Controller donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Why Controller and 2014 share a page

Controller pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2014 pages without this string mix every occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $431,311 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged CONTROLLER in 2014. 502 contributions and 251 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is filer-entered. The Commission does not certify that each filer held that title or used a standardized job code. CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer remain other keys. An AICPA controller census, a municipal comptroller roster, or a finance-department payroll would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $7,491,629 on the occupation hub and keep the 2014 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $431,311. CONTROLLER in 2014 is a later midterm cell on the same string. Treasurer and CFO remain neighboring titles.

CONTROLLER in a midterm window

$7,491,629 is the all-cycle total stored for CONTROLLER. Subtract $431,311 and $7,060,318 remains in other cycles (94.2%). 2014 therefore accounts for 5.8% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 5.8% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2014 campaign. It is $431,311 divided by $7,491,629. The occupation hub is where the other windows live. CONTROLLER in 2014 is a later midterm cell on the same string. Treasurer and CFO remain neighboring titles. Neighbors include CFO, comptroller, financial controller, and treasurer.

502 contributions from 251 donors

502 itemized contributions and 251 unique donors sit behind $431,311. Average gift size is about $859; average dollars per donor about $1,718; lines per donor about 2.0. Averages hide skew. 251 donors is a mid-size cell on this table.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Controller. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. CONTROLLER in 2014 is a later midterm cell on the same string. Treasurer and CFO remain neighboring titles.

The two-year 2014 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2014 covers that even-year midterm window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $431,311. This packet does not split those years.

The 2014 hub is the place to see every other occupation string that year. This page keeps the Controller filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2014 giving is claimed.

2014 cell versus neighboring titles and PACs

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $431,311. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not an AICPA controller census, a municipal comptroller roster, or a finance-department payroll.

Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 251 donors, and 502 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citation template for Controller × 2014

Citation template: Controller, 2014, $431,311, 502 contributions, 251 donors, 5.8% of $7,491,629, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string CONTROLLER.

The 5.8% share, the 251-donor count, and the $859 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
