Lawyer occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Lawyer as occupation, 2010 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string LAWYER. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $4,070,476, built from 5,096 contributions and 2,471 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Five thousand-plus 2010 gifts against a $105 million occupation stack is a small-share midterm chapter. The occupation hub holds the rest of the Lawyer-coded dollars in other cycles.

Average contribution is about $799; average per donor is about $1,647. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.1 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

LAWYER is not ATTORNEY on this table

LAWYER is one legal-title string. ATTORNEY and ATTORNEY AT LAW are other occupation hubs if the pipeline stored them separately. The FEC does not check bar numbers. Partners, associates, and people using a household title can share the same cell.

$105,321,940 is every cycle combined for LAWYER. $4,070,476 in 2010 is about 3.9% of that stack. Other windows hold about 96.1% ($101,251,464). A cycle cell at 3.9% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, and COUNSEL are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

2,471 donors and 5,096 gifts in 2010

2,471 unique donors against 5,096 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2010 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $4,070,476.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode LAWYER into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2010 cycle hub.

About 3.9% of a $105.3 million occupation stack

3.9% is $4,070,476 divided by $105,321,940. Reading only 2010 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 3.9%. The leftover outside 2010 is $101,251,464. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2010 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $105,321,940 is shared.

What a Lawyer–2010 join cannot claim

This page does not rank lawyers as a political bloc and does not split the cell by practice area. Firm names belong on employer tables. Recipients belong on the occupation and cycle hubs.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $4,070,476, 5,096 contributions, and 2,471 donors for Lawyer in 2010. Cite $105,321,940 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Lawyer and 2010 tables

Lawyer donations is the occupation hub behind $105,321,940. The 2010 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $4,070,476, 5,096 gifts, or 2,471 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string LAWYER attached to $4,070,476 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2010. Keep 5,096 contributions and 2,471 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Lawyer in 2010 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $105,321,940 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Lawyer-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Lawyer grouping’s 2010 cell is $4,070,476 in itemized individual contributions, from 5,096 contributions and 2,471 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $105,321,940 all-cycle occupation total.

Is ATTORNEY included in this Lawyer total?

No. This cell is the self-reported string LAWYER matched to cycle 2010. ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, and COUNSEL are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Lawyer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Lawyer FEC money fell in 2010?

About 3.9%. $4,070,476 divided by $105,321,940 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 96.1% ($101,251,464) on the occupation hub. See the Lawyer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Does this count licensed attorneys only?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $4,070,476 is itemized receipts tagged LAWYER in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
