Ale Finishing Spray and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Two keys: ALE FINISHING SPRAY and 2014

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string ALE FINISHING SPRAY, cycle 2014. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $367,860, from 42 contributions and 1 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as employer string as filed on FEC forms. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Filers who wrote a longer firm name, a parent company, or a nearby title are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets.

$367,860 is smaller than $4,552,590 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2014 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $4,184,730 still sits

After this 2014 cell of $367,860, $4,184,730 of the Ale Finishing Spray grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 91.9% of $4,552,590. The 2014 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2014 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 8.1% is Ale Finishing Spray-internal. Because 2014 is about 8.1% of $4,552,590, most stored Ale Finishing Spray money sits outside this window ($4,184,730). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2014 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 1 donors produced 42 gifts

1 donors and 42 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 42.0 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups. The donor count is 1: one unique contributor identity in this aggregate, not a named person in this JSON file.

$367,860 per donor and $8,759 per line are derived from $367,860. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $367,860, 42 contributions, 1 donors. Derived means are $8,759 per gift and $367,860 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2014 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $367,860. The FEC cycle 2014 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2014. The tie is Ale Finishing Spray in 2014. Only the tie is $367,860. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2014 is two years. Both years can feed $367,860. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the Ale Finishing Spray string

The string ALE FINISHING SPRAY is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is employer string as filed on FEC forms. Related names remain other keys. $367,860 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 1 donors and 42 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that ALE FINISHING SPRAY is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. Ale Finishing Spray is employer string as filed on FEC forms. $367,860 is a text-match aggregate for 2014 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping Ale Finishing Spray 2014 distinct from the hubs

Ale Finishing Spray without 2014 is $4,552,590. 2014 without Ale Finishing Spray is the year hub. Ale Finishing Spray with 2014 is $367,860. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Ale Finishing Spray 2014 (overlay), Ale Finishing Spray (grouping), 2014 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names ALE FINISHING SPRAY, 2014, $367,860, 42 contributions, 1 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 8.1% of $4,552,590 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: Ale Finishing Spray in 2014 is $367,860 from 42 itemized individual contributions and 1 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,552,590 across cycles, so 2014 is about 8.1% and other windows hold $4,184,730 (91.9%). The grouping is employer string as filed on FEC forms, not a consumer-products PAC, a cosmetics NAICS rollup, or a named brand treasury. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $8,759; mean per donor about $367,860; about 42.0 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2014 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $367,860.
