Member occupation stamp in the 2014 FEC cycle

Donors coded MEMBER accounted for $401,742 ($401,742) in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 306 itemized contributions and 160 donors. Occupation-wide, Member is $7,536,549. 2014 accounts for 5.3% of the Member occupation total ($401,742 of $7,536,549). Most Member-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. LobbyVault joins the occupation table to the cycle table. It does not rank occupations by influence.

Key figures

  • $401,742 joins the Member occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 306 contributions from 160 donors produced that cell.
  • 2014 is about 5.3% of the occupation’s $7,536,549 lifetime total.
  • MEMBER is a filer-entered title, not a secretary-of-state entity file.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Member as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation MEMBER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $401,742 ($401,742), 306 contributions, and 160 donors. 5.3% of Member occupation dollars ($7,536,549) fall in 2014. 2014 is a midterm status-stamp cell with 306 receipts and 160 donors, a thin-donor one-word label rather than an LLC operating-agreement file.

Member is a one-word status-or-ownership stamp as typed. Nearby strings — LLC MEMBER, PARTNER, MANAGING MEMBER, and BOARD MEMBER — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $401,742 or $7,536,549. Board Member and Managing Member, if spelled out, remain other occupation keys. The FEC file does not verify LLC membership, a partnership interest, or a board seat.

The MEMBER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $7,536,549 ($7.5 million) is the Member total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 5.3% of that roll; the remaining $7,134,807 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Member is not a corporate-shareholder list and not a PAC membership roll. Member is not a secretary-of-state entity file, an LLC operating-agreement extract, or a club roster.

Open Member donations for the $7,536,549 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 306 itemized contributions map to 160 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,313; dollars per donor average about $2,511. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Member row. 160 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $401,742.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $401,742 attached to 2014 and $7,536,549 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($7,134,807) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $401,742 with both nouns: Member and 2014.

What a Member cycle join cannot claim

Matching Member with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Member donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a secretary-of-state entity file, an LLC operating-agreement extract, or a club roster.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $401,742. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked Member hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Member donations holds the $7,536,549 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Member. All occupations places MEMBER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (LLC MEMBER, PARTNER, MANAGING MEMBER, and BOARD MEMBER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $401,742 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Member dollars ($7,536,549). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $401,742, 306 contributions, 160 donors, 5.3% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $401,742; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $7,536,549. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Member-labeled donors give in 2014?
The Member grouping’s 2014 cell is $401,742 in itemized individual contributions, from 306 contributions and 160 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $7,536,549 all-cycle occupation total.
Does Member mean an LLC member or a civic-club member?
The stored string is MEMBER with no entity. LLC Member, Managing Member, Partner, and Board Member are other keys if filers spelled them out. This join does not recode those compounds into MEMBER or confirm an ownership interest. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Member in 2014 is $401,742 on 306 receipts from 160 donors.
What share of Member FEC money fell in 2014?
About 5.3%. $401,742 divided by $7,536,549 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $7,134,807 on the occupation hub. See the Member occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
Does Member 2014 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. $401,742 is itemized receipts tagged MEMBER in 2014, 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.
