Business Executive political money — 2014 cycle

Business Executive as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $725,406, 551 contributions, and 269 donors. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE in 2014 is the same stored string as the 2010 cell, cut to a different two-year window. The occupation hub is $13,233,638 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 5.5% ($725,406 of $13,233,638). The remainder, $12,508,232, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 551 lines from 269 donors is a similar mid-scale shape to 2010, still only 5.5% of the all-cycle executive-title roll. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $725,406.

The same occupation roll, a different midterm window

$13,233,638 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Executive, CEO, and Business Owner are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $13,233,638 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Business Executive donations for the $13,233,638 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Do not add another cycle’s Business Executive cell to this 2014 total. Each cycle join is its own packet.

269 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $725,406 by 551 contributions yields about $1,317 per gift. Dividing by 269 donors yields about $2,697 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (551 ÷ 269). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

269 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 269 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 5.5% of Business Executive dollars is not

A 5.5% share of Business Executive-coded dollars from 2014 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $725,406 as itemized individual receipts tagged BUSINESS EXECUTIVE in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Business Executive × 2014

A complete claim names Business Executive and 2014, then $725,406, 551 contributions, 269 donors, and 5.5% of $13,233,638, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 269 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Business Executive and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,317 and mean per donor $2,697 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and the 2010 sibling join

The occupation hub still holds $12,508,232 outside 2014. Most of the $13,233,638 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Executive, CEO, and Business Owner are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of BUSINESS EXECUTIVE on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.0. That ratio is 551 divided by 269, not a measure of turnout.
