Secretary donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

2010 filtered to Secretary

Apply the Secretary filter to the 2010 election cycle and the remaining money is $474,059. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 447 contributions and 271 donors. The occupation overlay lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Secretary is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 271 unique donors matched the stored string in 2010. Repeat gifts can raise 447 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Secretary total of $10,153,281 still includes other windows. Citing $10,153,281 as if it were 2010 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2010 hub as if it were Secretary-only would overstate the year. SECRETARY is an ambiguous short title. The packet does not say whether filers meant clerical work, a corporate secretary role, or a public office.

4.7% of the Secretary roll

4.7% of stored Secretary money is tagged 2010 ($474,059). 95.3% is not ($9,679,222). Both percentages use $10,153,281 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2010 so $10,153,281 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Administrative assistant, office manager, executive assistant, and corporate secretary are omitted from both figures.

How 271 donors produced 447 gifts

Contribution count (447) and donor count (271) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $474,059 is their dollar sum. This is a mid-size cell.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 271 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract.

Dropping the Secretary filter

Dropping the Secretary filter returns the reader to the 2010 election cycle index. That index is not $474,059. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 447 contributions, 271 donors, $474,059.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Secretary cannot be ranked as a percent of 2010 national itemized giving. 4.7% remains a share of $10,153,281 only.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

This join refuses several claims: that $474,059 bought federal contracts; that 4.7% measures political intensity; that 271 donors are a workforce; that administrative assistant, office manager, executive assistant, and corporate secretary belong in this cell. Each refused claim would require a table that is not in the packet.

Cite FEC.gov. Cite occupation SECRETARY. Cite cycle 2010. Cite $474,059, 447 receipts, and 271 donors. Stop there unless a live overlay has moved the numbers.

Using the Secretary and 2010 hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-cycle questions for SECRETARY. The 2010 hub answers every-occupation questions for that window. This tie answers the both-filters question: $474,059, 447 receipts, 271 donors, 4.7% of $10,153,281.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Secretary donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation SECRETARY ∩ cycle 2010 = $474,059 itemized individual contributions, 447 receipts, 271 donors, 4.7% of $10,153,281. Neighbors remain administrative assistant, office manager, executive assistant, and corporate secretary. Unpublished split: clerical secretary versus corporate secretary versus public-office secretary. Not recoded into a clerical census, a corporate-secretary bar roster, or a cabinet-office list. Source remains FEC.gov. SECRETARY is an ambiguous short title. The packet does not say whether filers meant clerical work, a corporate secretary role, or a public office.

Itemized is the receipt class. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee-to-committee transfers sit outside $474,059. 271 unique donors are contributor keys, not a named roster. 447 is a line count. Mean gift $1,061 and mean per donor $1,749 stay arithmetic on packet integers.
