Self Employed political contributions from Cleveland, OH

Cleveland, OH donors who stored SELF EMPLOYED — two words, no hyphen — reported $10,750 on 12 FEC.gov receipts from 6 donors. Cleveland’s city-wide book is $104,708,861 across 169,946 contributions. The Self Employed slice is under 0.1% of Cleveland dollars. SELF EMPLOYED is exact occupation text, not NAICS, not the hyphenated SELF-EMPLOYED key, and not a Census of Cleveland’s self-employed.

Key figures

  • Self Employed in Cleveland, OH: $10,750 on 12 receipts from 6 donors.
  • Cleveland city-wide FEC itemized total: $104,708,861 on 169,946 contributions.
  • The Self Employed slice is under 0.1% of Cleveland dollars — a labeled subset, not the city book.
  • SELF EMPLOYED is an exact filer-entered label, not a NAICS sector roll-up.
  • Means near $896 per receipt and $1,792 per donor are arithmetic only.

SELF EMPLOYED is not a NAICS cell

SELF EMPLOYED has a space and no hyphen. SELF-EMPLOYED is a different stored string. Exact “self” as a placeholder is not this grouping. Neither label is NAICS. $10,750 is Cleveland only. The dollars that survive both that exact string and city Cleveland, OH are $10,750 on 12 FEC.gov receipts from 6 donors. That is the join headline. Cleveland without the employer filter is $104,708,861 on 169,946 lines.

NAICS sectors, BLS occupations, and Census industry tables are other statistical systems. This page does not translate SELF EMPLOYED into those codes. Quote the stored string.

Cleveland as a typed geography

Cleveland is a filer-entered Ohio city. Other Ohio cities are other keys. Ohio campaign finance is statewide; $104,708,861 is Cleveland’s city tape. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that listed Cleveland can sit in $104,708,861 beside residential streets. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 169,946.

Twelve receipts from six donors: six extra lines are repeats. Six donors is not a self-employment census. Means near $896 per receipt and $1,792 per donor are arithmetic only. $10,750 is under 0.1% of $104,708,861 ($105 million rounded).

Hubs: Cleveland, OH, Self Employed, Ohio campaign finance, All FEC ties. Four links, four questions. This page is the both-keys question.

The intersection only

A SELF EMPLOYED row in another city is out. A Cleveland row with a different employer string is out. Rows that fail either test never enter $10,750. That is why the join is smaller than either parent hub.

If Cleveland, OH or Self Employed later shows a different integer, FEC.gov and the live extract control. This file is a packet snapshot, not a third disclosure system.

Caveats that stay attached to the dollars

Unitemized gifts, Ohio state-office filings, and independent expenditures are outside $10,750. Party, committee, and cycle are unpublished here. Motive is unpublished. Neighborhood rankings are not a field.

FEC receipts are not USAspending awards. $10,750 does not fund a federal contract because both datasets can mention Cleveland. Correlation is not causation.

How to write the footnote

Self Employed × Cleveland, OH: $10,750, 12 itemized individual contributions, 6 donors; city book $104,708,861 on 169,946 contributions, under 0.1% of city dollars. Source: FEC.gov. City labels are filer-entered. Employer strings are not NAICS.

Send readers to Cleveland, OH, Self Employed, Ohio campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Do not add the join to the city book. Do not drop either noun. If you need cycle cuts of Cleveland, those are city-cycle joins. If you need Self Employed in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins.

Parents versus this pair

The Cleveland, OH hub restates $104,708,861 on 169,946 lines without requiring SELF EMPLOYED. The Self Employed hub restates the stored string without requiring Cleveland. Ohio campaign finance is Ohio, a larger geography. All FEC ties is an inventory. None of those four pages is this pair, and none turns $10,750 into a federal award.

Repeat gifts that matched both keys add to 12 without necessarily adding to 6. Spelling variants that missed SELF EMPLOYED never enter $10,750. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns. Keep the nouns attached: 12 is receipts, 6 is harvested donors, $10,750 is the join, and $104,708,861 is the Cleveland city book on 169,946 lines. Swapping those nouns is a citation error. About $896 per receipt and about $1,792 per donor remain packet quotients, not medians and not salaries. SELF EMPLOYED is still not a NAICS code. Cleveland, OH is still a filer-entered city string. FEC.gov remains the originating system for every integer on this page. Researchers who need the unfiltered Cleveland tape should open Cleveland, OH rather than inflating $10,750 into $104,708,861. Researchers who need SELF EMPLOYED in every city should open Self Employed rather than guessing a nationwide total from this slice. Ohio campaign finance answers Ohio, a larger geography than Cleveland. All FEC ties lists sibling joins. None of those four destinations converts $10,750 into a USAspending obligation. Unitemized federal gifts and Ohio state-office filings remain outside both the join and the city book as built here.

Questions

Is $10,750 the full Cleveland political-money total?
No. Cleveland indexes $104,708,861 across 169,946 itemized contributions. $10,750 is only the Self Employed employer/occupation slice inside that city. Other strings, unitemized gifts, and state-office filings sit outside the join. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
Does Self Employed money in Cleveland fund federal spending there?
No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $10,750 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Cleveland. Different statutes, different forms.

Is SELF EMPLOYED a NAICS industry?
No. SELF EMPLOYED is a filer-entered employer or occupation string on FEC itemizations, not a NAICS code. $10,750 counts only rows that stored this exact text with city Cleveland. Other spellings and related job titles are other keys. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a sector.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and employer/industry grouping. City labels are filer-entered.
