How much did CPA-listed donors give in 2014?

LobbyVault attributes $8,347,319 to the CPA string in 2014, from 1,058 contributions and 358 donors. These are itemized individual receipts.

Is 2014 smaller than CPA in 2012?

In this extract, 2014 is $8,347,319 from 358 donors versus the 2012 join’s $10,982,433 from 503 donors. They are separate cycle packets. The all-cycle CPA total is $77,953,344.

Does this count every CPA who donated in 2014?

No. Only receipts grouped to CPA are in the $8.3 million. ACCOUNTANT and firm names are other keys. The 358 count is not a license census.

Should I add 2012 and 2014 CPA totals?

The parent CPA page already publishes the all-cycle total of $77,953,344. Adding two cycle joins can miss other cycles and is not a packet field on this page.

Contributors who listed CPA on federal itemized receipts account for $8,347,319 in the 2014 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. That slice is 1,058 contributions from 358 donors. The all-cycle CPA total is $77,953,344. Cycle 2014 is 10.7% of that parent book. A sibling join covers CPA in 2012 at $10,982,433 from 503 donors. This file is the midterm cut only. CPA remains credential-style text, not a state-board roster and not ACCOUNTANT.

A smaller midterm slice of the same credential key

Three hundred fifty-eight unique donors produced 1,058 itemized lines totaling $8.35 million in 2014. That is on the order of 3.0 lines per donor, close to the 2012 ratio of about 3.1, on a smaller roster (358 versus 503) and a smaller dollar total. This page does not treat the drop from 2012 to 2014 as a professional-trend finding. It reports two different cycle packets as two joins.

Ten point seven percent of $77,953,344 is the 2014 share. Most of the credential book sits in other cycles. Do not add 2012 and 2014 on this page; the parent industry page already holds the all-cycle total.

The Cpa 2014 overlay lists disclosed names. LobbyVault does not verify licenses.

2014 versus 2012 without turning them into a story

FEC cycle 2014 is a midterm window; 2012 is a presidential window. Different clocks, different packets. The 2014 election cycle hub shows other occupation-style strings in the same midterm, including DENTIST and FARMER joins in this series.

ACCOUNTANT and firm-name keys remain separate. Mixing them with CPA’s $8,347,319 would recreate the category error the 2012 CPA page already refuses.
