Associate donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Associate × 2010

ASSOCIATE plus cycle 2010 equals $867,386. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2010. Associate attorney, law firm associate, sales associate, and research associate are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a law-firm headcount, a title-standardization file, or a partnership census. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Associate donations at /occupations/associate/ and the 2010 election cycle at /election-cycles/2010/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $867,386 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Associate in 2010 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $867,386. Legal versus finance versus retail uses of the same word is unpublished for Associate in 2010. The occupation page and the 2010 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

ASSOCIATE as a one-word title

$14.9 million ($14,867,080) belongs to the exact string ASSOCIATE across harvested cycles. It is not a law-firm headcount, a title-standardization file, or a partnership census. People who wrote nearby wording — associate attorney, law firm associate, sales associate, and research associate — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2010 slice is 5.8% of that title bucket. Share of ASSOCIATE is not share of all 2010 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $867,386. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $14,867,080. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Associate donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $867,386.

1,312 associate receipts from 302 donors

302 donors and 1,312 receipts — about 4.3 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $661; mean per donor about $2,872. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 302 donors makes this a modest occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,312 is a line count, not 302 one-time gifts; receipts outnumber donors by a wide margin, so repeat gifts and amended lines are doing real work in the count. Legal versus finance versus retail uses of the same word is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by ASSOCIATE. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $867,386.

A vague title versus employer PACs

Cite $867,386 as Associate in 2010. Cite $14,867,080 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add the employer’s PAC to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $867,386 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.8%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode ASSOCIATE into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite associate money in 2010

A clean footnote names occupation ASSOCIATE, election cycle 2010, $867,386 in itemized individual contributions, 1,312 receipts, and 302 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $661 per line and $2,872 per donor in the cell. If the live Associate donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,312 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Associate donations rolls every cycle into one ASSOCIATE running total. The 2010 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2010 total. Only the Associate × 2010 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,312 receipts and $867,386. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
