Koch Industries and the 2014 FEC election cycle

The intersection, not the Koch Industries hub

The overlay path for Koch Industries 2014 is where disclosed names become visible. This JSON is a snapshot of grouped totals. Koch Industries × 2014 totals $344,394 from 40 donors and 162 lines, 8.79% of the $3,916,660 parent. Forty unique donors are not a headcount of Koch Industries employees. Cycle 2014 is a midterm clock, not 2012. Do not invent donor names from the Koch Industries label.

2014 is a midterm FEC two-year window. The packet does not split the two calendar years inside that clock. The Koch Industries 2014 overlay lists the disclosed names and recipient committees.

Share of the Koch Industries grouping

Campaign contributions grouped to KOCH INDUSTRIES are not USAspending awards. This join does not claim that $344,394 funded contracts, grants, or research.

Do not add Koch Industries cells from other cycles into $344,394. Each /ties/ URL is one employer string × one cycle.

Why 2014 is not a calendar of invoices

FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2014. Inside that clock, Koch Industries is one employer/occupation grouping among many. The 2014 election cycle hub shows other strings in the same window. This page keeps Koch Industries and 2014 named together so neither hub is mistaken for the join. 162 contributions and 40 donors are counts on itemized receipts grouped to KOCH INDUSTRIES in that window, not a workforce census.

KOCH INDUSTRIES is grouped employer text, not Koch Industries, Inc. writing a treasury check. KOCH, KOCH INDUSTRIES INC, and affiliate spellings can be other keys. The Koch Industries 2014 overlay is the overlay. The Koch Industries industry page is the parent grouping. The 2014 election cycle page is the cycle census. All FEC ties lists other joins.

Names stay on the overlay

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $344,394 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.

Unitemized gifts and corporate treasury schedules are outside $344,394. LobbyVault does not treat 40 unique donors as a headcount of everyone associated with KOCH INDUSTRIES in 2014. Mean gift size near $2,126 and mean per donor near $8,610 are ratios on this midterm cell. They are not a 10-K political-activity line. Generic strings can mix many legal employers. Named-firm strings can still miss affiliates that stored another spelling.

Keep both join sides in every citation of the headline total. This /ties/ page is a snapshot of packet facts, not a substitute for live FEC.gov bulk files. Amended reports can move either side of the join; the newer extract controls. Internal links stay on the packet hrefs only. Unitemized activity and independent expenditures remain outside these totals.

If a later extract revises KOCH INDUSTRIES or cycle 2014, replace this snapshot. Do not average old and new totals.

Koch Industries × 2014 is a join page. Quote $344,394 only with both sides named.

Sibling keys mentioned as possibilities are not totals on this page. FEC.gov bulk files remain the underlying source; LobbyVault publishes grouped aggregates. Koch Industries × 2014 totals $344,394 from 40 donors and 162 lines, 8.79% of the $3,916,660 parent. Forty unique donors are not a headcount of Koch Industries employees. Cycle 2014 is a midterm clock, not 2012.
