Political Consultant and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Political Consultant as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Political Consultant and 2010 — sum to $261,927. 254 itemized contributions and 53 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 Political Consultant hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Political Consultant is a self-reported title, not an LDA registrant list. Fifty-three donors and 254 lines in 2010 are matching identities. People who listed a named firm instead of the title sit on employer pages. The FEC does not certify that the 53 keys were paid campaign vendors that cycle. CONSULTANT, LOBBYIST, CAMPAIGN CONSULTANT, STRATEGIST, and named consulting firms are other keys. This page is the two-word Political Consultant string.

6.1% of the Political Consultant roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,327,768 ($4.3 million). The 2010 slice of $261,927 is about 6.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.9%. Treating 2010 as the Political Consultant FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,327,768 as the denominator for the 6.1% 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 $4,327,768.

254 contributions from 53 donors

Dividing $261,927 by 254 contributions yields about $1,031 per itemized gift. Dividing by 53 donors yields about $4,942 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.8. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

53 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 Political Consultant 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

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

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $261,927 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 254 contributions, the 53 unique donors, and the 6.1% share of $4,327,768.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $261,927. 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 lobbying-disclosure census and not a consultant PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 53 donors, and 254 contributions. CONSULTANT, LOBBYIST, CAMPAIGN CONSULTANT, STRATEGIST, and named consulting firms are other keys. This page is the two-word Political Consultant string. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Political Consultant and 2010 together

Start with $261,927, then Political Consultant 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Political Consultant, 2010, $261,927, 254 contributions, 53 donors, 6.1% of $4,327,768, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 6.1% share, the 53-donor count, and the $1,031 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.
