Librarian political money — 2010 cycle
In the 2010 FEC cycle, filers listing occupation LIBRARIAN itemized $164,687 in individual contributions. The cycle filter holds 343 contributions and 191 donors. The Librarian occupation total across cycles is $8,907,436 ($8.9 million). 2010 is a thin slice of Librarian occupation dollars: 1.8% ($164,687 of $8,907,436). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. This page is an occupation-and-cycle join, not a restatement of one hub.
Key figures
- $164,687 joins the Librarian occupation string to the 2010 FEC cycle.
- 343 contributions from 191 donors produced that cell.
- 2010 is about 1.8% of the occupation’s $8,907,436 lifetime total.
- LIBRARIAN is a filer-entered title, not an ALA membership roll.
- FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.
The Librarian × 2010 intersection
Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string LIBRARIAN. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $164,687, built from 343 contributions and 191 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2010 is a midterm FEC window. 343 contributions from 191 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation.
The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. LIBRARIAN is the occupation string. Library director, archivist, and library assistant remain other keys if typed that way. The join does not verify MLS credentials, employer, or public versus academic setting. School, public, and academic librarians can share one typed label. LobbyVault does not recode ARCHIVIST or LIBRARY into this occupation. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $164,687. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.
The Librarian occupation hub behind $8,907,436
Librarian donations is the occupation hub: $8,907,436 ($8.9 million) across cycles from filers who typed LIBRARIAN. Sibling strings (LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST) are not merged here. The occupation total is not an ALA membership roll, a public-library PAC, or a merge with ARCHIVIST.
2010’s $164,687 sits inside $8,907,436. Because 1.8% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2010 is $8,742,749 (98.2%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2010 as the second dimension.
2010 as the cycle side of the Librarian join
The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Librarian. $164,687 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.
343 contributions from 191 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.8 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $480; mean per donor about $862. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $164,687.
Caveats on LIBRARIAN in 2010
Matching Librarian with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Librarian donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an ALA membership roll, a public-library PAC, or a merge with ARCHIVIST.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. LIBRARIAN is the occupation string. Library director, archivist, and library assistant remain other keys if typed that way. The join does not verify MLS credentials, employer, or public versus academic setting. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $164,687 funded USAspending obligations.
Linked Librarian and 2010 tables
Librarian donations holds the $8,907,436 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Librarian. All occupations places LIBRARIAN beside other titles without merging sibling strings (LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $164,687 is not added to a different year.
Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Librarian dollars ($8,907,436). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $164,687, 343 contributions, 191 donors, 1.8% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.
How $164,687 sits under $8,907,436
Subtract $164,687 from $8,907,436 and the residual is $8,742,749 in other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 1.8% in 2010 leaves 98.2% of Librarian dollars outside this page.
Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2010 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $8,907,436 series.
Questions
- How much did Librarian-labeled donors give in 2010?
- The Librarian grouping’s 2010 cell is $164,687 in itemized individual contributions, from 343 contributions and 191 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $8,907,436 all-cycle occupation total.
- Are these licensed or MLS-credentialed librarians only?
- Not necessarily. LIBRARIAN is the occupation string as typed. FEC aggregates do not encode degrees or library type. The 2010 cycle filter on Librarian is $164,687, 343 contributions, and 191 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $8,907,436. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.
- What share of Librarian FEC money fell in 2010?
- About 1.8%. $164,687 divided by $8,907,436 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 98.2% ($8,742,749) on the occupation hub. See the Librarian occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.
- Does Librarian 2010 money fund federal awards?
- 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. $164,687 is itemized receipts tagged LIBRARIAN in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
