2014 cycle totals for filers listing Rancher

Reading the 2014 Rancher intersection

Filers typed RANCHER; committees reported the receipts to the FEC; LobbyVault grouped the itemized lines by occupation string and cycle. The 2014 group for this string is $1,116,088 on 1,317 contributions from 670 donors. That is the relationship. It is not a restatement of the occupation hub, which still totals $17,057,096.

Compare Rancher with other titles on all occupations. Compare 2014 with other even-year windows on the cycle hub. Compare this pair with other occupation–cycle pages on all FEC ties. None of those links moves $1,116,088 onto a different occupation string. If a filer used a near-synonym, that money is not in this cell.

Rancher as a filer-typed occupation, not a job census

The occupation-wide total for RANCHER on this extract is $17,057,096 ($17.1 million). That figure includes every indexed cycle for the same string, not only 2014. $1,116,088 is the 2014 slice (6.5%). RANCHER is the exact occupation string. FARMER, RANCH OWNER, AGRICULTURE, and CATTLEMAN are other keys. The join does not recode those labels and is not a USDA operator census.

$17.1 million is a rounded form of $17,057,096. Rounding does not change the 2014 cell. If a later extract revises the occupation total, revise the occupation sentence and recompute 6.5%; do not leave $1,116,088 described as a share of a stale denominator. FEC.gov remains controlling if extracts diverge.

2014 dollars for Rancher: $1,116,088

The 2014 value is the FEC two-year election cycle that closes on the 2014 federal election calendar. It is a reporting window on individual contribution records, not a single Election Day total and not a count of offices on the ballot. Receipts dated inside that cycle window stay here; receipts dated in another even-year cycle sit on that other join. Inside that window, Rancher accounts for $1,116,088 on 1,317 contributions from 670 donors.

1,317 is a line count for 2014, not a count of unique contribution dates and not a count of candidates who received money. Multiple gifts on one date still add rows. Earmarks and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. That is why 670 and 1,317 are both published.

Unique-person count inside the Rancher × 2014 filter

1,317 contributions and 670 donors describe different units. A row is an itemized receipt line. A donor is a unique person inside this occupation–cycle filter as LobbyVault matches names. 1,317 divided by 670 is the mean lines per donor in this cell; $1,116,088 divided by 670 is about $1,666 per donor; $1,116,088 divided by 1,317 is about $847 per line. Means are not medians. Large gifts pull the mean up. The packet does not publish a median.

Committee identity is not in these four facts. 670 people gave $1,116,088 through whatever recipient committees appear on the underlying rows. Listing those committees requires the occupation or cycle hub, not this snapshot. Do not fill that gap with a party adjective.

A complete citation names occupation RANCHER, cycle 2014, dollars $1,116,088, contribution lines 1,317, and unique donors 670. Omitting the occupation string makes the cycle look occupation-wide. Omitting the cycle makes the occupation hub look like a single-year figure. Omitting the donor count invites a reader to treat 1,317 as people. Keep all five tokens.

Public records, not a bloc or a motive

This page is not a claim that donations fund federal spending. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets. The join here is occupation × cycle inside FEC.gov only. It is not a ranking of occupations, not medical or political advice, and not a statement that Rancher as a profession acted in concert in 2014.

Searchers who want a candidate list, a party split, or an employer list need other LobbyVault tables. This join’s facts do not include those cuts. Inventing them would break the packet contract. Keep the sentence to occupation, cycle, dollars, rows, and donors.

Rancher donations is the all-cycle table for this string. 2014 election cycle is the all-occupation table for 2014. All occupations is the string inventory. All FEC ties is the join inventory. None of those pages authorizes adding $1,116,088 to a USAspending obligation total or ranking Rancher as more influential than another title.

Questions

How much did Rancher filers give in the 2014 FEC cycle?

Itemized individual contributions with occupation RANCHER total $1,116,088 in the 2014 FEC cycle. LobbyVault counts 1,317 contributions and 670 unique donors in that cell. The occupation-wide total for the same string on this extract is $17,057,096, so 2014 is 6.5% of that roll-up. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Labels are filer-entered.

Is $1,116,088 the full Rancher occupation total?

No. $1,116,088 is the 2014 slice only. The occupation hub still shows $17,057,096 across the extract. This page is a join: occupation string plus even-year cycle. It is not a restatement of Rancher donations and not a restatement of 2014 election cycle. Adding other cycles here would invent dollars the packet does not list.

How many Rancher donors are in the 2014 cell?

The join lists 670 unique donors and 1,317 contribution lines for RANCHER in 2014. A person can give more than once, so lines exceed donors. About $1,666 per donor and $847 per line are means from $1,116,088, not medians and not typical gifts. Name matching can split or merge people. This is not a job-census headcount.

Does Rancher include nearby job titles in 2014?

No. The filter is the exact occupation string RANCHER as filers typed it. Nearby titles stay on other keys listed under all occupations. The string is not a NAICS code, not a BLS occupation, and not a PAC. See Rancher donations for this key’s all-cycle table and all FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.
