BUSINESSMAN

Businessman as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Businessman and 2010 — sum to $2,362,837. 1,166 itemized contributions and 309 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 Businessman hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Businessman is a self-reported title, not a Census of businesses and not a chamber-of-commerce roll. 309 donors and 1,166 lines in 2010 matched that word. BUSINESSWOMAN, BUSINESS OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, EXECUTIVE, and named companies sit in other keys. This page is the stored string BUSINESSMAN.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Businessman 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Businessman 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $2,362,837, 1,166 contributions, 309 donors, and 2.7% of $88,737,341.

2.7% of the Businessman roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $88,737,341. The 2010 slice of $2,362,837 is about 2.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.3% ($86,374,504). Treating 2010 as the Businessman FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $88,737,341 as the denominator for the 2.7% 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 $88,737,341.

A 2.7% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Businessman hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Businessman to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Businessman donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string BUSINESSMAN. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $2,362,837 from 309 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Businessman 2010 join?

Open Businessman 2010 for the cycle overlay, Businessman 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.
