Morgan Stanley political money — 2010 cycle

Morgan Stanley as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Morgan Stanley and 2010 — sum to $827,563. 704 itemized contributions and 338 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not the company’s PAC. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Morgan Stanley hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Morgan Stanley is an employer string, not a verified employee census and not the firm’s PAC. 338 donors and 704 lines in 2010 matched that employer text. MS, MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, and other bank spellings sit in other keys if filers typed them that way. This page is the stored string MORGAN STANLEY.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Morgan Stanley 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Morgan Stanley 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $827,563, 704 contributions, 338 donors, and 4.4% of $18,776,463.

4.4% of the Morgan Stanley roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $18,776,463. The 2010 slice of $827,563 is about 4.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.6% ($17,948,900). Treating 2010 as the Morgan Stanley FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $18,776,463 as the denominator for the 4.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $18,776,463.

A 4.4% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Morgan Stanley hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Morgan Stanley to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

704 contributions from 338 donors

Dividing $827,563 by 704 contributions yields about $1,176 per itemized gift. Dividing by 338 donors yields about $2,448 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

338 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Morgan Stanley 2010 holds the rows.

704 is a receipt count, not a unique-person census beyond the 338 donor figure already in the packet. A person who gave twice is two lines inside the 704. Unitemized gifts never appear in $827,563.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Morgan Stanley is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Morgan Stanley to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $827,563 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 704 contributions, the 338 unique donors, and the 4.4% share of $18,776,463.

2010 is a midterm federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $827,563. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string MORGAN STANLEY. Cite the two packet dollars — $827,563 for the 2010 slice and $18,776,463 for the Morgan Stanley book — and stop before assigning motive.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $827,563. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not Morgan Stanley PAC disbursements and not a securities NAICS total.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 338 donors, and 704 contributions. MS, MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, and other bank spellings sit in other keys if filers typed them that way. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Do not read $827,563 as proof that Morgan Stanley “drove” the 2010 cycle or that 2010 “drove” the Morgan Stanley book. The join is two fields. If the live hubs disagree with $827,563 or 338 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Citing Morgan Stanley and 2010 together

Start with $827,563, then Morgan Stanley 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Morgan Stanley, 2010, $827,563, 704 contributions, 338 donors, 4.4% of $18,776,463, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string MORGAN STANLEY.

The 4.4% share, the 338-donor count, and the $1,176 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
