Musician occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Musician as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation MUSICIAN and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $382,647 ($382,647), 444 contributions, and 185 donors. 2.5% of Musician occupation dollars ($15,245,521) fall in 2014. 2014 is a small share of a large MUSICIAN bucket: 444 receipts from 185 donors against an occupation total above fifteen million.

Musician is a one-word performing-arts title as typed. Nearby strings — ARTIST, SINGER, COMPOSER, and ENTERTAINER — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $382,647 or $15,245,521. Singer, Composer, and Entertainer remain other keys; this page does not recode them into MUSICIAN. The FEC file does not verify union cards, publishing credits, or a performance schedule.

The MUSICIAN string across cycles

On the occupation side, $15,245,521 ($15.2 million) is the Musician total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 2.5% of that roll; the remaining $14,862,874 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Musician is not a BMI/ASCAP extract and not a touring-schedule census. Musician is not a union roster, a Billboard ranking, or a recording-academy membership file.

Open Musician donations for the $15,245,521 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, 444 itemized contributions map to 185 donors. That is about 2.4 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 $862; dollars per donor average about $2,068. 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 Musician row. 185 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $382,647.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $382,647 attached to 2014 and $15,245,521 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 ($14,862,874) 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 $382,647 with both nouns: Musician and 2014.

What a Musician cycle join cannot claim

Matching Musician with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Musician donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a union roster, a Billboard ranking, or a recording-academy membership file.

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 $382,647. 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 musician hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Musician donations holds the $15,245,521 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Musician. All occupations places MUSICIAN beside other titles without merging sibling strings (ARTIST, SINGER, COMPOSER, and ENTERTAINER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $382,647 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Musician dollars ($15,245,521). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $382,647, 444 contributions, 185 donors, 2.5% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $382,647; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $15,245,521. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Musician-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Musician grouping’s 2014 cell is $382,647 in itemized individual contributions, from 444 contributions and 185 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $15,245,521 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Musician include singers and composers?

This join uses the string MUSICIAN only. Singer, Composer, Artist, and Entertainer are other occupation keys if filers used those words. The FEC file does not recode them into MUSICIAN or confirm a recording credit or a union card. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Musician in 2014 is $382,647 on 444 receipts from 185 donors.

What share of Musician FEC money fell in 2014?

About 2.5%. $382,647 divided by $15,245,521 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $14,862,874 on the occupation hub. See the Musician occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Musician 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. $382,647 is itemized receipts tagged MUSICIAN in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
