Itemized individual contributions tagged GEOLOGIST in the 2010 cycle add to $206,872. FEC.gov counts 173 lines and 67 donors. The industry hub for Geologist stores $4,306,318 across cycles, putting this window near 4.8%. Self-reported occupation title is the grouping, not a geology PAC, not a professional-society roster, and not an oil-and-gas NAICS total.
Key figures
- Geologist × 2010 is $206,872 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 173 contributions from 67 donors.
- 2010 is about 4.8% of the grouping’s $4,306,318 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (self-reported occupation title), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
GEOLOGIST meeting cycle 2010
$206,872 is not the Geologist hub and is not the 2010 cycle hub. It is the overlap. FEC.gov counts 173 itemized individual contributions and 67 donors inside that overlap. Committee-to-committee transfers and independent expenditures are not in the sum.
The grouping label is the string GEOLOGIST as committees stored it. Geologist is self-reported occupation title. GEOLOGY, PETROLEUM GEOLOGIST, and named energy employers are other keys. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export.
Lifetime for GEOLOGIST is $4,306,318. 2010 accounts for about 4.8% of that running sum. The rest, $4,099,446, belongs to other cycles on the industry hub. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.
4.8% is not a ranking
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,306,318. The 2010 slice of $206,872 is about 4.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.2% ($4,099,446). Treating 2010 as the entire Geologist FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $4,306,318 as the denominator for the 4.8% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $4,306,318. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
