Private Investor political money — 2010 cycle

Private Investor as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PRIVATE INVESTOR and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $750,355, 439 contributions, and 175 donors. PRIVATE INVESTOR is a self-applied label. People who typed Investor or Investor/Retired sit in other occupation rows. The occupation hub is $10,334,178 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2010’s dollar share is 7.3% ($750,355 of $10,334,178). The remainder, $9,583,823, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 439 lines from 175 donors with a four-figure mean is a thinner, higher-dollar midterm cell. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $750,355.

The Private Investor string across every cycle

$10,334,178 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Investor, Private Equity, and Retired are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $10,334,178 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Private Investor donations for the $10,334,178 roll. Open the 2010 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Investor without Private is a different stored string. Do not merge the two rolls on this page.

175 donors and about 2.5 gifts per donor

Dividing $750,355 by 439 contributions yields about $1,709 per gift. Dividing by 175 donors yields about $4,288 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.5 (439 ÷ 175). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

175 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 175 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.

What 7.3% of Private Investor dollars is not

A 7.3% share of Private Investor-coded dollars from 2010 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $750,355 as itemized individual receipts tagged PRIVATE INVESTOR in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Private Investor × 2010

A complete claim names Private Investor and 2010, then $750,355, 439 contributions, 175 donors, and 7.3% of $10,334,178, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 175 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Private Investor and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,709 and mean per donor $4,288 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Investor as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $9,583,823 outside 2010. Most of the $10,334,178 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Investor, Private Equity, and Retired are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of PRIVATE INVESTOR on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.5. That ratio is 439 divided by 175, not a measure of turnout.
