Investments political contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle

Joining INVESTMENTS to the 2014 cycle

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation INVESTMENTS and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $2,403,330 ($2.4 million), 1,272 contributions, and 617 donors. 5.3% of Investments occupation dollars ($45,362,830) fall in 2014.

The 2014 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a midterm-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add 2012 presidential-year dollars into the 2014 total. INVESTMENTS is a noun used as an occupation. INVESTOR and INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT remain separate keys. The string is not a statement of portfolio size. LobbyVault does not recode those sibling titles into this page.

Reading INVESTMENTS without merging sibling titles

On the occupation side, $45,362,830 is the Investments total across cycles. Sibling labels (INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and PRIVATE EQUITY) stay on other pages. Investments is not a household-investments AUM total, a brokerage PAC, or a merge with INVESTOR.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $45,362,830. The Investments donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $2,403,330 is a slice of.

Reading 2014 without treating it as all Investments money

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Investments. $2,403,330 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. It is not a 2012 presidential-year filter or a 2010 midterm-year filter.

1,272 contributions from 617 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,403,330, 1,272, and 617 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,403,330. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,403,330. Three numbers define the Investments × 2014 cell: dollars $2,403,330, contribution rows 1,272, unique donors 617. Share of occupation dollars is 5.3% of $45,362,830.

How not to read Investments money in 2014

Matching Investments with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Investments donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a household-investments AUM total, a brokerage PAC, or a merge with INVESTOR.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTMENTS is a noun used as an occupation. INVESTOR and INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT remain separate keys. The string is not a statement of portfolio size. LobbyVault does not recode those sibling titles into this page. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Investments donations hub is $45,362,830; the 2014 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Investments and 2014 pages

Investments donations holds the $45,362,830 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Investments. All occupations places INVESTMENTS beside other titles without merging sibling strings (INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and PRIVATE EQUITY). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,403,330 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Investments dollars ($45,362,830). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,403,330, 1,272 contributions, 617 donors, 5.3% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Investments donations, the 2014 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep INVESTMENTS as the occupation key and 2014 as the cycle key when joining files. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if a later extract disagrees with $2,403,330.

Using the Investments 2014 figures in a citation

A usable sentence names both sides: occupation INVESTMENTS, cycle 2014, $2,403,330 itemized, 1,272 contributions, 617 donors, source FEC.gov. $2.4 million is a rounded form of $2,403,330.

Do not cite $45,362,830 as the 2014 figure. $45,362,830 is all-cycle Investments. Do not cite a cycle-wide total from this page; $2,403,330 is Investments only. Sibling strings (INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and PRIVATE EQUITY) remain outside $2,403,330. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,403,330.
