Self Employed political contributions from Colorado

Self Employed and Colorado on the same national label

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state CO produce $876,305, 4,943 contributions, and 179 donors. The occupation hub is $36,457,822, 169,112 contributions, and 7,177 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.4%, 2.9%, 2.5%). Colorado tracks the national Self Employed mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Colorado Self Employed contribution share sits near three percent on the same national label as Utah, with many more donors.

Self Employed is a two-word self-employment label as typed, Colorado filter. Nearby strings — OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, BUSINESS OWNER, and SELF-EMPLOYED — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $876,305 or $36,457,822. Do not add Utah Self Employed dollars to this Colorado cell; those are a different state filter on the same occupation string.

One hundred Seventy-nine Colorado donors produced 4,943 contributions, about 27.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.6 rows per donor nationally (169,112 contributions from 7,177 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Colorado cell are about $4,896, versus about $5,080 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

SELF EMPLOYED as the same stamp, Colorado filter

SELF EMPLOYED is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Colorado business license or a sole-proprietor registration. The national grouping is 7,177 donors, 169,112 contributions, and $36,457,822.

169,112 contributions from 7,177 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Colorado’s 4,943 contributions from 179 donors is the CO-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Colorado.

One hundred seventy-nine Colorado donors on the join

One hundred Seventy-nine Colorado donors produced 4,943 contributions totaling $876,305. Donor state CO is the address on the record, not proof of a Colorado professional license, and not a limit to Colorado candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Colorado campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CO. This join is only SELF EMPLOYED. Subtract $876,305 from $36,457,822 and $35,581,517 remains coded Self Employed in every other state combined (164,169 contributions, 6,998 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Do not stack Utah Self Employed onto this page

This page does not measure self employed output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Self Employed-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Colorado sole-proprietor registry, not a DBA extract, and not a small-business census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state CO is not recipient geography.

Owner strings that remain unmerged

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 $876,305, 4,943 contributions, and 179 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Colorado dollars, or only the Self Employed national total, drops a key.

Self Employed donations holds the $36,457,822 national occupation total. Colorado 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. OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, BUSINESS OWNER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

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. Do not add Utah Self Employed dollars to this Colorado cell; those are a different state filter on the same occupation string.
