Agent political money in the 2014 election cycle

Agent as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation AGENT and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $705,210, 1,705 contributions, and 383 donors. AGENT is an ambiguous occupation string. Real-estate, insurance, entertainment, and other uses share the typed word. The occupation hub is $11,103,127 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 6.4% ($705,210 of $11,103,127). The remainder, $10,397,917, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 1,705 lines from 383 donors—about 4.5 gifts per person—is a high-repeat 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 $705,210.

A broad Agent roll that mixes several job uses

$11,103,127 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. 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 2014 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. Repeat itemization, not a larger workforce, is the story the 4.5 gifts-per-donor ratio tells.

383 donors and about 4.5 gifts per donor

Dividing $705,210 by 1,705 contributions yields about $414 per gift. Dividing by 383 donors yields about $1,841 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 4.5 (1,705 ÷ 383). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

383 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 383 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 6.4% of Agent-coded dollars is not

A 6.4% share of Agent-coded dollars from 2014 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 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $705,210 as itemized individual receipts tagged AGENT in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Agent × 2014

A complete claim names Agent and 2014, then $705,210, 1,705 contributions, 383 donors, and 6.4% of $11,103,127, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 383 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 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $414 and mean per donor $1,841 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and Real Estate Agent as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $10,397,917 outside 2014. 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 2014 average about 4.5. That ratio is 1,705 divided by 383, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Agent-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $705,210 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Agent in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 1,705 contributions and 383 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $11,103,127, so 2014 is 6.4% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every agent who donated in 2014?

No. The 383 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to AGENT in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $705,210 on 1,705 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Agent occupation money is the 2014 cycle?

6.4%: $705,210 of $11,103,127. The remaining $10,397,917 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $705,210 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 2014 tables?

Agent donations carries the $11,103,127 occupation total. The 2014 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 × 2014 intersection only.
