Contributions

126

Unique Donors

Donors listing US Senate reported $453,851 in itemized individual contributions during the 2010 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 186 contributions from 52 donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,513,115; the 2010 slice is about 10.1% of that running sum. The key is filer-entered employer text — not a roll-call of sitting senators, not a Senate office payroll, and not a leadership PAC.

Key figures

  • US Senate × 2010 is $453,851 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 186 contributions from 52 donors.
  • 2010 is about 10.1% of the grouping’s $4,513,115 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a roll-call of sitting senators, not a Senate office payroll, and not a leadership PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

US Senate crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — US Senate and 2010 — sum to $453,851. 186 itemized contributions and 52 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. This page joins the employer grouping US Senate to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the US Senate hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 52 unique donors and 186 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string US SENATE. UNITED STATES SENATE, U.S. SENATE, SENATE, and US HOUSE stay on their own keys if filers used them. Legislative-branch payroll or other legislative USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

10.1% of the US Senate roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,513,115 ($4.5 million). The 2010 slice of $453,851 is about 10.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.9%, or $4,059,264. Treating 2010 as the US Senate FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $453,851 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $4,513,115 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $4,513,115 as the denominator for the 10.1% 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 $4,513,115. 10.1% is $453,851 divided by $4,513,115. Rounding to $453,851 and $4.5 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Questions

How much did US Senate donors give in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $453,851 in itemized individual contributions for the US Senate grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 186 contributions and 52 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,513,115 all-cycle figure. Cite FEC.gov for the US Senate × 2010 join.
What share of US Senate FEC money is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,513,115. The 2010 cell of $453,851 is about 10.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.9% ($4,059,264) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the US Senate hub holds other cycles.
Is this US Senate’s PAC or an official account?
No. $453,851 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to US Senate. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup. The key is not a roll-call of sitting senators, not a Senate office payroll, and not a leadership PAC. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
Where is the overlay for the US Senate 2010 join?
Open Us Senate 2010 for the cycle overlay, Us Senate for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
