BUSINESSMAN

A thinner midterm slice of the same title word

Two hundred fifty-three unique donors produced 975 itemized lines totaling $7.48 million in 2014. That is on the order of 3.9 lines per donor, close to the 2012 ratio of about 4.1, on a smaller roster. Dollars fell more than the line-per-donor ratio did. This page reports the 2014 packet; it does not diagnose why midterm volume differed from the presidential join.

Eight point four percent of $88,737,341 is a modest cycle share. Most of the title-word book sits elsewhere. The Businessman parent page holds the all-cycle roll-up so readers do not have to add 2012 and 2014 by hand and miss other cycles.

SELF EMPLOYED, BUSINESS OWNER, and firm legal names remain other keys. The Businessman 2014 overlay lists the 253 disclosed contributors in this string.

2014 as a midterm FEC window

FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2014. The 2014 election cycle hub shows other occupation-style words in the same window. Comparing BUSINESSMAN’s $7.48 million to FARMER or DENTIST in 2014 is a comparison of form text, not of BLS employment.

Party share is not in the packet.
