Scientist contributions received by ACTBLUE

$7,385,269 in itemized individual contributions is the join between occupation SCIENTIST and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 147,207 contributions on FEC.gov. The occupation grouping totals $26,806,625 ($26.8 million) across all recipients, so this committee is 27.6% of that labeled money. This page is the occupation-and-committee match, not an NSF award file, a lab-employment census, or USAspending research grants.

Key figures

  • ActBlue received $7,385,269 from Scientist-coded individual gifts across 147,207 contributions.
  • The Scientist occupation grouping totals $26,806,625, so this committee is 27.6% of that labeled money.
  • About $50 per contribution is the mean of 147,207 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • The join is an FEC occupation–committee intersection, not corporate treasury spending and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Scientist occupation text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

SCIENTIST is a broad occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. Federal research awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger and are not funded by these receipts. Matching rows sum to $7,385,269 across 147,207 contributions. The occupation hub is $26,806,625 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Scientist. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

About 147,000 itemized lines at a two-digit mean, with more than a quarter of the occupation book on this conduit. Researcher is a sibling key in this batch, not a subset. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed SCIENTIST; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

Researcher, Chemist, and Biologist are other keys if stored separately. Scientist holds the occupation-wide $26,806,625. ACTBLUE holds committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Researcher receipts on ActBlue sit on another page in this slice. Do not add Scientist and Researcher. Agency grant tables are USAspending, not FEC.

More than a quarter of the Scientist grouping

The Scientist occupation grouping shows $26,806,625 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $7,385,269, or 27.6% of that total. The remaining $19,421,356 (72.4%) went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Scientist keeps the $26,806,625 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for an NSF award file, a lab-employment census, or USAspending research grants.

A high-share ActBlue cell under a lab title

ACTBLUE received $7,385,269 from Scientist-coded receipts across 147,207 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $50 per contribution. 147,207 lines are not 147,207 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $7,385,269 total. Researcher receipts on ActBlue sit on another page in this slice. Do not add Scientist and Researcher. Agency grant tables are USAspending, not FEC.

Scientist gifts are not federal research awards

A 27.6% share of Scientist-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. Do not claim these itemized gifts funded USAspending awards. Occupation and committee are FEC labels; federal obligations are another system. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $7,385,269 as 27.6% of $26,806,625 into C00401224, with 147,207 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 147,207 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. Researcher, Chemist, and Biologist are other keys if stored separately.

How to cite Scientist × C00401224

A complete claim names Scientist and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $7,385,269, 147,207 contributions, and 27.6% of $26,806,625, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $19,421,356 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Mean gift $50 is $7,385,269 divided by 147,207 lines. It is not a typical check and not a contribution limit. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $7,385,269 to $26,806,625. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages.
