General Counsel political money in the 2014 cycle

General Counsel as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation GENERAL COUNSEL and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $736,493, 752 contributions, and 313 donors. GENERAL COUNSEL is an in-house legal title. People who typed Attorney or Lawyer are other rows. FEC.gov does not confirm bar admission. The occupation hub is $16,811,333 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 4.4% ($736,493 of $16,811,333). The remainder, $16,074,840, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 752 lines from 313 donors with about 2.4 gifts per person is a mid-scale legal-title cell in a midterm cycle. 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 $736,493.

The General Counsel string across every cycle

$16,811,333 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Attorney, Lawyer, and Counsel are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $16,811,333 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open General Counsel donations for the $16,811,333 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. This page is not legal advice and not a ranking of law-firm political spending.

313 donors and a four-figure mean per person

Dividing $736,493 by 752 contributions yields about $979 per gift. Dividing by 313 donors yields about $2,353 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.4 (752 ÷ 313). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

313 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 313 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 4.4% of General Counsel dollars is not

A 4.4% share of General Counsel-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 $736,493 as itemized individual receipts tagged GENERAL COUNSEL in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite General Counsel × 2014

A complete claim names General Counsel and 2014, then $736,493, 752 contributions, 313 donors, and 4.4% of $16,811,333, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 313 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—General Counsel and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $979 and mean per donor $2,353 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and Attorney as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $16,074,840 outside 2014. Most of the $16,811,333 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. Attorney, Lawyer, and Counsel are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of GENERAL COUNSEL on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.4. That ratio is 752 divided by 313, not a measure of turnout.
