Entrepreneur political money in the 2014 cycle

Entrepreneur as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation ENTREPRENEUR and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $1,007,790, 647 contributions, and 314 donors. Entrepreneur is a self-applied label. People who typed Founder or Owner sit in other occupation rows. The occupation hub is $39,863,198 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 2.5% ($1,007,790 of $39,863,198). The remainder, $38,855,408, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donors and a 2.5% year share mean 2014 is a modest slice of a large all-cycle occupation total. 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 $1,007,790.

A large all-cycle total with many other years

$39,863,198 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Founder, Owner, and CEO are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $39,863,198 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Entrepreneur donations for the $39,863,198 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.

314 donors and a mid-scale mean gift

Dividing $1,007,790 by 647 contributions yields about $1,558 per gift. Dividing by 314 donors yields about $3,210 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.1 (647 ÷ 314). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

314 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 314 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 2.5% of Entrepreneur dollars is not

A 2.5% share of Entrepreneur-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 $1,007,790 as itemized individual receipts tagged ENTREPRENEUR in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Entrepreneur × 2014

A complete claim names Entrepreneur and 2014, then $1,007,790, 647 contributions, 314 donors, and 2.5% of $39,863,198, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 314 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Entrepreneur and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,558 and mean per donor $3,210 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, cycle hub, and overlapping titles

The occupation hub still holds $38,855,408 outside 2014. Most of the $39,863,198 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. Founder, Owner, and CEO are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of ENTREPRENEUR on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.1. That ratio is 647 divided by 314, not a measure of turnout.

Repeat the four numbers together: $1,007,790 in the 2014 cycle, 647 contributions, 314 donors, and 2.5% of $39,863,198. That sentence is the join. It is not a license census and not a federal award total.
