Lawyer contributions received by ACTBLUE

$20,597,325 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the occupation LAWYER and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 282,717 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The occupation grouping totals $105,321,940 across all recipients, so this committee is 19.6% of that labeled money. This page is the occupation-and-committee match, not a bar-association census, a law-firm PAC, or independent expenditures.

Key figures

  • ActBlue received $20,597,325 from Lawyer-coded individual gifts across 282,717 contributions.
  • The Lawyer occupation grouping totals $105,321,940, so this committee is 19.6% of that labeled money.
  • About $73 per contribution is the mean of 282,717 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • The join is an FEC occupation–committee intersection, not corporate treasury spending and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Lawyer occupation text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

LAWYER is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. Attorney and Counsel are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $20,597,325 across 282,717 contributions. The occupation hub is $105,321,940 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Lawyer. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Hundreds of thousands of lines through a conduit, with a two-digit mean, is a high-volume occupation–committee join. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed LAWYER; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

About one-fifth of the Lawyer grouping

The Lawyer occupation grouping shows $105,321,940 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $20,597,325, or 19.6% of that total. The remaining $84,724,615 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Lawyer keeps the $105,321,940 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

282,717 contributions and a small mean

ACTBLUE received $20,597,325 from Lawyer-coded receipts across 282,717 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $73 per contribution. 282,717 lines are not 282,717 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $20,597,325 total.

Legal titles versus federal spending and firm PACs

A 19.6% share of Lawyer-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $20,597,325 as 19.6% of $105,321,940 into C00401224, with 282,717 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 282,717 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job.

How to cite Lawyer × C00401224

A complete claim names Lawyer and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $20,597,325, 282,717 contributions, and 19.6% of $105,321,940, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $84,724,615 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Occupation hub, ActBlue overlay, and Attorney as a sibling

A bar-association census, a law-firm PAC, or independent expenditures would be a different object. This join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged LAWYER and attributed to C00401224. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $73 is $20,597,325 divided by 282,717 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $84,724,615.

Repeat the four numbers together: $20,597,325 into C00401224, 282,717 contributions, 19.6% of $105,321,940, committee ACTBLUE. That sentence is the join. It is not a company treasury and not a federal award total.

Keep both dimensions in the same sentence whenever these dollars are quoted. The stored join is the unit of evidence. Sibling occupation strings and other committees stay on their own pages. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards remain other government files.
