The Teacher × 2014 join
LobbyVault stores FEC employer/industry strings separately from election cycles. Crossing them for Teacher and 2014 yields $317,826. That is 528 itemized lines and 136 unique donors. The figure is not a committee’s reported disbursement. FEC.gov remains the underlying source.
Self-reported occupation word can collide with similar form text. This join uses the exact grouping TEACHER. TEACHER is a title string, not a credential file. Named school districts typed as employer sit on other keys. The union as a committee is not this rollup. Neighboring stored labels include EDUCATOR, PROFESSOR, TEACHER/RETIRED, SCHOOL DISTRICT employer names, and named universities. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $317,826. The 136 donor identities are contributor keys, not a headcount of a workforce.
Dropping either filter changes the story. Drop the year and you see $10,159,471. Drop the string and you see the entire 2014 cycle. This page holds both filters at once.
Lifetime Teacher money versus 2014
A lifetime figure of $10,159,471 can swallow a single cycle if the join is skipped. 2014 is $317,826, about 3.1%. The leftover $9,841,645 belongs on other cycle pages for the same string, not in this cell.
$10,159,471 is still only this exact grouping. It is not every related company name and not a sector total. 3.1% describes 2014 inside Teacher, nothing else. $10,159,471 is the running sum for exact string TEACHER. 2014 contributes $317,826 (3.1%); the complement is $9,841,645 (96.9%). Changing one character in the employer field would move money to another grouping and change both the numerator and the denominator.
