Self-Employed political contributions from Denver, CO

SELF-EMPLOYED × DENVER (hyphenated string)

$10,900 is the published overlap for stored industry SELF-EMPLOYED and stored city DENVER, CO. Readable labels on this page are Self-Employed and Denver, CO. 22 contributions and 10 donors produced the overlap on FEC.gov itemized individual contributions. Denver, CO’s unfiltered book is $238,927,176 on 599,360 lines, under 0.1% of which is this string.

LobbyVault’s city hub and industry hub remain the one-dimension views. This ties page is the two-dimension view. Do not collapse them. Canonical path is /ties/self-employed-donors-in-co-denver/. SELF EMPLOYED (no hyphen), SELF, FREELANCE, CONSULTANT, and ARCHITECT are other Denver keys. This page is the hyphenated SELF-EMPLOYED string.

Arithmetic: about $495 per receipt, about $1,090 per donor. Those are $10,900 divided by 22 and 10. They are not typical gifts, not salaries, and not medians. Repeat itemizations raise the receipt count without adding donors.

Denver’s city book across all stored labels

599,360 city-field contributions total $238,927,176. Filer-entered city DENVER is the key. The stored city sits in Denver County, Colorado. Boulder, Aurora, and Englewood are other Colorado city fields. Joint-fundraising addresses that typed Denver may be in. The packet does not publish unique donors for the whole city, so none are invented from 599,360.

Colorado campaign-finance coverage is statewide. $238,927,176 is not that statewide figure. Unitemized federal gifts and Colorado state-office filings sit outside $238,927,176. Do not add other cities to build a metro unless a packet says so. Leftover after this string is $238,916,276.

Why hyphenated Self-Employed is written, not skipped

$10,900 on 22 lines from 10 donors is the Denver, CO slice of SELF-EMPLOYED. Other spellings are other keys. A Denver donor with a different employer or occupation is not in the slice. An out-of-city donor with this employer string is not in the slice. SELF-EMPLOYED is a real stored occupation/employer label, longer than the skipped placeholder self. Twenty-two lines from ten donors produced the Denver overlap. The FEC does not verify independent-contractor status. ARCHITECT is a sibling Denver occupation join, not a subset.

The industry hub is the string without the city filter. This packet’s industry-side integers for the join are $10,900, 22, and 10. Do not infer a national total from them. Denver, CO can appear in news copy, Census tables, and USAspending maps. Those appearances do not change this FEC join.

Gig-economy recodes this join does not perform

No USAspending dollars are in this packet. $10,900 is not an award. FEC and spending datasets can share a geography without funding each other. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. Motive and party are not harvested here. Correlation is not causation. Do not read 10 donors as proof that Self-Employed controls Denver.

If live pages disagree, the newer FEC extract controls. Internal links are not optional decoration. Denver, CO (/cities/co-denver/), Self-Employed (/industries/self-employed/), Colorado campaign finance (/states/CO/), All FEC ties (/ties/) document the city dimension, the industry dimension, Colorado, and the ties index. A citation that omits the city or omits Self-Employed has left the join. Ten donors and twenty-two receipts are matching identities who typed the hyphenated label, not a Census of Denver sole proprietors.

How to record the Self-Employed × Denver, CO snapshot

Template: employer/industry grouping SELF-EMPLOYED, contributor city Denver, CO, $10,900 on 22 itemized individual contributions from 10 donors, against $238,927,176 on 599,360 contributions (under 0.1%). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. City labels are filer-entered.

City-cycle and industry-cycle joins are other files. This file stays on one city and one stored string. Keep both nouns in citations: Self-Employed and Denver, CO. $10,900 is already inside $238,927,176. Do not add them. If 10 is 1, that is still a count, not a name.

Committee-to-committee transfers and operating expenditures are other FEC files. They are not added into the individual-contribution join on this page. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side. Treat the live LobbyVault hub as newer than this snapshot.
