Geologist political money in the 2010 FEC cycle

The occupation–cycle join for GEOLOGIST

$403,680 is the overlap of occupation Geologist and cycle 2010 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. 535 contributions and 261 donors produced that sum. The occupation-side total $9,308,121 is every harvested cycle for GEOLOGIST, not a 2010-only figure restated.

This page is not a restatement of either hub. The occupation hub drops the year. The cycle hub drops the title. The join keeps both. Petroleum geologist, geophysicist, earth scientist, and mining engineer are other occupation keys if stored separately.

Lifetime $9,308,121 versus the 2010 cell

Subtract $403,680 from $9,308,121 and $8,904,441 remains. That remainder lives on the occupation hub. This page isolates 2010 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

Geologist is self-reported earth-science occupation. $9,308,121 is not a professional-association budget. $403,680 is not a PAC disbursement.

What 535 receipts are not

535 is a Schedule A line count. It is not 261 one-time gifts. About 2.0 lines per donor is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window.

People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $403,680. Petroleum geologist, geophysicist, earth scientist, and mining engineer are those nearby spellings when stored separately.

Correlation is not causation

A shared year and a shared occupation word are not a causal chain. $403,680 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that people listed as Geologist directed an election, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record.

Lifetime Geologist storage is $9,308,121. Subtract the 2010 cell and $8,904,441 remains. That remainder is 95.7% of the grouping. 4.3% is the 2010 share.

Contributor identities (261) are not a headcount of a profession. Repeat itemized gifts explain 535 lines from fewer identities. About 2.0 lines per donor is the mean on this packet.

Keeping Geologist 2010 distinct from the hubs

Geologist without 2010 is $9,308,121. 2010 without Geologist is the year hub. Geologist with 2010 is $403,680. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Geologist donations, 2010 election cycle, All occupations, All FEC ties. Anchors stay as supplied in the packet.

Open the 2010 election cycle to see every grouping that year. This file does not copy that list. Geologist remains one cell: $403,680, 535 contributions, 261 donors.

Federal award files can reuse famous names. Those files are not FEC itemized individual contributions. This join does not claim that $403,680 funded contracts or grants.

All occupations and All FEC ties

All occupations is the index of occupation hubs. All FEC ties is the index of two-dimension pages. Neither index adds dollars into $403,680. Use them to move, not to sum.

Geologist donations remains the occupation-side parent. The 2010 election cycle remains the year-side parent. This /ties/ path is the join explanation.

Petroleum geologist, geophysicist, earth scientist, and mining engineer sit on other occupation pages if those words were typed. GEOLOGIST is the only occupation key used here.

The occupation string GEOLOGIST is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2010 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $403,680 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 261. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (535) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $403,680. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation GEOLOGIST and cycle 2010, then $403,680, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

If a later harvest revises the occupation total $9,308,121 or the cycle cell $403,680, the live hubs and FEC.gov control. This JSON is a packet snapshot.

Questions

How much did Geologist-tagged donors give in 2010?

The join records $403,680 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Geologist in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 535 contributions and 261 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $9,308,121, so 2010 is 4.3% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

What fraction of Geologist dollars landed in 2010?

No. 4.3% of stored Geologist dollars is tagged 2010 ($403,680 of $9,308,121). $8,904,441 remains on the occupation hub. That ratio uses packet facts only and is not a ranking of civic engagement. Source: FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.

Does this count every geologist who donated in 2010?

No. The 261 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to GEOLOGIST in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $403,680 on 535 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate. Petroleum geologist, geophysicist, earth scientist, and mining engineer are other keys if stored separately.

Where are the live Geologist and 2010 tables?

Geologist donations carries the $9,308,121 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Geologist beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Geologist × 2010 intersection only.
