Attorney at Law and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Attorney at Law crossed with 2010

Occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Attorney at Law and 2010 — sum to $389,562. 366 itemized contributions and 138 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. This page joins the occupation grouping Attorney at Law to cycle 2010; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Attorney at Law hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 138 unique donors and 366 lines in 2010 sit under the stored string ATTORNEY AT LAW. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ESQ, and COUNSEL stay on their own keys if filers used them. DOJ, federal-defender, or other legal-services USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

4.8% of the Attorney at Law roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,080,474 ($8.1 million). The 2010 slice of $389,562 is about 4.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.2%, or $7,690,912. Treating 2010 as the Attorney at Law FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $389,562 when the sentence is about 2010. Quote $8,080,474 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $8,080,474 as the denominator for the 4.8% 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 $8,080,474. 4.8% is $389,562 divided by $8,080,474. Rounding to $389,562 and $8.1 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

366 contributions from 138 donors

Dividing $389,562 by 366 contributions yields about $1,064 per itemized gift. Dividing by 138 donors yields about $2,823 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.7. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Attorney At Law 2010 holds the rows.

138 unique donors are contributor identities on itemized receipts, not a headcount of people who currently work under that title. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Unitemized gifts never appear in $389,562. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 366 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the live overlay. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer or occupation for that window. Attorney at Law 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 occupation grouping filter and Attorney at Law to drop the year. FEC cycle 2010 covers 2009–2010. A gift dated in the odd year and a gift dated in the even year can share the $389,562 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 366 contributions, the 138 unique donors, and the 4.8% share of $8,080,474. Comparing Attorney at Law in 2010 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.

Limits of the Attorney at Law × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $389,562. DOJ, federal-defender, or other legal-services USAspending rows are different datasets. Sharing an employer or occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Correlation between a stored string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 138 donors, and 366 contributions.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ESQ, and COUNSEL are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into ATTORNEY AT LAW. ATTORNEY AT LAW is grouped occupation text as stored on FEC individual receipts — not a state-bar membership roll, not a law-firm payroll, and not an ABA PAC. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. A ranking of industries for 2010 is a different page — the 2010 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

Citing Attorney at Law and 2010 together

Start with $389,562, then Attorney At Law 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Attorney at Law, 2010, $389,562, 366 contributions, 138 donors, 4.8% of $8,080,474, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.8% share, the 138 donors count, and the $1,064 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling string 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. Do not print a 2010 share of US politics from $389,562. The denominator for 4.8% is $8,080,474, the Attorney at Law grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.
