POLITICAL CONSULTANT

Political Consultant as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Political Consultant and 2010 — sum to $261,927. 254 itemized contributions and 53 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 Political Consultant hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Political Consultant is a self-reported title, not an LDA registrant list. Fifty-three donors and 254 lines in 2010 are matching identities. People who listed a named firm instead of the title sit on employer pages. The FEC does not certify that the 53 keys were paid campaign vendors that cycle. CONSULTANT, LOBBYIST, CAMPAIGN CONSULTANT, STRATEGIST, and named consulting firms are other keys. This page is the two-word Political Consultant string.

6.1% of the Political Consultant roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,327,768 ($4.3 million). The 2010 slice of $261,927 is about 6.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.9%. Treating 2010 as the Political Consultant FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,327,768 as the denominator for the 6.1% 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 $4,327,768.
