Controller donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

2010 filtered to Controller

Apply the Controller filter to the 2010 election cycle and the remaining money is $431,797. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 475 contributions and 253 donors. The occupation overlay lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Controller is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 253 unique donors matched the stored string in 2010. Repeat gifts can raise 475 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Controller total of $7,491,629 still includes other windows. Citing $7,491,629 as if it were 2010 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2010 hub as if it were Controller-only would overstate the year. CONTROLLER in 2010 is a midterm cell. Comptroller is a neighboring spelling and is not merged into this title.

5.8% of the Controller roll

5.8% of stored Controller money is tagged 2010 ($431,797). 94.2% is not ($7,059,832). Both percentages use $7,491,629 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2010 so $7,491,629 is not mistaken for a two-year number. CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer are omitted from both figures.

How 253 donors produced 475 gifts

Contribution count (475) and donor count (253) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $431,797 is their dollar sum. This is a mid-size cell.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 253 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract.

Dropping the Controller filter

Dropping the Controller filter returns the reader to the 2010 election cycle index. That index is not $431,797. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 475 contributions, 253 donors, $431,797.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Controller cannot be ranked as a percent of 2010 national itemized giving. 5.8% remains a share of $7,491,629 only.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

This join refuses several claims: that $431,797 bought federal contracts; that 5.8% measures political intensity; that 253 donors are a workforce; that CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer belong in this cell. Each refused claim would require a table that is not in the packet.

Using the Controller and 2010 hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-cycle questions for CONTROLLER. The 2010 hub answers every-occupation questions for that window. This tie answers the both-filters question: $431,797, 475 receipts, 253 donors, 5.8% of $7,491,629.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Controller donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation CONTROLLER ∩ cycle 2010 = $431,797 itemized individual contributions, 475 receipts, 253 donors, 5.8% of $7,491,629. Neighbors remain CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer. Unpublished split: corporate controller versus government comptroller versus nonprofit controller. Not recoded into an AICPA controller census, a municipal comptroller roster, or a finance-department payroll. Source remains FEC.gov. CONTROLLER in 2010 is a midterm cell. Comptroller is a neighboring spelling and is not merged into this title.

Itemized is the receipt class. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee-to-committee transfers sit outside $431,797. 253 unique donors are contributor keys, not a named roster. 475 is a line count. Mean gift $909 and mean per donor $1,707 stay arithmetic on packet integers.

All occupations is the directory for CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer. All FEC ties is the directory for other occupation-cycle cells. Controller donations holds $7,491,629 without the 2010 filter. The 2010 election cycle holds every occupation for that window. Only this URL holds both filters at $431,797.
