Chief of Staff receipts in the 2010 election cycle

Joining CHIEF OF STAFF to the 2010 cycle

Chief of Staff in 2010 is $225,958 on 301 itemized lines from 107 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2010 is a thin slice of Chief of Staff occupation dollars: 3.3% ($225,958 of $6,890,531). 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.

301 contributions from 107 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 107 people still used that title after 2010. The packet does not name a member of Congress, a campaign, or a company. This cell keeps the typed title and does not invent an office.

This page is not a restatement of the Chief of Staff hub or of the 2010 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $225,958.

Reading CHIEF OF STAFF without merging sibling titles

Filers who typed chief of staff produced the all-cycle occupation total of $6,890,531. CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title as typed. It can mean a Hill office, a campaign, or a private-sector staff chief; FEC.gov does not encode which. Deputy chief of staff remains another key if stored separately. The occupation is not a congressional-staff roster, a campaign-payroll file, or a corporate COS census.

Reading 2010 without treating it as all Chief of Staff money

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Chief of Staff. $225,958 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

301 contributions from 107 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.8 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $751; mean per donor about $2,112. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $225,958. Three numbers define the Chief of Staff × 2010 cell: dollars $225,958, contribution rows 301, unique donors 107. Share of occupation dollars is 3.3% of $6,890,531.

How not to read Chief of Staff money in 2010

Matching Chief of Staff with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Chief of Staff donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a congressional-staff roster, a campaign-payroll file, or a corporate COS census.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title as typed. It can mean a Hill office, a campaign, or a private-sector staff chief; FEC.gov does not encode which. Deputy chief of staff remains another key if stored separately. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $225,958 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Chief of Staff and 2010 tables

Chief of Staff donations holds the $6,890,531 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Chief of Staff. All occupations places CHIEF OF STAFF beside other titles without merging sibling strings (CHIEF OF STAFF TO, DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, and COS). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $225,958 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Chief of Staff dollars ($6,890,531). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $225,958, 301 contributions, 107 donors, 3.3% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Using the Chief of Staff 2010 figures in a citation

A usable sentence names both sides: occupation CHIEF OF STAFF, cycle 2010, $225,958 itemized, 301 contributions, 107 donors, source FEC.gov. Do not round $225,958 into a second invented extract.

Do not cite $6,890,531 as the 2010 figure. $6,890,531 is all-cycle Chief of Staff. Do not cite a cycle-wide total from this page; $225,958 is Chief of Staff only.
