Businessman political money in the 2014 election cycle

Businessman meeting the 2014 election cycle

2014 is a midterm federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Businessman occupation grouping with that year produces $4,617,670, 1,595 lines, and 458 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $34,277,492 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $10,082 per donor ($4,617,670 ÷ 458) and about $2,895 per contribution ($4,617,670 ÷ 1,595) describe this string in 2014. Lines per donor average about 3.5 (1,595 ÷ 458). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2014 election-cycle hub places Businessman beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $4,617,670 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

13.5% of the Businessman all-cycle grouping

13.5% is $4,617,670 divided by $34,277,492. The leftover $29,659,822 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 13.5% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Midterm solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 1,595 lines still describe only receipts tagged Businessman in 2014. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 13.5% as proof that 2014 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Businessman is a gendered filer label

BUSINESSMAN is filer-entered occupation text. It is not the same key as BUSINESS OWNER. FEC.gov does not merge gendered and gender-neutral labels. BUSINESSWOMAN, if indexed, is another row. A person who typed the company legal name is usually on an industry hub.

This page does not recode the label into a firm census or a gender analysis. The packet supplies dollars, lines, and donor keys for this spelling. The Businessman string is the filter as stored.

What Businessman money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a Chamber PAC and not a count of employer firms. Independent expenditures about tax or labor bills are other FEC objects. SBA awards are USAspending objects.

This join does not claim that Businessman-coded gifts funded federal contracts. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet. Do not add Business Owner dollars to this cell.

Pages that keep Businessman and 2014 apart

The Businessman occupation page holds $34,277,492 and other years. The 2014 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Businessman and 2014 — whenever $4,617,670 is quoted. Cite 1,595 contributions, 458 donors, 13.5% of $34,277,492, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 458 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Businessman × 2014

A complete claim names Businessman and 2014, then $4,617,670, 1,595 contributions, 458 donors, and 13.5% of $34,277,492, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 458-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2014: people who typed Businessman increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $4,617,670 and the 13.5% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $34,277,492 and other cycles.

2014 remains a midterm federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Businessman in 2014: $4,617,670 on 1,595 lines from 458 donors. About $2,895 per line and $10,082 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 1,595 without raising unique people above 458.

Committee-level rows inside the Businessman cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.
