Insurance agent donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Insurance agent × 2014

INSURANCE AGENT plus cycle 2014 equals $1,806,173. That is not the Insurance page and not the Insurance Broker page. Treasurers who dropped the word agent produced a different key.

Parent hubs: Insurance Agent donations and the 2014 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the two-word title as its own occupation-cycle cell.

The occupation hub for Insurance Agent lists $25.3 million ($25,280,335) under the exact string INSURANCE AGENT. The 2014 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2014, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Insurance Agent in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.8 million. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

Title length splits the money

$25.3 million ($25,280,335) belongs to INSURANCE AGENT. The one-word Insurance occupation is a different rollup. This page does not add them, because the extract did not merge them.

7.1% of the agent-title bucket fell in 2014. Other cycle amounts are not listed here.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,806,173. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $25,280,335. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Insurance Agent donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,806,173. If a later harvest revises 2,890 or 1,451, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($25,280,335) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

A high-line 2014 file

1,451 donors and 2,890 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor — is a busy midterm cell. Mean per receipt about $625; mean per donor about $1,245. Busy means many itemized rows, not proof of small-dollar giving.

Independent-agency versus captive-agent is an industry distinction this occupation string does not encode. $1.8 million follows the two words on the form.

2,890 is a receipt count. 1,451 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.8 million.

Keep agent, broker, and insurance apart

Cite $1,806,173 as Insurance Agent in 2014. Cite $25,280,335 as this two-word occupation total. Adding Insurance or Insurance Broker would mix keys the FEC file kept separate.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists the neighboring insurance titles.

Dividing $1,806,173 by 2,890 receipts yields about $625 per line. Dividing by 1,451 donors yields about $1,245 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Not a producer-license census

LobbyVault does not match state producer licenses. An unlicensed filer who typed Insurance Agent is in $1.8 million; a licensed agent who typed Insurance is not.

No ranking of carriers, no party split, no claim about insurance legislation. 2,890 receipts and 1,451 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode INSURANCE AGENT into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
