Principal occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Principal as occupation, 2010 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string PRINCIPAL. The other is the 2010 federal election cycle. The match is $2,732,639, built from 3,169 contributions and 1,516 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. About 6.3% of the occupation stack in a midterm window sits below the 2014 Principal share of about 9.0%. Three thousand-plus gifts from 1,516 donors is a high-count cell. Repeat giving adds rows without adding people.

Average contribution is about $862; average per donor is about $1,803. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.1 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

The 2010 PRINCIPAL cell is not the 2014 cell

PRINCIPAL in 2010 uses the same ambiguous occupation key as Principal 2014: school administrator, firm partner, or small-business title. The 2014 cell has more dollars and more gifts. Quote 2010 dollars only when the sentence names cycle 2010.

$43,606,592 is every cycle combined for PRINCIPAL. $2,732,639 in 2010 is about 6.3% of that stack. Other windows hold about 93.7% ($40,873,953). A cycle cell at 6.3% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, MANAGING PRINCIPAL, and OWNER are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

1,516 donors and 3,169 gifts in 2010

1,516 unique donors against 3,169 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2010 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $2,732,639.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode PRINCIPAL into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2010 cycle hub.

About 6.3% of a $43.6 million occupation stack

6.3% is $2,732,639 divided by $43,606,592. Reading only 2010 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 6.3%. The leftover outside 2010 is $40,873,953. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2010 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $43,606,592 is shared.

What a Principal–2010 join cannot claim

This page does not identify schools or firms and does not rank principals against teachers. Adding Principal 2014 without labels mixes cycles. Recipients live on the occupation and cycle hubs.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $2,732,639, 3,169 contributions, and 1,516 donors for Principal in 2010. Cite $43,606,592 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Principal and 2010 tables

Principal donations is the occupation hub behind $43,606,592. The 2010 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $2,732,639, 3,169 gifts, or 1,516 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string PRINCIPAL attached to $2,732,639 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2010. Keep 3,169 contributions and 1,516 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Principal in 2010 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $43,606,592 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Principal-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Principal grouping’s 2010 cell is $2,732,639 in itemized individual contributions, from 3,169 contributions and 1,516 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $43,606,592 all-cycle occupation total.

Is the 2014 Principal total included here?

No. This cell is the self-reported string PRINCIPAL matched to cycle 2010. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, MANAGING PRINCIPAL, and OWNER are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Principal occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Principal FEC money fell in 2010?

About 6.3%. $2,732,639 divided by $43,606,592 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 93.7% ($40,873,953) on the occupation hub. See the Principal occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Principal mean a school principal?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $2,732,639 is itemized receipts tagged PRINCIPAL in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
