CFO political contributions in the 2010 FEC cycle

How CFO and 2010 meet in FEC itemized receipts

Occupation CFO and cycle 2010 produce $2,303,495, 2,122 contributions, and 1,159 donors. The occupation nationwide across cycles is $36,233,003. Dollar share for 2010 is 6.4%. 2,122 contributions from 1,159 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. Contribution count is not a headcount of people who hold the job.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. CFO is the abbreviation as entered. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER spelled out is a different key if that is how the filer typed it. The join does not verify that the donor was a sitting chief financial officer in the cycle. The 2010 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a midterm-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2010 dollars. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $2,303,495.

What the CFO label covers

CFO donations is the occupation hub: $36,233,003 across cycles from filers who typed the abbreviation CFO. Sibling strings (CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, FINANCE, and CONTROLLER) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a public-company CFO census, an SEC officer list, or a finance PAC.

2010’s $2,303,495 sits inside $36,233,003. Because 6.4% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the rest of CFO itemization lives in other even-year cycles. Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2010 as the second dimension.

What the 2010 election cycle contributes to CFO

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only CFO. $2,303,495 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. It is not a 2012 presidential-year filter or a 2014 midterm-year filter.

2,122 contributions from 1,159 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,303,495, 2,122, and 1,159 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,303,495. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,303,495. Three numbers define the CFO × 2010 cell: dollars $2,303,495, contribution rows 2,122, unique donors 1,159. Share of occupation dollars is 6.4% of $36,233,003.

Limits of the CFO 2010 occupation-cycle table

Matching CFO with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say CFO donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a public-company CFO census, an SEC officer list, or a finance PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CFO is the abbreviation as entered. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER spelled out is a different key if that is how the filer typed it. The join does not verify that the donor was a sitting chief financial officer in the cycle. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text.

Linked CFO and 2010 pages

CFO donations holds the $36,233,003 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only CFO. All occupations places CFO beside other titles without merging sibling strings (CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, FINANCE, and CONTROLLER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,303,495 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle CFO dollars ($36,233,003). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,303,495, 2,122 contributions, 1,159 donors, 6.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: CFO donations, the 2010 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Repeat gifts inside CFO 2010

2,122 contributions from 1,159 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. Name matching can split or merge people across filings, so 1,159 is an index unique-person count for this pair, not a professional-association census.

2,122 is the row count. $2,303,495 is the dollar count. Neither is a license count. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation labels remain filer-entered.
