Self Employed political contributions from Tulsa, OK
Contributor city TULSA and industry grouping SELF EMPLOYED together show $20,271 in itemized individual contributions: 15 receipts from 12 donors. Tulsa, OK's city-wide itemized total is $128,640,043 on 270,118 contributions. Those city-wide figures include every employer string, not only SELF EMPLOYED. FEC.gov Schedule A aggregates are the source. Labels are filer-entered.
Key figures
- $20,271 from 12 donors and 15 receipts is the Self Employed × Tulsa, OK join.
- $128,640,043 is the all-industry Tulsa, OK book; this string is under 0.1% of that book.
- SELF EMPLOYED is an exact filer-entered label, not a small-business roll-up.
- Means near $1,351 per receipt and $1,689 per donor are arithmetic only.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
Self Employed and Tulsa, OK as a two-key join
$20,271 is not the Tulsa, OK hub and not the Self Employed hub. It is the rows where both stored values match: SELF EMPLOYED on the employer/industry grouping and TULSA with state OK on the city field. LobbyVault publishes each side as its own table. This page exists because the two tables meet.
Fifteen contributions from 12 donors sum to $20,271. Twelve donors is the extract's headcount for the pair, not a census of every independent worker in Tulsa. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count above the donor count, here only modestly. Mean per receipt is about $1,351; mean per donor is about $1,689. Those averages are packet quotients, not typical invoices.
SELF EMPLOYED is the exact stored occupation/employer grouping. Related strings such as self-employed with a trade, owner, or a business name are other keys unless the filer typed SELF EMPLOYED. $20,271 does not silently absorb those variants. City labels are filer-entered; Tulsa, OK is not merged with other Oklahoma city strings.
Tulsa, OK with every employer string still on
Without the SELF EMPLOYED filter, Tulsa, OK records $128,640,043 across 270,118 contributions. $20,271 is under 0.1% of that city book. Exact occupation matching usually leaves most city dollars on other labels. The packet does not publish a small-business sector roll-up. Do not treat $20,271 as Tulsa's entire independent-work economy.
Tulsa is an Oklahoma city field. Oklahoma campaign finance is the state parent. Do not add $20,271 into the Oklahoma hub as a new increment; the same tape already holds these lines when the extract is consistent. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. Those pages are siblings, not components of $20,271.
Self Employed rows stored outside Tulsa
The Self Employed industry hub collects the same stored string in every city. $20,271 is only the Tulsa, OK slice published here. A SELF EMPLOYED line in another Oklahoma city is a different join. A Tulsa line with a different occupation string is a different join. Packet facts for this pair remain $20,271, 15 contributions, and 12 donors.
This packet does not split $20,271 by committee, party, or cycle. If those dimensions exist, they belong on the live Self Employed page or the live Tulsa, OK page. Keep both nouns in any citation so the join cannot be misread as a statewide self-employed total.
What $20,271 does not measure in Tulsa
Unitemized federal gifts, Oklahoma state-office filings, and independent expenditures sit outside $20,271. The total is not a count of sole proprietorships and not a measure of 1099 volume. PAC addresses that stored TULSA and SELF EMPLOYED follow the same city-and-industry rule as household addresses.
Twelve donors and $20,271 do not show that self-employed filers run Tulsa politics. Correlation is not causation. The join is two filer-entered fields. If the live overlay later shows a different dollar total, receipt count, or donor count, the newer FEC extract controls.
Links for Tulsa, OK and Self Employed without mixing ledgers
Internal links are Tulsa, OK, Self Employed, Oklahoma campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use every href. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending obligations. This packet has no award dollars. Do not add $20,271 to federal spending in Oklahoma because both series can mention the same city name.
Keep both sides in the sentence: Self Employed and Tulsa, OK. $20,271 is a subset of $128,640,043, not a second city book. 270,118 is the unfiltered city line count. The join's line count is 15. Do not add 15 to 270,118.

Questions
- How much did Self Employed donors in Tulsa, OK give?
- Itemized FEC individual contributions storing SELF EMPLOYED and city TULSA total $20,271 across 15 receipts from 12 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Tulsa, OK's $128,640,043 all-industry book. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
- Does Self Employed in Tulsa include every owner or contractor spelling?
- No. Only the exact stored string SELF EMPLOYED is inside $20,271. Other employer spellings, including hyphenated variants, are other keys. Twelve donors and 15 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a business-license roster.
- What share of Tulsa, OK itemized money is Self Employed?
- $20,271 is under 0.1% of the $128,640,043 Tulsa, OK city book (270,118 contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.
- Do Self Employed donations in Tulsa fund federal awards in Oklahoma?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $20,271 does not become a contract. This packet has no obligation dollars. Different statutes, different forms. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
