Paralegal political money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Two keys, one cell: Paralegal and 2010

The relationship is a text match plus a two-year tag. Paralegal is the occupation string. 2010 is the FEC cycle. Together they equal $119,493 from 182 contributions and 95 donors. That is the headline number. PARALEGAL in 2010 is $119,493 from 182 receipts and 95 donors, 2.3% of $5,214,690. Legal assistant is a neighboring two-word key, not an alias inside this total.

$5,214,690 is the occupation denominator. 2.3% of it is this window. $5,095,197 (97.7%) is other cycles. The 2010 hub is not a Paralegal page; it holds every other occupation that year.

PARALEGAL across cycles, 2010 in isolation

The occupation hub still holds $5,095,197 outside 2010. Most of the $5,214,690 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year.

Legal assistant, legal secretary, law clerk, and paralegal/secretary are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of PARALEGAL on this page.

Donor keys inside the 2010 cell

95 donor keys produced 182 itemized lines totaling $119,493. This file does not publish names for those keys. The occupation hub and cycle hub are the live tables.

Repeat itemization is why 182 exceeds 95. That gap is expected. It is not evidence of a coordinated program; motive is not a field.

Neighboring titles and other ledgers

Legal assistant, legal secretary, law clerk, and paralegal/secretary can exist as other strings. They are not inside $119,493 unless stored as PARALEGAL. Recoding those titles together is a research choice, not this aggregate.

USAspending obligations that share a calendar year with these gifts remain a different dataset. Do not add award dollars to $119,493.

2010 holds $119,493 of $5,214,690 for this string — about 2.3%. Other cycles hold $5,095,197 (97.7%). Folding those other cycles into a 2010 citation would misstate the record by $5,095,197.

182 itemized contributions from 95 donors produced the cell. Unique donors are contributor keys, not employees counted by HR. This file does not invent names for those 95 identities.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: Paralegal donations for the occupation hub, the 2010 election cycle hub, All occupations, and All FEC ties. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

This snapshot recorded $119,493 from 182 contributions and 95 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system.

The 2010 hub without Paralegal is a different page. The Paralegal hub without 2010 is a different page. Only the overlap is $119,493.

Self-reported occupation text splits across spellings. PARALEGAL is the key used here. Legal assistant, legal secretary, law clerk, and paralegal/secretary are other keys and are not added into $119,493 or $5,214,690.

Sibling strings beside PARALEGAL

Legal assistant, legal secretary, law clerk, and paralegal/secretary remain other occupation pages. Do not add those pages into $119,493 or $5,214,690. Exact string PARALEGAL is the occupation key for this cell and for the lifetime $5,214,690 figure.

The 2010 election cycle hub still contains every other occupation. This file does not copy that list. Paralegal remains one cell: $119,493.

Use All FEC ties to find other two-dimension pages. Use Paralegal donations for other years. This prose stays inside packet facts: $119,493, 182, 95, 2.3% of $5,214,690.

The occupation string PARALEGAL is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class or a NAICS code. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Cycle 2010 is a two-year FEC tag. Itemized receipts from both years of that window sit in $119,493 if they carried this occupation string.

Unique donors in this packet number 95. This file does not publish names for those keys. Repeat gifts explain why contributions (182) exceed donor keys.

Unitemized gifts never enter $119,493. Independent expenditures, committee transfers, and USAspending awards are other tables and other datasets.

Cite both sides of the join whenever the dollars are quoted: occupation PARALEGAL and cycle 2010, then $119,493, source FEC.gov.

All occupations lists sibling titles without summing them into this cell. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Use those indexes to move, not to add dollar figures.

If a later harvest revises the occupation total $5,214,690 or the cycle cell $119,493, the live hubs and FEC.gov control. This JSON is a packet snapshot.
