Akin Gump and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Donors listing Akin Gump reported $284,729 in itemized individual contributions during the 2010 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 298 contributions from 94 donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,959,676; the 2010 slice is about 5.7% of that running sum. The key is not a law-firm Am Law ranking and not an Akin Gump PAC.

Key figures

  • Akin Gump × 2010 is $284,729 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 298 contributions from 94 donors.
  • 2010 is about 5.7% of the grouping’s $4,959,676 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a law-firm Am Law ranking and not an Akin Gump PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Akin Gump crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Akin Gump and 2010 — sum to $284,729. 298 itemized contributions and 94 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. AKIN GUMP is grouped employer text in shortened form. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not recode the full Strauss Hauer & Feld legal name into this total unless that text grouped here.

Neither the Akin Gump hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Akin Gump hub is the year index for this string. AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD, AKIN GUMP LLP, and ATTORNEY occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal legal-services awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

5.7% of the Akin Gump roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5.0 million ($4,959,676). The 2010 slice of $284,729 is about 5.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.3%. Treating 2010 as the Akin Gump FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,959,676 as the denominator for the 5.7% 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 $4,959,676.

298 contributions from 94 donors

Dividing $284,729 by 298 contributions yields about $955 per itemized gift. Dividing by 94 donors yields about $3,029 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

94 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Akin Gump 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Akin Gump is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Akin Gump to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $284,729 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 298 contributions, the 94 unique donors, and the 5.7% share of $4,959,676.

Limits of the Akin Gump × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $284,729. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a law-firm Am Law ranking and not an Akin Gump PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 94 donors, and 298 contributions. AKIN GUMP STRAUSS HAUER & FELD, AKIN GUMP LLP, and generic ATTORNEY occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Akin Gump and 2010 together

Start with $284,729, then Akin Gump 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Akin Gump, 2010, $284,729, 298 contributions, 94 donors, 5.7% of $4,959,676, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 5.7% share, the 94-donor count, and the $955 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.

Questions

How much did Akin Gump donors give in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $284,729 in itemized individual contributions for the Akin Gump grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 298 contributions and 94 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,959,676 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,959,676. The 2010 cell of $284,729 is about 5.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.3% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Akin Gump hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

No. $284,729 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Akin Gump. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a law-firm Am Law ranking and not an Akin Gump PAC.
