Small Business Owner money in the 2010 FEC cycle

$306,638 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between occupation SMALL BUSINESS OWNER and the 2010 election cycle. That cell covers 466 contributions from 235 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $10,278,471, so 2010 is 3.0% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not an SBA size-standard census, a Main Street PAC, or a merge with Business Owner.

Key figures

  • $306,638 joins the Small Business Owner occupation string to the 2010 FEC cycle.
  • 466 contributions from 235 donors produced that cell.
  • 2010 is about 3.0% of the occupation’s $10,278,471 lifetime total.
  • SMALL BUSINESS OWNER is a filer-entered title, not an SBA size-standard census.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Small Business Owner as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation SMALL BUSINESS OWNER and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $306,638, 466 contributions, and 235 donors. SMALL BUSINESS OWNER in 2010 is a three-word proprietor title. FEC.gov does not apply SBA size tests or confirm that the filer still owned a firm that cycle. The occupation hub is $10,278,471 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2010’s dollar share is 3.0% ($306,638 of $10,278,471). The remainder, $9,971,833, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub (97.0%). Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale proprietor cell in a midterm window. 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 $306,638.

A three-word proprietor title, not an SBA census

$10,278,471 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Sibling strings (BUSINESS OWNER, OWNER, and ENTREPRENEUR) stay on other pages. Adding those keys to $10,278,471 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts. The occupation is not an SBA size-standard census, a Main Street PAC, or a merge with Business Owner.

Open Small Business Owner donations for the $10,278,471 roll. Open the 2010 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. Business owner without Small and the one-word Owner remain other keys. This cell keeps the three-word spelling.

235 donors inside the 2010 midterm window

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Small Business Owner. $306,638 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.

466 itemized lines from 235 unique donors is about 2.0 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $658; mean per donor about $1,305. About 2.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $306,638. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale proprietor cell in a midterm window.

What Small Business Owner dollars in 2010 are not

Matching Small Business Owner with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Small Business Owner donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an SBA size-standard census, a Main Street PAC, or a merge with Business Owner.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Entrepreneur and owner remain other keys. Combining them with this cell would mix stored spellings. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $306,638 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Small Business Owner × 2010

A complete claim names Small Business Owner and 2010, then $306,638, 466 contributions, 235 donors, and 3.0% of $10,278,471, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 235 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Small Business Owner and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $658 and mean per donor $1,305 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Business Owner as a sibling

Small Business Owner donations holds the $10,278,471 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Small Business Owner. All occupations places SMALL BUSINESS OWNER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (BUSINESS OWNER, OWNER, and ENTREPRENEUR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $306,638 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $9,971,833 (97.0%) outside 2010. Most of the $10,278,471 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Business owner without Small and the one-word Owner remain other keys. This cell keeps the three-word spelling. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.0. That ratio is 466 divided by 235, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Small Business Owner and 2010. Quote the dollars: $306,638. Quote the volume: 466 contributions, 235 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.
