WRITER

Writer as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Writer and 2010 — sum to $1,433,226. 1,325 itemized contributions and 359 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 Writer hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Writer is a self-reported title, not a guild membership file and not a publishing NAICS roll-up. 359 donors and 1,325 lines in 2010 matched that word. AUTHOR, JOURNALIST, SCREENWRITER, FREELANCE WRITER, and named publishers sit in other keys. This page is the stored string WRITER.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Writer 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Writer 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $1,433,226, 1,325 contributions, 359 donors, and 4.4% of $32,663,526.

4.4% of the Writer roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $32,663,526. The 2010 slice of $1,433,226 is about 4.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.6% ($31,230,300). Treating 2010 as the Writer FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $32,663,526 as the denominator for the 4.4% 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 $32,663,526.

A 4.4% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Writer hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Writer to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions

How much did Writer donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $1,433,226 in itemized individual contributions for the Writer grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 1,325 contributions and 359 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $32,663,526 all-cycle figure.

What share of Writer FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $32,663,526. The 2010 cell of $1,433,226 is about 4.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.6% ($31,230,300) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Writer hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Writer donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string WRITER. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $1,433,226 from 359 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Writer 2010 join?

Open Writer 2010 for the cycle overlay, Writer for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
