General Partner political money in the 2014 FEC cycle

How the General Partner × 2014 join is built

LobbyVault intersects self-reported occupation with FEC two-year cycle. For GENERAL PARTNER in 2014, the dollar cell is $1,449,816. The line cell is 136 contributions. The person cell is 62 donors. Those three figures describe one filter applied to FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. They are not three independent studies, and they are not a fourth total created by adding the occupation hub to the cycle hub.

The occupation hub General Partner donations still holds $9,486,497 across the extract. The cycle hub 2014 election cycle covers every occupation in 2014, not only General Partner. This ties page exists because a reader asked for both filters at once. All FEC ties is the directory of those intersections. All occupations remains the inventory of other strings that were not recoded into GENERAL PARTNER.

The General Partner occupation total on this extract

The occupation-wide total for GENERAL PARTNER on this extract is $9,486,497 ($9.5 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2014. $1,449,816 is the 2014 slice (15.3%). GENERAL PARTNER is a partnership title as typed. It is not a census of private-equity or venture general partners, and it is not merged with PARTNER, MANAGING PARTNER, or GP. The join does not infer a fund, a carry schedule, or an SEC filing from the title.

Do not treat $9,486,497 as a labor-market size. It is disclosed itemized receipts whose occupation field matched GENERAL PARTNER. People who never itemized, who used another spelling, or who left occupation blank are outside $9,486,497. The 2014 cell is a further filter on that already-narrow set. Open General Partner donations for names and committees on the occupation hub rather than inventing a workforce count from 62.

What the 2014 FEC cycle covers on this join

The 2014 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2014 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, General Partner accounts for $1,449,816 on 136 contributions from 62 donors.

The cycle hub 2014 election cycle includes every occupation string, including labels that are not GENERAL PARTNER. This page is the General Partner subset of that hub. Adding this cell to other occupation–2014 cells would rebuild a cycle total only if every occupation key were included — which this packet does not list. Do not treat $1,449,816 as a share of all 2014 receipts; that denominator is not in the facts.

Contribution rows versus unique General Partner donors in 2014

136 contributions and 62 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 136 divided by 62 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,449,816 divided by 62 is about $23,384 per donor; $1,449,816 divided by 136 is about $10,660 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Name matching can split one person into two donor keys or merge two people into one. 62 is therefore an index count, not a guaranteed civil roster of General Partner workers. Do not convert 62 into an employment statistic. Do not convert $23,384 into a statement about what a typical General Partner contributed in 2014.

What this General Partner–2014 page is not

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that General Partner as a profession acted in concert in 2014.

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Typos, abbreviations, and bilingual titles all create extra keys. GENERAL PARTNER is a partnership title as typed. It is not a census of private-equity or venture general partners, and it is not merged with PARTNER, MANAGING PARTNER, or GP. The join does not infer a fund, a carry schedule, or an SEC filing from the title. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. For the live occupation table use General Partner donations; for the live cycle table use 2014 election cycle; for peer strings use all occupations; for other joins use all FEC ties.

Questions

How much did General Partner filers give in the 2014 FEC cycle?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation GENERAL PARTNER total $1,449,816 in the 2014 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 136 contributions and 62 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $9,486,497, so 2014 is 15.3% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

Is $1,449,816 the full General Partner occupation total?

No. $1,449,816 is the 2014 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $9,486,497 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of General Partner donations and not a restatement of 2014 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

How many General Partner donors are in the 2014 cell?

The join lists 62 unique donors and 136 contribution lines for GENERAL PARTNER in 2014. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $23,384 per donor and $10,660 per line are means from $1,449,816, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Does General Partner include nearby job titles in 2014?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string GENERAL PARTNER as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See General Partner donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
