FEC individual gifts: Administrator in 2010

Why Administrator and 2010 share a page

Occupation and cycle are independent fields on the same itemized rows. Joining them does not create new receipts. It hides rows that fail either test. After both tests, Administrator in 2010 shows $1,149,903, 1,696 contributions, and 933 donors. The occupation extract without a cycle filter is $27,323,501.

Because labels are filer-entered, ADMINISTRATOR is not a controlled vocabulary. A person can type ADMINISTRATOR on one gift and a longer title on the next. Only the rows that match this string enter $1,149,903. See Administrator donations for the string’s all-cycle dollars and 2010 election cycle for the 2010 mix of every occupation.

Occupation-wide dollars for Administrator

The occupation-wide total for ADMINISTRATOR on this extract is $27,323,501 ($27.3 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2010. $1,149,903 is the 2010 slice (4.2%). ADMINISTRATOR is the exact title string. HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR, SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, and ADMIN are other keys. The join does not place the filer in health care, education, or government from the word alone.

ADMINISTRATOR is not recoded to a Standard Occupational Classification code on this page. Readers who want SOC or BLS employment counts need those agencies. FEC occupation is a free-text field. $27,323,501 inherits that messiness. The 2010 filter does not clean it.

The even-year window that holds $1.1 million

The 2010 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2010 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, Administrator accounts for $1,149,903 on 1,696 contributions from 933 donors.

The 2010 filter is the FEC cycle code on the aggregate, not a news-cycle. Primary, runoff, and general dates inside the window are not split in this packet. $1,149,903 is the window sum. Do not allocate it across months or offices without another table.

Donor identity versus contribution rows for ADMINISTRATOR

1,696 contributions and 933 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 1,696 divided by 933 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,149,903 divided by 933 is about $1,232 per donor; $1,149,903 divided by 1,696 is about $678 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Repeat the units when you quote: $1,149,903 itemized individual contributions, 1,696 lines, 933 unique donors, occupation string ADMINISTRATOR, FEC cycle 2010. Dropping the units is how a join gets rewritten as a headline about an industry bloc.

A complete citation names occupation ADMINISTRATOR, cycle 2010, dollars $1,149,903, contribution lines 1,696, and unique donors 933. Omitting the occupation string makes the cycle look occupation-wide. Omitting the cycle makes the occupation hub look like a single-year figure. Omitting the donor count invites a reader to treat 1,696 as people. Keep all five tokens.

Caveats that travel with $1,149,903

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that Administrator as a profession acted in concert in 2010.

Nothing on this page assigns a motive. Itemized receipts are legal disclosures. 933 people who typed ADMINISTRATOR in 2010 produced $1,149,903. That sentence is complete. Adding “because” requires a source this packet does not contain.

Administrator donations is the all-cycle table for this string. 2010 election cycle is the all-occupation table for 2010. All occupations is the string inventory. All FEC ties is the join inventory. None of those pages authorizes adding $1,149,903 to a USAspending obligation total or ranking Administrator as more influential than another title.

Questions

How much Administrator money shows up in 2010 on FEC.gov?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation ADMINISTRATOR total $1,149,903 in the 2010 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 1,696 contributions and 933 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $27,323,501, so 2010 is 4.2% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

How does $1,149,903 relate to $27,323,501?

No. $1,149,903 is the 2010 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $27,323,501 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of Administrator donations and not a restatement of 2010 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

What do 933 donors and 1,696 lines mean?

The join lists 933 unique donors and 1,696 contribution lines for ADMINISTRATOR in 2010. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $1,232 per donor and $678 per line are means from $1,149,903, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Is ADMINISTRATOR a recoded occupation category?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string ADMINISTRATOR as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See Administrator donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
