Self Employed political contributions from Washington

Occupation SELF EMPLOYED and donor state WA

SELF EMPLOYED plus donor state WA equals $1,093,282. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the donor-state field was WA. Self-Employed, Owner, Entrepreneur, and Independent Contractor are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an exact SELF placeholder, a Schedule C census, or an incorporation file. Other-state amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder $35,364,540.

Parent hubs: Self Employed donations and Washington campaign finance. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-state cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $1,093,282 into another state or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Self Employed in Washington are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1,093,282. 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. The occupation page and the Washington state page are the next clicks for named committees. Donor names are absent and are not invented.

SELF EMPLOYED as typed, not a job census

$36,457,822 belongs to the exact string SELF EMPLOYED across harvested states. It is not an exact SELF placeholder, a Schedule C census, or an incorporation file. People who wrote nearby wording — Self-Employed, Owner, Entrepreneur, and Independent Contractor — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The Washington slice is 3.0% of that title bucket. Share of SELF EMPLOYED is not share of all Washington receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,093,282. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $36,457,822. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Self Employed donations and the live Washington campaign finance pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

Address code WA next to Self Employed

State WA on a contribution row is the donor’s reported state, not the committee’s state and not the candidate’s state. $1,093,282 can support committees anywhere the FEC accepts filings. Do not rewrite $1,093,282 as “Washington politics” in the sense of only Washington races.

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. 228 donor keys are not a professional-board roster for Washington. People who live in Washington but typed a different occupation string are on the state hub, not in this cell.

6,892 Self Employed receipts from Washington

228 donors and 6,892 receipts — about 30.2 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $159; mean per donor about $4,795. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 6,892 is a line count, not 228 one-time gifts. 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. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by SELF EMPLOYED in Washington. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1,093,282.

What not to infer from Self Employed plus Washington

This page does not count licensed self employed professionals in Washington, rank employers, or claim that Self Employed-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SELF EMPLOYED is not a sibling title even when one person used both strings on different forms.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state WA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License counts and employer payrolls are not in these packet numbers.
