  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Self Employed as a real occupation string meeting ActBlue

SELF EMPLOYED is a real occupation label as stored, not the junk placeholder Self. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. Longer strings such as Self Employed Attorney are other keys if FEC stored them that way. Matching rows sum to $5,899,426 across 115,682 contributions. The occupation hub is $36,457,822 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Self Employed. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

More than 100,000 itemized lines at a two-digit mean. This conduit holds a mid-teens share of the Self Employed book; most of the remainder went to other committees. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed SELF EMPLOYED; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

Self Employed Attorney, Self Employed Consultant, and Business Owner are other keys if stored separately. Self Employed holds the occupation-wide $36,457,822. ACTBLUE holds committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Exact Self, Unemployed, and Homemaker are skipped junk labels on other packets. This grouping is the longer Self Employed string and is written.

A mid-teens share of the Self Employed grouping

The Self Employed occupation grouping shows $36,457,822 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $5,899,426, or 16.2% of that total. The remaining $30,558,396 (83.8%) went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Self Employed keeps the $36,457,822 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for the FEC placeholder Self, an unemployment file, or a sole-prop census.

A high-count ActBlue cell under Self Employed

ACTBLUE received $5,899,426 from Self Employed-coded receipts across 115,682 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $51 per contribution. 115,682 lines are not 115,682 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $5,899,426 total. Exact Self, Unemployed, and Homemaker are skipped junk labels on other packets. This grouping is the longer Self Employed string and is written.

Self Employed is not the placeholder Self

A 16.2% share of Self Employed-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. Do not merge Self Employed with Business Owner or with exact Self. The stored occupation text is the unit. Employer lines on the same receipts are not this aggregate. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $5,899,426 as 16.2% of $36,457,822 into C00401224, with 115,682 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 115,682 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. Self Employed Attorney, Self Employed Consultant, and Business Owner are other keys if stored separately.

How to cite Self Employed × C00401224

A complete claim names Self Employed and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $5,899,426, 115,682 contributions, and 16.2% of $36,457,822, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $30,558,396 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Mean gift $51 is $5,899,426 divided by 115,682 lines. It is not a typical check and not a contribution limit. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $5,899,426 to $36,457,822. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages.
