Unique Donors

316 itemized gifts totaling $269,517 sit at the meeting of Lobbyist and the 2014 cycle. 81 unique donors produced the cell. FEC.gov is the source. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,325,023, so this window is about 6.2% — self-reported occupation in a two-year tag, not a registered-lobbyist census, a lobbying PAC, or Lobbying stored as another key.

81 unique donors; 316 itemized contributions; mean gift about $853.

Two keys: LOBBYIST and 2014

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string LOBBYIST, cycle 2014. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $269,517, from 316 contributions and 81 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as self-reported occupation. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Filers who wrote a longer firm name, a parent company, or a nearby title are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets.

$269,517 is smaller than $4,325,023 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2014 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $4,055,506 still sits

After this 2014 cell of $269,517, $4,055,506 of the Lobbyist grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 93.8% of $4,325,023. The 2014 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2014 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 6.2% is Lobbyist-internal. Because 2014 is about 6.2% of $4,325,023, most stored Lobbyist money sits outside this window ($4,055,506). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2014 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.
