Producer political money in the 2010 election cycle

Producer as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PRODUCER and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $756,261, 380 contributions, and 207 donors. PRODUCER is an ambiguous occupation string. Entertainment, agriculture, and energy filers can share the same typed word. The occupation hub is $20,616,070 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 3.7% ($756,261 of $20,616,070). The remainder, $19,859,809, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 380 lines from 207 donors with a four-figure mean is a thinner, higher-dollar cell than many 2010 occupation keys. 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 $756,261.

A large Producer roll with many other years

$20,616,070 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Film Producer, Executive Producer, and Music Producer are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $20,616,070 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Producer donations for the $20,616,070 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. Do not treat this 2010 cell as Hollywood-only. The stored string does not split film from other producer uses.

207 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $756,261 by 380 contributions yields about $1,990 per gift. Dividing by 207 donors yields about $3,653 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.8 (380 ÷ 207). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

207 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 207 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2010 receipts beside this cell.

What 3.7% of Producer-coded dollars is not

A 3.7% share of Producer-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 $756,261 as itemized individual receipts tagged PRODUCER in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Producer × 2010

A complete claim names Producer and 2010, then $756,261, 380 contributions, 207 donors, and 3.7% of $20,616,070, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 207 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Producer and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,990 and mean per donor $3,653 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Executive Producer as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $19,859,809 outside 2010. Most of the $20,616,070 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. Film Producer, Executive Producer, and Music Producer are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of PRODUCER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 1.8. That ratio is 380 divided by 207, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Producer-tagged donors give in 2010?

The join records $756,261 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Producer in the 2010 FEC cycle, from 380 contributions and 207 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $20,616,070, so 2010 is 3.7% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every producer who donated in 2010?

No. The 207 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to PRODUCER in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $756,261 on 380 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Producer occupation money is the 2010 cycle?

3.7%: $756,261 of $20,616,070. The remaining $19,859,809 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $756,261 divided by $20,616,070, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live Producer and 2010 tables?

Producer donations carries the $20,616,070 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Producer beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Producer × 2010 intersection only.
