Electrical Contractor donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Reading $485,425 as an intersection

$485,425 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Electrical Contractor (ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR). The cycle filter is 2010. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 534 lines, and the 292 donors.

Because the grouping is typed, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate. Electrician, contractor, electrical, and master electrician are other keys.

Use the occupation hub when the question is every cycle for Electrical Contractor. Use the 2010 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR is a trade-and-title string. Electrician without contractor is a neighboring key and is not folded into this cell.

Lifetime Electrical Contractor money versus 2010

Divide $485,425 by $6,243,964 and the result is 7.8%. The complementary share is 92.2%, or $5,758,539 outside 2010. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$6,243,964 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR in any cycle in this table. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR is a trade-and-title string. Electrician without contractor is a neighboring key and is not folded into this cell.

$909 per contribution, $1,662 per donor

Per-gift mean $909 and per-donor mean $1,662 follow from $485,425, 534, and 292. About 1.8 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR as occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR is a trade-and-title string. Electrician without contractor is a neighboring key and is not folded into this cell.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2010 and FEC cycle 2010 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $485,425. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Electrical Contractor remains one grouping among many on the 2010 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. All occupations lists neighboring titles such as electrician, contractor, electrical, and master electrician.

Limits of the Electrical Contractor string

The string ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR is only as wide as the characters stored. Longer titles that contain extra words are other keys. Shorter abbreviations are other keys. A state electrical-license board roster, an IBEW membership file, or a NAICS construction rollup would require a different extract.

Contractor-association and building-trades PAC filings are committee reports. Individual contributions tagged Electrical Contractor in 2010 remain $485,425. Mixing the two would blend FEC tables. All occupations is the index of neighboring strings.
