Dealer occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Dealer as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation DEALER and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $934,197, 834 contributions, and 441 donors. DEALER in 2014 uses the same one-word key as the 2012 Dealer join, with a different cycle total and donor count. The occupation hub is $8,293,611 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 11.3% ($934,197 of $8,293,611). The remainder, $7,359,414, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale trade-title cell in a midterm window. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $934,197.

The same DEALER roll, a different two-year clock

$8,293,611 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Auto Dealer, Car Dealer, and Sales are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $8,293,611 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Dealer donations for the $8,293,611 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

441 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $934,197 by 834 contributions yields about $1,120 per gift. Dividing by 441 donors yields about $2,118 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.9 (834 ÷ 441). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

441 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 441 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell. Do not add the 2012 Dealer cell to this 2014 figure. Each cycle is a separate join against the same occupation total.

What Dealer dollars in 2014 are not

A 11.3% share of Dealer-coded dollars from 2014 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $934,197 as itemized individual receipts tagged DEALER in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Dealer × 2014

A complete claim names Dealer and 2014, then $934,197, 834 contributions, 441 donors, and 11.3% of $8,293,611, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 441 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Dealer and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,120 and mean per donor $2,118 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and the 2012 Dealer cell

The occupation hub still holds $7,359,414 outside 2014. Most of the $8,293,611 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Auto Dealer, Car Dealer, and Sales are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of DEALER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 1.9. That ratio is 834 divided by 441, not a measure of turnout.

Questions
