+6Hi @dfresh,
I'm not sure if this totally addresses your workflow, but the Dissolver (https://docs.safe.com/fme/2017.1/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/dissolver.htm) might be a good place to start.
We have this article that uses the example of dissolving boundaries based on election results : https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/28997/merging-polygons-with-the-dissolver-transformer.html
