What did FEC.gov record for Broker in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $221,786 in itemized individual contributions for the Broker grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 242 contributions and 60 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,804,460 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

What is left after the 2010 Broker cell?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,804,460. The 2010 cell of $221,786 is about 3.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.2% ($5,582,674) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Broker hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is $221,786 an official Broker organization gift?

No. $221,786 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to Broker (BROKER) in the 2010 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 242 contributions came from 60 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.

Where are other FEC two-dimension pages?

Open Broker 2010 for the cycle overlay, Broker for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

$221,786 as a two-field overlap

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Broker (BROKER) and 2010 — sum to $221,786. 242 itemized contributions and 60 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.

Neither the Broker hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. BROKER is a short occupation string, not STOCKBROKER and not TRADER. Those neighboring occupation pages are other joins. Sixty unique donors produced 242 lines. INSURANCE BROKER and REAL ESTATE BROKER are other keys if stored. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $221,786. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

Other cycles hold $5,582,674

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,804,460 ($5.8 million). The 2010 slice of $221,786 is about 3.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.2% ($5,582,674). Treating 2010 as the Broker FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,804,460 as the denominator for the 3.8% 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 $5,804,460.
