Owner political money — 2014 cycle
Donors listing Owner reported $361,507 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 358 contributions from 151 unique donors. The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,415,493; the 2014 slice is about 4.3% of that running sum. The key is filer-entered employer or occupation text, not a PAC disbursement table.
Key figures
- Owner × 2014 is $361,507 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 358 contributions from 151 donors.
- 2014 is about 4.3% of the grouping’s $8,415,493 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text (OWNER), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Owner as stored text, 2014 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Owner (OWNER) and 2014 — sum to $361,507. 358 itemized contributions and 151 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.
Neither the Owner hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. OWNER is an occupation-style grouping, not a named firm and not a verified census of business owners. OWNER/OPERATOR, BUSINESS OWNER, and HOMEOWNER are other keys if filers typed them. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that calendar label does not explain the cell. Do not treat OWNER as a NAICS sector. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $361,507. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.
4.3% of the Owner roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,415,493 ($8.4 million). The 2014 slice of $361,507 is about 4.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.7% ($8,053,986). Treating 2014 as the Owner FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $8,415,493 as the denominator for the 4.3% 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 2014 from being folded silently into $8,415,493.
358 contributions from 151 donors
Dividing $361,507 by 358 contributions yields about $1,010 per itemized gift. Dividing by 151 donors yields about $2,394 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.
151 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, members, or licensees. 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 2014 holds the rows. This packet does not publish donor names; do not invent them.
2014 as the cycle dimension
The 2014 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 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Owner to drop the year. 2014 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $361,507.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $361,507 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 358 contributions, the 151 unique donors, and the 4.3% share of $8,415,493.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $361,507. 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. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending obligations. Do not add $361,507 to federal spending figures.
Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 151 donors, and 358 contributions. OWNER is an occupation-style grouping, not a named firm and not a verified census of business owners. OWNER/OPERATOR, BUSINESS OWNER, and HOMEOWNER are other keys if filers typed them. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that calendar label does not explain the cell. Do not treat OWNER as a NAICS sector. Cite the exact stored string OWNER crossed with 2014. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
Citing Owner and 2014 together
Start with $361,507, then Owner 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Owner, 2014, $361,507, 358 contributions, 151 donors, 4.3% of $8,415,493, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string OWNER.
The 4.3% share, the 151-donor count, and the $1,010 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.
A searcher who only opens the Owner hub will see $8,415,493 without the 2014 split; a searcher who only opens 2014 will see every employer in that window. This page is the overlap.
Questions
- How much did Owner donors give in 2014?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $361,507 in itemized individual contributions for the Owner grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 358 contributions and 151 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,415,493 all-cycle figure. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
- What share of Owner FEC money is 2014?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,415,493. The 2014 cell of $361,507 is about 4.3% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.7% ($8,053,986) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Owner hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Is $361,507 the Owner PAC total for 2014?
- No. $361,507 is itemized individual contributions whose employer or occupation field grouped to Owner (OWNER) in the 2014 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 358 contributions came from 151 donors. Do not invent those names from the grouping label.
- Where is the overlay for the Owner 2014 join?
- Open Owner 2014 for the cycle overlay, Owner for the grouping hub, and the 2014 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. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.
