and FREELANCER other than SELF EMPLOYED sit in other hubs if filers typed them. Seven thousand one hundred seventy-seven donors produced 169,112 contributions totaling $36,457,822.

California’s 1,130 donors are 15.7% of that Self Employed donor count, 19.2% of contribution rows, and 17.7% of dollars. The shares cluster near one-fifth. This California slice tracks the status-label mix rather than dominating it.

One thousand one hundred thirty California Self Employed donors

1,130 California donors produced 32,408 contributions totaling $6,437,553. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only SELF EMPLOYED. SELF, OWNER, and FREELANCER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Self Employed donations without California still holds the remainder of the $36,457,822 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Eighteen percent of a status-word occupation book

This page does not measure a California self-employment tax extract or a gig-work census, and it does not claim that Self Employed-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

SELF EMPLOYED fragments against SELF, OWNER, and FREELANCER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $36,457,822 or the $6,437,553. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Status labels that remain other hubs

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Self Employed occupation total and the difference is $30,020,269 still coded Self Employed in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Self Employed donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Self Employed national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Hubs for Self Employed and California

Self Employed donations holds the $36,457,822 national occupation total and the 7,177-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Questions

How much have Self Employed donors in California contributed?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Self Employed and state California total $6,437,553, from 32,408 contributions and 1,130 donors. Nationwide, Self Employed-coded receipts are $36,457,822 from 169,112 contributions and 7,177 donors. California is 17.7% of those dollars. Source: FEC.gov.

Is Self Employed the same as the FEC junk label Self?

No. This join keeps the two-word string SELF EMPLOYED. The standalone occupation SELF, if present elsewhere, is a different bucket. California’s 1,130 donors and $6,437,553 are SELF EMPLOYED and CA only, from 32,408 contributions. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov.

What share of Self Employed FEC money is from California?

California holds 17.7% of the $36,457,822 occupation total ($6,437,553). California also accounts for 19.2% of contributions (32,408 of 169,112) and 15.7% of donors (1,130 of 7,177). SELF EMPLOYED is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for California races only?

No. Donor state is California. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $6,437,553 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 32,408 contributions and 1,130 donors are the SELF EMPLOYED-and-CA overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
