AMERICAN EXPRESS

American Express as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — AMERICAN EXPRESS and 2010 — sum to $166,516. 178 itemized contributions and 68 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the American Express hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. American Express is card-network employer text, not a verified payroll file. 68 donors and 178 lines in 2010 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string AMERICAN EXPRESS.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,940,512 (all cycles for this string) as the 2010 story, and does not treat the 2010 cycle hub as a American Express-only list. Two filters, one cell: $166,516.

3.4% of the American Express roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,940,512. The 2010 slice of $166,516 is about 3.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.6% ($4,773,996). Treating 2010 as the entire American Express FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $4,940,512 as the denominator for the 3.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $4,940,512. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
