Key figures
- Auto Dealer × 2010 is $388,294 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 464 contributions from 94 donors.
- 2010 is about 5.0% of the grouping’s $7,708,506 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not an NADA dealer census, not a vehicle-sales NAICS total, and not a dealer PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Auto Dealer crossed with 2010
Occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Auto Dealer and 2010 — sum to $388,294. 464 itemized contributions and 94 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. This page joins the occupation grouping Auto Dealer to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.
Neither the Auto Dealer hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 94 unique donors and 464 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string AUTO DEALER. CAR DEALER, AUTOMOBILE DEALER, CAR SALES, and AUTO SALES stay on their own keys if filers used them. GSA fleet, DoD vehicle, or other automotive USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
5.0% of the Auto Dealer roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,708,506 ($7.7 million). The 2010 slice of $388,294 is about 5.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.0%, or $7,320,212. Treating 2010 as the Auto Dealer FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $388,294 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $7,708,506 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.
Treat $7,708,506 as the denominator for the 5.0% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $7,708,506. 5.0% is $388,294 divided by $7,708,506. Rounding to $388,294 and $7.7 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

- How much did Auto Dealer donors give in 2010?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $388,294 in itemized individual contributions for the Auto Dealer grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 464 contributions and 94 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,708,506 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the Auto Dealer × 2010 join.

- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,708,506. The 2010 cell of $388,294 is about 5.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.0% ($7,320,212) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Auto Dealer hub holds other cycles.
- Is this Auto Dealer’s PAC or an official account?

The key is not an NADA dealer census, not a vehicle-sales NAICS total, and not a dealer PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
- Where is the overlay for the Auto Dealer 2010 join?
- Open Auto Dealer 2010 for the cycle overlay, Auto Dealer for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
