Entrepreneur political money — 2010 cycle

The occupation-and-cycle join for Entrepreneur

Headline number: $595,837. Contribution count: 430. Donor keys: 221. Occupation total: $39,863,198. Remainder outside 2010: $39,267,361. Share of the occupation roll: 1.5%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

Entrepreneur in 2010 is not Entrepreneur in every year and is not 2010 for every occupation. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. 221 donor keys and $595,837 exist only at the intersection. An occupation string does not mean the money funded federal contracts, and it does not mean the title caused the gifts.

ENTREPRENEUR is the self-typed label. Founder and Business Owner are other keys. The packet does not verify that a company exists. FEC.gov stores cycle 2010 as a midterm even-year window. Use that label for dating the receipts, not for ranking Entrepreneur against other titles. Independent expenditures are omitted. USAspending awards are a different statute.

Reading the Entrepreneur occupation denominator

$39,863,198 is the Entrepreneur occupation book in this extract — every cycle harvested for this string. 2010 contributes $595,837 (1.5%). The packet does not split the occupation total by party, and this page does not invent that split.

Entrepreneur pages still include other years. The 2010 hub still includes other occupations. This join keeps both nouns in the sentence: Entrepreneur and 2010. Occupation is the string on the receipt, not a Bureau of Labor Statistics code and not a license class.

What 221 Entrepreneur donors represent

221 is a donor-record count. $595,837 is a dollar sum. $2,696 is their ratio. None of those is a unique-person census of the occupation. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $595,837: independent expenditures, non-individual PAC spending as a separate total, unitemized tables below the itemization threshold, and USAspending obligations. Omitted from the occupation comparison: any occupation other than ENTREPRENEUR, except as context that sibling strings exist.

Entrepreneur’s share of its own occupation roll

1.5% of $39,863,198 is a defined slice. Other cycles hold $39,267,361. Put another way, about 1.5% of Entrepreneur-coded itemized dollars in this aggregate were tagged cycle 2010, and the rest were not. Those percentages are $595,837 divided by $39,863,198 and $39,267,361 divided by $39,863,198. They are not shares of licensed workers, eligible voters, or USAspending.

Dollar share (1.5%) and donor volume (221 keys) are separate facts. This page does not publish a donor-count percentage as a substitute for the dollar share. Do not treat 1.5% as Entrepreneur donors’ share of national itemized giving. Cycle-wide occupation mixes live on the cycle hub.

Using Entrepreneur and 2010 links without mixing statutes

Then send the reader to the live 2010 election cycle page, the Entrepreneur donations hub, all occupations, and all FEC ties. If you need named donors, those are other joins, not this file. This file stays aggregated. No donor names are supplied, and none are added.

Entrepreneur next to other 2010 occupation strings

Other occupation strings in 2010 live on other tie pages. This file does not add their dollars to $595,837. Founder, Business Owner, and Owner are the usual nearby labels. Opening All occupations is the way to find them. Opening All FEC ties is the way to find other occupation-year cells.

Do not invent donor names to illustrate 221 keys. The aggregate is the published object. Named individuals belong on other LobbyVault pages if those pages exist; they are not supplied here.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Entrepreneur, cycle 2010, $595,837 itemized, 430 contributions, 221 donors, 1.5% of $39,863,198. ENTREPRENEUR is the self-typed label. Founder and Business Owner are other keys. The packet does not verify that a company exists. Founder, Business Owner, and Owner stay on other occupation pages. The 2010 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $595,837: treat it as payroll, treat 221 as a workforce census, treat 1.5% as a share of 2010 national receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $1,386 per contribution and $2,696 per donor remain attached to 430 and 221. About 1.9 lines per donor remains 430 divided by 221.

Questions

How many Entrepreneur donors are in the 2010 cell?

221 donor keys sum to $595,837 on 430 contributions. That count is donor keys, not unique licensed workers. The arithmetic mean is about $2,696 per donor and $1,386 per contribution. Independent expenditures are not included. Named donors are not in these facts and are not invented here.

Is $39,863,198 the amount Entrepreneur filers gave in 2010?

No. $39,863,198 is the occupation total across harvested cycles. Entrepreneur’s 2010 cell is $595,837. Other cycles hold $39,267,361. Use the occupation hub for the all-cycle figure and this tie page for the 2010 slice only.

Why does this page exist if occupation and cycle hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Entrepreneur across years ($39,863,198). The cycle hub answers 2010 across occupations. This tie answers only Entrepreneur inside 2010: $595,837, 430 gifts, 221 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $595,837?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not ENTREPRENEUR. Sibling titles such as Founder, Business Owner, and Owner are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-cycle aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Cycle 2010 is a midterm FEC window.
