Agent political money in the 2010 election cycle

Agent as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation AGENT and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $690,125, 1,725 contributions, and 444 donors. AGENT in 2010 is the same ambiguous string as the 2014 cell. The typed word still mixes several job uses. The occupation hub is $11,103,127 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2010’s dollar share is 6.2% ($690,125 of $11,103,127). The remainder, $10,413,002, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 1,725 lines from 444 donors—about 3.9 gifts per person—is another high-repeat Agent cell, not a unique-person headcount. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $690,125.

The same broad Agent roll, a 2010 midterm cut

$11,103,127 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Real Estate Agent, Insurance Agent, and Talent Agent are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $11,103,127 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Agent donations for the $11,103,127 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Other Agent cycle cells are separate harvests. Cite each cycle’s packet rather than averaging them.

444 donors and about 3.9 gifts per donor

Dividing $690,125 by 1,725 contributions yields about $400 per gift. Dividing by 444 donors yields about $1,554 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 3.9 (1,725 ÷ 444). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

444 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 444 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.

What 6.2% of Agent-coded dollars is not

A 6.2% share of Agent-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $690,125 as itemized individual receipts tagged AGENT in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Agent × 2010

A complete claim names Agent and 2010, then $690,125, 1,725 contributions, 444 donors, and 6.2% of $11,103,127, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 444 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Agent and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $400 and mean per donor $1,554 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and the 2014 sibling join

The occupation hub still holds $10,413,002 outside 2010. Most of the $11,103,127 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Real Estate Agent, Insurance Agent, and Talent Agent are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of AGENT on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 3.9. That ratio is 1,725 divided by 444, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Agent-tagged donors give in 2010?

The join records $690,125 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Agent in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 1,725 contributions and 444 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $11,103,127, so 2010 is 6.2% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every agent who donated in 2010?

No. The 444 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to AGENT in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $690,125 on 1,725 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Agent occupation money is the 2010 cycle?

6.2%: $690,125 of $11,103,127. The remaining $10,413,002 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $690,125 divided by $11,103,127, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live Agent and 2010 tables?

Agent donations carries the $11,103,127 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Agent beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Agent × 2010 intersection only.
