State of California and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Reading $417,270 as an intersection

$417,270 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is State of California (STATE OF CALIFORNIA). The cycle filter is 2014. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 569 lines, and the 165 donors.

Because the grouping is state-government employer text, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for State of California. Use the 2014 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $8,112,855 denominator

Divide $417,270 by $8,112,855 and the result is about 5.1%. The complementary share is 94.9%, or $7,695,585 outside 2014. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$8,112,855 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched STATE OF CALIFORNIA in any cycle in this table. The denominator $8,112,855 is every cycle stored for STATE OF CALIFORNIA, not revenue and not assets. $417,270 over $8,112,855 is about 5.1%. The leftover $7,695,585 is other even-year windows on the State of California hub.

$733 per contribution, $2,529 per donor

Per-gift mean $733 and per-donor mean $2,529 follow from $417,270, 569, and 165. About 3.4 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed STATE OF CALIFORNIA as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $733 per itemized contribution, $2,529 per unique donor, 3.4 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $417,270, 569, and 165. They are not medians.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2014 and FEC cycle 2014 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $417,270. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

State of California remains one grouping among many on the 2014 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. 2014 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $417,270 is the two-year cell.

Correlation is not a spending trail

A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $417,270 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that State of California as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record. PAC filings sit outside $417,270. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is state-government employer text, not California’s state treasury, a state-employee union PAC, or California as a geography hub.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: the 2014 overlay for this string, the State of California industry hub, the 2014 election cycle hub, and the ties index. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

This snapshot recorded $417,270 from 569 contributions and 165 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($417,270), then both keys (State of California, 2014), then volume (569 contributions, 165 donors), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: State of California in 2014 is $417,270 from 569 itemized individual contributions and 165 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $8,112,855 across cycles, so 2014 is about 5.1% and other windows hold $7,695,585 (94.9%). The grouping is state-government employer text, not California’s state treasury, a state-employee union PAC, or California as a geography hub. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $733; mean per donor about $2,529; about 3.4 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2014 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $417,270.
