Government Affairs political money — 2010 cycle

How the Government Affairs and 2010 tables meet

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Government Affairs and 2010 — sum to $405,187. The cell holds 588 itemized contributions and 192 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Government Affairs hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Government Affairs is self-reported advocacy/job-function string. Government relations, lobbyist, and public affairs remain other groupings. Open Government Affairs donations for other cycles, and the 2010 election cycle for other occupation strings.

Dividing $405,187 by 588 contributions yields about $689 per itemized gift. Dividing by 192 donors yields about $2,110 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical salary.

4.8% of stored Government Affairs dollars

2010 holds $405,187 of $8,440,747 — 4.8%. The leftover $8,035,560 is 95.2% of the labeled roll. Those leftover dollars are other cycles, not missing 2010 money.

Share language here is always $405,187 over $8,440,747. It is never $405,187 over all 2010 FEC receipts. No national cycle denominator is in the packet.

Volume: 588 lines, 192 identities

588 itemized contributions from 192 donors produced $405,187. About 3.1 lines per donor is a mean. The packet supplies no median and no largest-gift figure.

Contributor keys can include retirees and household members who reused a workplace or title. 192 is not a labor-force estimate for Government Affairs.

Exclusions around $405,187

Outside $405,187: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC spending, and any federal award table. Inside $405,187: itemized individual receipts matching GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS in cycle 2010.

The page is self-reported advocacy/job-function string, not a lobbying-disclosure total, a registered-lobbyist census, or a firm PAC. Naming those exclusions keeps the join from being read as an association political budget.

Because 2010 is about 4.8% of $8,440,747, most stored Government Affairs money sits outside this window ($8,035,560). The occupation hub is the index for those other cycles.

Volume math uses only three facts: $405,187, 588 contributions, 192 donors. Derived means are $689 per gift and $2,110 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving.
