Smith Barney and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Smith Barney crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Smith Barney and 2010 — sum to $244,773. 424 itemized contributions and 117 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. SMITH BARNEY is grouped employer text. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not merge Citi- or Morgan Stanley-prefixed successor strings.

Neither the Smith Barney hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Smith Barney hub is the year index for this string. CITI SMITH BARNEY, MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, and BROKER occupation titles stay on their own keys if stored separately. Federal financial-agency awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

4.2% of the Smith Barney roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5.9 million ($5,882,332). The 2010 slice of $244,773 is about 4.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.8%. Treating 2010 as the Smith Barney FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,882,332 as the denominator for the 4.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $5,882,332.

424 contributions from 117 donors

Dividing $244,773 by 424 contributions yields about $577 per itemized gift. Dividing by 117 donors yields about $2,092 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.6. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

117 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Smith Barney 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Smith Barney is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Smith Barney to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $244,773 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 424 contributions, the 117 unique donors, and the 4.2% share of $5,882,332.

Limits of the Smith Barney × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $244,773. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a Morgan Stanley successor filing and not a Smith Barney PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 117 donors, and 424 contributions. CITI SMITH BARNEY, MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY, MSSB, and generic BROKER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Smith Barney and 2010 together

Start with $244,773, then Smith Barney 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Smith Barney, 2010, $244,773, 424 contributions, 117 donors, 4.2% of $5,882,332, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.2% share, the 117-donor count, and the $577 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.

The key is not a Morgan Stanley successor filing and not a Smith Barney PAC.
