Producer political money in the 2014 election cycle

Producer as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PRODUCER and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $689,963, 561 contributions, and 236 donors. PRODUCER in 2014 is the same ambiguous string as the 2010 cell. Entertainment, agriculture, and energy uses still share the word. The occupation hub is $20,616,070 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 3.3% ($689,963 of $20,616,070). The remainder, $19,926,107, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 561 lines from 236 donors is a broader line count than 2010’s Producer cell, still only 3.3% of the all-cycle roll. 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 $689,963.

The same Producer roll, a 2014 midterm cut

$20,616,070 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. 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 2014 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 add another cycle’s Producer cell to this 2014 total. Keep each Producer × cycle join on its own page.

236 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $689,963 by 561 contributions yields about $1,230 per gift. Dividing by 236 donors yields about $2,924 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.4 (561 ÷ 236). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

236 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 236 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 3.3% of Producer-coded dollars is not

A 3.3% share of Producer-coded dollars from 2014 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 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $689,963 as itemized individual receipts tagged PRODUCER in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Producer × 2014

A complete claim names Producer and 2014, then $689,963, 561 contributions, 236 donors, and 3.3% of $20,616,070, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 236 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 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,230 and mean per donor $2,924 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and the 2010 sibling join

The occupation hub still holds $19,926,107 outside 2014. 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 2014 average about 2.4. That ratio is 561 divided by 236, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Producer-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $689,963 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Producer in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 561 contributions and 236 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $20,616,070, so 2014 is 3.3% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every producer who donated in 2014?

No. The 236 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to PRODUCER in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $689,963 on 561 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Producer occupation money is the 2014 cycle?

3.3%: $689,963 of $20,616,070. The remaining $19,926,107 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $689,963 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 2014 tables?

Producer donations carries the $20,616,070 occupation total. The 2014 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 × 2014 intersection only.
