Small Business Owner donations, 2014 FEC cycle

Small Business Owner as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation SMALL BUSINESS OWNER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $357,927 ($357,927), 465 contributions, and 257 donors. 3.5% of Small Business Owner occupation dollars ($10,278,471) fall in 2014. 2014 is a midterm three-word owner cell: 465 receipts from 257 donors, a modest slice of an occupation total above ten million.

Small Business Owner is a three-word owner stamp as typed, not an SBA-size recode. Nearby strings — BUSINESS OWNER, OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, and SELF EMPLOYED — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $357,927 or $10,278,471. Business Owner without Small is a different key and is not stacked onto this cell. The FEC file does not verify employee count, revenue, or an EIN.

The SMALL BUSINESS OWNER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $10,278,471 ($10.3 million) is the Small Business Owner total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 3.5% of that roll; the remaining $9,920,544 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Small Business Owner is not an SBA loan file and not a Chamber of Commerce membership. Small Business Owner is not an SBA small-business census, a Census employer file, or a secretary-of-state entity roll.

Open Small Business Owner donations for the $10,278,471 roll. Open the 2014 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. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 465 itemized contributions map to 257 donors. That is about 1.8 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $770; dollars per donor average about $1,393. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Small Business Owner row. 257 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $357,927.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $357,927 attached to 2014 and $10,278,471 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($9,920,544) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $357,927 with both nouns: Small Business Owner and 2014.

What a Small Business Owner cycle join cannot claim

Matching Small Business Owner with 2014 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 small-business census, a Census employer file, or a secretary-of-state entity roll.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $357,927. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked small-business-owner hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Small Business Owner donations holds the $10,278,471 occupation total. The 2014 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, ENTREPRENEUR, and SELF EMPLOYED). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $357,927 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Small Business Owner dollars ($10,278,471). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $357,927, 465 contributions, 257 donors, 3.5% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $357,927; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $10,278,471. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Small Business Owner-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Small Business Owner grouping’s 2014 cell is $357,927 in itemized individual contributions, from 465 contributions and 257 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $10,278,471 all-cycle occupation total.

Is Small Business Owner the same as Business Owner?

No. SMALL BUSINESS OWNER is a three-word stamp. Business Owner, Owner, and Entrepreneur are other occupation keys. Mixing them would invent a combined owner total that is not a packet fact. The FEC file does not check SBA size standards or an EIN.

What share of Small Business Owner FEC money fell in 2014?

About 3.5%. $357,927 divided by $10,278,471 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $9,920,544 on the occupation hub. See the Small Business Owner occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Small Business Owner 2014 money fund federal awards?

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. $357,927 is itemized receipts tagged SMALL BUSINESS OWNER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
