Retail itemized contributions in FEC cycle 2010

Where Retail meets 2010

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation RETAIL and the 2010 election cycle. The intersection is $220,106, 236 contributions, and 121 donors. 4.4% of Retail occupation dollars ($5,030,135) fall in 2010.

2010 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2010 on FEC.gov, a midterm FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2010 dollars. RETAIL is a one-word occupation, closer to a sector word than a job title. Retail manager, retail sales, and store owner remain other keys. The join does not assign chains, store counts, or NAICS codes. Owners, clerks, and managers can type the sector word. This page does not split those roles or recode RETAIL MANAGER into RETAIL.

A Retail bucket, not a license file

On the occupation side, $5,030,135 is the Retail total across cycles. Sibling labels (RETAIL MANAGER, RETAIL SALES, and STORE OWNER) stay on other pages. Retail is not a NAICS retail-sector total, a chain PAC, or a merge with RETAIL MANAGER.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $5,030,135. The Retail donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $220,106 is a slice of. Dividing $220,106 by 236 receipts yields about $933 per line; dividing by 121 donors yields about $1,819 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

236 Retail receipts in the 2010 window

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Retail. $220,106 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

236 contributions from 121 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $933; mean per donor about $1,819. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $220,106. Three numbers define the Retail × 2010 cell: dollars $220,106, contribution rows 236, unique donors 121. Share of occupation dollars is 4.4% of $5,030,135.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

Matching Retail with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Retail donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a NAICS retail-sector total, a chain PAC, or a merge with RETAIL MANAGER.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. RETAIL is a one-word occupation, closer to a sector word than a job title. Retail manager, retail sales, and store owner remain other keys. The join does not assign chains, store counts, or NAICS codes. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $220,106 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Retail donations hub is $5,030,135; the 2010 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Retail and 2010 tables

Retail donations holds the $5,030,135 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Retail. All occupations places RETAIL beside other titles without merging sibling strings (RETAIL MANAGER, RETAIL SALES, and STORE OWNER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $220,106 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Retail dollars ($5,030,135). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $220,106, 236 contributions, 121 donors, 4.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Volume facts for Retail in 2010

Keep 236 contributions and 121 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Retail in 2010 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. About 2.0 receipts per donor and about $1,819 per donor are ratios, not typical gifts.

The all-cycle occupation total $5,030,135 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. FEC.gov is the source.

The Retail grouping’s 2010 cell is $220,106 in itemized individual contributions, from 236 contributions and 121 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,030,135 all-cycle occupation total.

Is Retail a NAICS industry total?

No. RETAIL here is an occupation string on individual contributions, not a NAICS retail-sector roll-up. The 2010 cycle filter on Retail is $220,106, 236 contributions, and 121 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $5,030,135. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.

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. $220,106 is itemized receipts tagged RETAIL in 2010, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
