Cisco Systems and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Why Cisco Systems and 2010 share a page

Cisco Systems pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2010 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $150,969 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged CISCO SYSTEMS in 2010. 159 contributions and 72 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is networking-equipment employer text. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. A cisco pac, a computer-manufacturing naics rollup, or usaspending awards to cisco entities would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $5,443,189 on the industry hub and keep the 2010 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $150,969.

2010 as a slice of $5,443,189

$5,443,189 is the all-cycle total stored for CISCO SYSTEMS. Subtract $150,969 and $5,292,220 remains in other cycles (97.2%). 2010 therefore accounts for about 2.8% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 2.8% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2010 campaign. It is $150,969 divided by $5,443,189. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 2.8% ratio is $150,969 divided by $5,443,189. Other even-year joins for CISCO SYSTEMS are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $5,292,220. Citing 2010 as if it were the Cisco Systems lifetime total would overstate this cell by $5,292,220.

Volume: 159 lines, 72 identities

159 itemized contributions and 72 unique donors sit behind $150,969. Average gift size is about $949; average dollars per donor about $2,097; lines per donor about 2.2. Averages hide skew.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Cisco Systems. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. A mean of $949 per itemized line and $2,097 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 159 contributions remaining larger than 72 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

The two-year 2010 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2010 covers that even-year window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $150,969. This packet does not split those years.

The 2010 hub is the place to see every other employer string that year. This page keeps the Cisco Systems filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2010 giving is claimed. FEC cycle 2010 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $150,969 if they were itemized against CISCO SYSTEMS. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Form text is not a payroll file

FEC employer and occupation fields are typed by filers. CISCO SYSTEMS is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, tribal enrollment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. Cisco Systems here is networking-equipment employer text.

PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $150,969 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $150,969. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail. Cisco Systems as networking-equipment employer text can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $150,969. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

How to quote $150,969

A complete quote names both sides: Cisco Systems and 2010, $150,969, 159 itemized contributions, 72 unique donors, FEC.gov. Add 2.8% of $5,443,189 if the lifetime context matters. Omit any number that is not in those facts.

The overlay Cisco Systems 2010 is for rows. The Cisco Systems hub is for other years. The 2010 election cycle is for other strings. All FEC ties is the join index. Use every one of those hrefs; do not substitute a donor URL. Quote both keys: Cisco Systems and 2010. Quote the dollars: $150,969. Quote the volume: 159 contributions, 72 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them.
