Paine Webber and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Paine Webber crossed with 2014

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Paine Webber and 2014 — sum to $473,157. 262 itemized contributions and 69 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. This page joins the employer grouping Paine Webber to cycle 2014; it is not a restatement of either hub alone.

Neither the Paine Webber hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. 69 unique donors and 262 lines in 2014 sit under the stored string PAINE WEBBER. PAINEWEBBER, UBS PAINEWEBBER, UBS, and PAINE WEBBER INC stay on their own keys if filers used them. SEC, Treasury, or other financial-services USAspending rows are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

7.5% of the Paine Webber roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,279,163 ($6.3 million). The 2014 slice of $473,157 is about 7.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.5%, or $5,806,006. Treating 2014 as the Paine Webber FEC story would ignore that remainder. Quote $473,157 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $6,279,163 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Treat $6,279,163 as the denominator for the 7.5% 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 $6,279,163. 7.5% is $473,157 divided by $6,279,163. Rounding to $473,157 and $6.3 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

262 contributions from 69 donors

Dividing $473,157 by 262 contributions yields about $1,806 per itemized gift. Dividing by 69 donors yields about $6,857 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.8. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Paine Webber 2014 holds the rows.

69 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. Unitemized gifts never appear in $473,157. State-office campaigns never enter this cell. A later amendment can restate a large transfer while most of the 262 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the live overlay. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer or occupation for that window. Paine Webber 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 grouping filter and Paine Webber to drop the year. FEC cycle 2014 covers 2013–2014. A gift dated in the odd year and a gift dated in the even year can share the $473,157 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 262 contributions, the 69 unique donors, and the 7.5% share of $6,279,163. Comparing Paine Webber in 2014 to another grouping requires that other grouping’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle.

Limits of the Paine Webber × 2014 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $473,157. SEC, Treasury, or other financial-services USAspending rows are different datasets. Sharing an employer or occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Correlation between a stored string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 69 donors, and 262 contributions.

PAINEWEBBER, UBS PAINEWEBBER, UBS, and PAINE WEBBER INC are other keys if stored separately. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into PAINE WEBBER. The key is not a surviving UBS branch census, not a 1970s wire-house roster, and not a successor-firm PAC. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

Citing Paine Webber and 2014 together

Start with $473,157, then Paine Webber 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Paine Webber, 2014, $473,157, 262 contributions, 69 donors, 7.5% of $6,279,163, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 7.5% share, the 69 donors count, and the $1,806 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling string 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. Do not print a 2014 share of US politics from $473,157. The denominator for 7.5% is $6,279,163, the Paine Webber grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov.
