Self Employed political contributions from New Jersey

$1,115,033 at the occupation-state overlay

Cycle-free geography: donor state NJ and Self Employed (SELF EMPLOYED) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Self Employed and you are citing the New Jersey hub across every occupation. Drop New Jersey and you are citing an occupation hub that still mixes every other state. Keep both and the number is $1,115,033 from 6,339 contributions and 237 donors.

3.1% names $1,115,033 as a share of $36,457,822. It does not name a share of New Jersey statewide receipts, a share of licensed workers, or a share of itemized giving by every nearby title. Those denominators are absent. $35,342,789 is the complement inside the same occupation string, other states only.

SELF EMPLOYED is a two-word occupation label, not the exact placeholder SELF. Self-Employed with a hyphen and Owner are other keys if those characters appear. The packet does not verify a business exists. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Not a claim about federal spending.

Self Employed is a filer-entered label

FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses SELF EMPLOYED. Self-Employed, Owner, Entrepreneur, and Independent Contractor are other keys when those characters appear. LobbyVault does not recode the string into an exact SELF placeholder, a Schedule C census, or an incorporation file. Cite $1,115,033 for this title in New Jersey on 6,339 receipts from 237 donors.

The occupation hub still holds $35,342,789 outside New Jersey. Most of the $36,457,822 roll is not this state’s cell if 3.1% is a modest slice — or a large slice if the state dominates. Either way, quote the share with both dollars.

New Jersey campaign finance versus this Self Employed filter

New Jersey as used here is donor geography on itemized individual receipts. It is not a Secretary of State campaign-finance extract and not a state PAC database. Federal itemized individual contributions are the coverage. State-only filings never enter $1,115,033.

SELF EMPLOYED is a two-word occupation label, not the exact placeholder SELF. Self-Employed with a hyphen and Owner are other keys if those characters appear. The packet does not verify a business exists. Keep New Jersey in the same sentence as Self Employed when citing $1,115,033. Dropping the occupation noun turns the figure into an unpublished statewide total.

26.7 gifts per donor is arithmetic, not turnout

26.7 gifts per donor is 6,339 divided by 237. That ratio is not a measure of civic engagement and not a turnout figure. It is a line-to-key quotient inside one occupation-state cell. Quote it with both integers.

237 donor keys totaling $1,115,033 is not a ranking of Self Employed against other occupations in New Jersey. This join has one occupation and one state. Neighboring occ-state pages are other keys.

Coverage limits on the Self Employed × New Jersey cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state NJ. $1,115,033, 6,339 lines, 237 keys. The occupation total $36,457,822 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

Donor state is an address code. That fact locates the money on the disclosure form. It does not explain motives. See Self Employed donations, New Jersey campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Amended reports and live hubs

Individual reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $1,115,033 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Self Employed hub and the live New Jersey hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $1,115,033, 6,339, 237, $36,457,822.

SELF EMPLOYED is a two-word occupation label, not the exact placeholder SELF. Self-Employed with a hyphen and Owner are other keys if those characters appear. The packet does not verify a business exists. Sibling occupation-state pages for other states or other titles are other slugs. Do not reuse $1,115,033 on those pages.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Self Employed, donor state New Jersey (NJ), $1,115,033 itemized, 6,339 contributions, 237 donors, 3.1% of $36,457,822. SELF EMPLOYED is a two-word occupation label, not the exact placeholder SELF. Self-Employed with a hyphen and Owner are other keys if those characters appear. The packet does not verify a business exists. Self-Employed, Owner, Entrepreneur, and Independent Contractor stay on other occupation pages. The New Jersey campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.
