CONSULTANT

Consultant as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Consultant and 2010 — sum to $3,861,676. 4,194 itemized contributions and 1,288 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 Consultant hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Consultant is a self-reported title, not a professional-license file and not a consulting-industry NAICS roll-up. 1,288 donors and 4,194 lines in 2010 matched that word. CONSULTING, MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, CONSULTANT/OWNER, and named consulting firms sit in other keys. This page is the stored string CONSULTANT.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Consultant 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Consultant 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $3,861,676, 4,194 contributions, 1,288 donors, and 4.2% of $91,820,178.

4.2% of the Consultant roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $91,820,178. The 2010 slice of $3,861,676 is about 4.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.8% ($87,958,502). Treating 2010 as the Consultant FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $91,820,178 as the denominator for the 4.2% 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 $91,820,178.

A 4.2% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Consultant hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Consultant to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

FEC.gov aggregates show $3,861,676 in itemized individual contributions for the Consultant grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 4,194 contributions and 1,288 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $91,820,178 all-cycle figure.

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $91,820,178. The 2010 cell of $3,861,676 is about 4.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.8% ($87,958,502) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Consultant hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Consultant donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string CONSULTANT. 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 $3,861,676 from 1,288 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Consultant 2010 join?

Open Consultant 2010 for the cycle overlay, Consultant 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.
