Owner and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Owner crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Owner and 2010 — sum to $326,727. 395 itemized contributions and 168 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. OWNER is a short, common self-description on FEC forms. The 2010 filter does not name the business, the industry, or the share owned. It only keeps receipts whose grouped field matches this string in that cycle.

Neither the Owner hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Owner hub is the year index for this string. BUSINESS OWNER, OWNER/OPERATOR, and PRESIDENT stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal small-business awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

3.9% of the Owner roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8.4 million ($8,415,493). The 2010 slice of $326,727 is about 3.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.1%. Treating 2010 as the Owner FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,415,493 as the denominator for the 3.9% 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 $8,415,493.

395 contributions from 168 donors

Dividing $326,727 by 395 contributions yields about $827 per itemized gift. Dividing by 168 donors yields about $1,945 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

168 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 Owner 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Owner 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 Owner to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $326,727 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 395 contributions, the 168 unique donors, and the 3.9% share of $8,415,493.

Limits of the Owner × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $326,727. 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 a small-business census and not an ownership PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 168 donors, and 395 contributions. BUSINESS OWNER, OWNER/OPERATOR, SELF EMPLOYED, and PRESIDENT are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Owner and 2010 together

Start with $326,727, then Owner 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Owner, 2010, $326,727, 395 contributions, 168 donors, 3.9% of $8,415,493, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 3.9% share, the 168-donor count, and the $827 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.

Questions

How much did Owner donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $326,727 in itemized individual contributions for the Owner grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 395 contributions and 168 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,415,493 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote packet facts only.

What share of Owner FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,415,493. The 2010 cell of $326,727 is about 3.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Owner hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Owner’s PAC or an official account?

No. $326,727 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Owner. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a small-business census and not an ownership PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Owner 2010 join?

Open Owner 2010 for the cycle overlay, Owner for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
