Atty (attorney abbreviation) political money — 2010 cycle

Atty as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Atty and 2010 — sum to $639,270. 656 itemized contributions and 182 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.

Neither the Atty hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Atty is a self-reported abbreviation, not a state-bar licensee file and not the Lawyer or Attorney buckets. 182 donors and 656 lines in 2010 matched that word. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ESQ, and named law firms sit in other keys. This page is the abbreviation Atty only. This page is the stored string ATTY.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Atty 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Atty 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $639,270, 656 contributions, 182 donors, and 5.1% of $12,586,849.

5.1% of the Atty roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $12,586,849. The 2010 slice of $639,270 is about 5.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.9% ($11,947,579). Treating 2010 as the Atty FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $12,586,849 as the denominator for the 5.1% 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 $12,586,849.

A 5.1% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Atty hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Atty to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

656 contributions from 182 donors

Dividing $639,270 by 656 contributions yields about $974 per itemized gift. Dividing by 182 donors yields about $3,512 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.6. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

182 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 Atty 2010 holds the rows.

656 is a receipt count, not a unique-person census beyond the 182 donor figure already in the packet. A person who gave twice is two lines inside the 656. Unitemized gifts never appear in $639,270.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Atty 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 Atty to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $639,270 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 656 contributions, the 182 unique donors, and the 5.1% share of $12,586,849.

2010 is a midterm federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $639,270. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string ATTY. Cite the two packet dollars — $639,270 for the 2010 slice and $12,586,849 for the Atty book — and stop before assigning motive.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $639,270. 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 lawyers PAC and not a legal-services NAICS total.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 182 donors, and 656 contributions. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ESQ, and named law firms sit in other keys. This page is the abbreviation Atty only. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Do not read $639,270 as proof that Atty “drove” the 2010 cycle or that 2010 “drove” the Atty book. The join is two fields. If the live hubs disagree with $639,270 or 182 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Citing Atty and 2010 together

Start with $639,270, then Atty 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Atty, 2010, $639,270, 656 contributions, 182 donors, 5.1% of $12,586,849, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string ATTY.

The 5.1% share, the 182-donor count, and the $974 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 Atty donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $639,270 in itemized individual contributions for the Atty grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 656 contributions and 182 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $12,586,849 all-cycle figure.

What share of Atty FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $12,586,849. The 2010 cell of $639,270 is about 5.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.9% ($11,947,579) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Atty hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Atty donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string ATTY. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $639,270 from 182 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Atty 2010 join?

Open Atty 2010 for the cycle overlay, Atty for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
