Editor contributions received by ACTBLUE

$3,004,650 in itemized individual contributions is the join between occupation EDITOR and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 64,637 contributions on FEC.gov. The occupation grouping totals $12,055,499 ($12.1 million) across all recipients, so this committee is 24.9% of that labeled money. This page is the occupation-and-committee match, not a masthead census, a newsroom payroll, or a publisher PAC.

Key figures

  • ActBlue received $3,004,650 from Editor-coded individual gifts across 64,637 contributions.
  • The Editor occupation grouping totals $12,055,499, so this committee is 24.9% of that labeled money.
  • About $46 per contribution is the mean of 64,637 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • The join is an FEC occupation–committee intersection, not corporate treasury spending and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Editor occupation text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

EDITOR is the occupation string as stored. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. FEC.gov does not split book, news, film, or software editors on this aggregate. Matching rows sum to $3,004,650 across 64,637 contributions. The occupation hub is $12,055,499 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Editor. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Tens of thousands of itemized lines at a two-digit mean, with about a quarter of the occupation book on this conduit. Writer, if stored, is a sibling key rather than a parent. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed EDITOR; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

Writer, Journalist, and Copy Editor are other keys if stored separately. Editor holds the occupation-wide $12,055,499. ACTBLUE holds committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Copy Editor and Journalist, if stored, are other keys. Publisher PACs and independent expenditures are other FEC categories.

About a quarter of the Editor grouping

The Editor occupation grouping shows $12,055,499 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $3,004,650, or 24.9% of that total. The remaining $9,050,849 (75.1%) went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Editor keeps the $12,055,499 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a masthead census, a newsroom payroll, or a publisher PAC.

A mid-count ActBlue cell under Editor

ACTBLUE received $3,004,650 from Editor-coded receipts across 64,637 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $46 per contribution. 64,637 lines are not 64,637 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $3,004,650 total. Copy Editor and Journalist, if stored, are other keys. Publisher PACs and independent expenditures are other FEC categories.

Editor is not a newsroom census

A 24.9% share of Editor-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. A publishing title is not proof of a named outlet. Employer strings on the same receipts are a different grouping. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $3,004,650 as 24.9% of $12,055,499 into C00401224, with 64,637 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 64,637 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. Writer, Journalist, and Copy Editor are other keys if stored separately.

How to cite Editor × C00401224

A complete claim names Editor and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $3,004,650, 64,637 contributions, and 24.9% of $12,055,499, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $9,050,849 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Mean gift $46 is $3,004,650 divided by 64,637 lines. It is not a typical check and not a contribution limit. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $3,004,650 to $12,055,499. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages.
