Business Representative receipts in the 2014 election cycle

Joining BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE to the 2014 cycle

Business Representative in 2014 is $232,762 on 658 itemized lines from 340 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2014 is a thin slice of Business Representative occupation dollars: 4.1% ($232,762 of $5,630,964). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

658 contributions from 340 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 340 people still used that title after 2014. The packet does not name a local, an employer, or a bargaining unit. This page keeps the typed string and does not recode BUSINESS AGENT into it.

This page is not a restatement of the Business Representative hub or of the 2014 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $232,762.

Reading BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE without merging sibling titles

Filers who typed business representative produced the all-cycle occupation total of $5,630,964. BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE is the two-word title as typed. It can mean a union business agent or another representative role; FEC.gov does not encode which. BUSINESS AGENT and REPRESENTATIVE remain other keys. The occupation is not a union-membership census, an LM-2 independent-expenditure total, or a union PAC.

Reading 2014 without treating it as all Business Representative money

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Business Representative. $232,762 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.

658 contributions from 340 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 1.9 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $354; mean per donor about $685. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $232,762. Three numbers define the Business Representative × 2014 cell: dollars $232,762, contribution rows 658, unique donors 340. Share of occupation dollars is 4.1% of $5,630,964.

How not to read Business Representative money in 2014

Matching Business Representative with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Business Representative donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a union-membership census, an LM-2 independent-expenditure total, or a union PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE is the two-word title as typed. It can mean a union business agent or another representative role; FEC.gov does not encode which. BUSINESS AGENT and REPRESENTATIVE remain other keys. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $232,762 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Business Representative donations hub is $5,630,964; the 2014 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Business Representative and 2014 tables

Business Representative donations holds the $5,630,964 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Business Representative. All occupations places BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE beside other titles without merging sibling strings (UNION REPRESENTATIVE, BUSINESS AGENT, and REPRESENTATIVE). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $232,762 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Business Representative dollars ($5,630,964). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $232,762, 658 contributions, 340 donors, 4.1% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Using the Business Representative 2014 figures in a citation

A usable sentence names both sides: occupation BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE, cycle 2014, $232,762 itemized, 658 contributions, 340 donors, source FEC.gov. Do not round $232,762 into a second invented extract.

Do not cite $5,630,964 as the 2014 figure. $5,630,964 is all-cycle Business Representative. Do not cite a cycle-wide total from this page; $232,762 is Business Representative only.
