Fifty-six Utah Self Employed donors on a high-dollar cell

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state UT produce $889,379, 1,470 contributions, and 56 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%, 0.9%, 0.8%). Utah tracks the national Self Employed mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Utah Self Employed dollar share runs far ahead of donor share on a thin fifty-six-donor cell.

Self Employed is a two-word self-employment label as typed, not the placeholder exact self. 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 $889,379 or $36,457,822. This Utah join is a different state filter from the Colorado Self Employed tie; do not add the two state totals on this page.

Fifty-six Utah donors produced 1,470 contributions, about 26.2 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 Utah cell are about $15,882, 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 a real occupation string, not exact self

SELF EMPLOYED is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Utah 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. Utah’s 1,470 contributions from 56 donors is the UT-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 Utah.

Utah on the donor-state field

Fifty-six Utah donors produced 1,470 contributions totaling $889,379. Donor state UT is the address on the record, not proof of a Utah professional license, and not a limit to Utah candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Utah campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to UT. This join is only SELF EMPLOYED. Subtract $889,379 from $36,457,822 and $35,568,443 remains coded Self Employed in every other state combined (167,642 contributions, 7,121 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Dollar share without matching donor share

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 Utah 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 UT is not recipient geography.

Owner strings that stay on other hubs

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 $889,379, 1,470 contributions, and 56 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Utah dollars, or only the Self Employed national total, drops a key.

Self Employed donations holds the $36,457,822 national occupation total. Utah 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. This Utah join is a different state filter from the Colorado Self Employed tie; do not add the two state totals on this page.
