State Senator as occupation, 2014 as the FEC cycle
Donors coded STATE SENATOR accounted for $242,183 in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 238 itemized contributions and 92 donors. Occupation-wide, State Senator is $9,951,389. 2014 is a thin slice of State Senator occupation dollars: 2.4% ($242,183 of $9,951,389). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. LobbyVault joins the occupation table to the cycle table. It does not rank occupations by influence.
Key figures
- $242,183 joins the State Senator occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
- 238 contributions from 92 donors produced that cell.
- 2014 is about 2.4% of the occupation’s $9,951,389 lifetime total.
- STATE SENATOR is a filer-entered title, not a certified-ballot roll.
- FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.
State Senator and the 2014 cycle as two FEC filters
Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation STATE SENATOR and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $242,183, 238 contributions, and 92 donors. 2.4% of State Senator occupation dollars ($9,951,389) fall in 2014.
2014 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2014 on FEC.gov, a midterm FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2014 dollars. STATE SENATOR is the two-word occupation on a federal itemized receipt, not a roll of everyone who held a state senate seat. SENATOR without the modifier remains another key. The join does not verify officeholding in that cycle. Filers sometimes list State Senator as occupation on federal gifts. That is still an occupation-cycle filter, not a substitute for state campaign reports.
State Senator as an occupation string
On the occupation side, $9,951,389 is the State Senator total across cycles. Sibling labels (SENATOR, STATE REPRESENTATIVE, and LEGISLATOR) stay on other pages. State Senator is not a certified-ballot roll, a state-senate PAC, or a merge with SENATOR.
All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $9,951,389. The State Senator donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $242,183 is a slice of. Dividing $242,183 by 238 receipts yields about $1,018 per line; dividing by 92 donors yields about $2,632 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.
92 State Senator donors in the 2014 cell
The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only State Senator. $242,183 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.
238 contributions from 92 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.6 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,018; mean per donor about $2,632. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $242,183. Three numbers define the State Senator × 2014 cell: dollars $242,183, contribution rows 238, unique donors 92. Share of occupation dollars is 2.4% of $9,951,389.
What a State Senator–2014 join cannot claim
Matching State Senator with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say State Senator donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a certified-ballot roll, a state-senate PAC, or a merge with SENATOR.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. STATE SENATOR is the two-word occupation on a federal itemized receipt, not a roll of everyone who held a state senate seat. SENATOR without the modifier remains another key. The join does not verify officeholding in that cycle. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $242,183 funded USAspending obligations.
Linked State Senator and 2014 tables
State Senator donations holds the $9,951,389 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only State Senator. All occupations places STATE SENATOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (SENATOR, STATE REPRESENTATIVE, and LEGISLATOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $242,183 is not added to a different year.
Use the occupation hub for all-cycle State Senator dollars ($9,951,389). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $242,183, 238 contributions, 92 donors, 2.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.
Even-year reading of State Senator 2014
2014 is a midterm FEC window. Primaries, generals, and leftover receipts from adjacent windows can sit in the same even-year label. This packet does not split $242,183 by those stages or by party. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.
A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $9,951,389 is shared. Keep STATE SENATOR attached to $242,183 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2014.
Questions

- The State Senator grouping’s 2014 cell is $242,183 in itemized individual contributions, from 238 contributions and 92 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $9,951,389 all-cycle occupation total.
- Is this all money raised by state senate campaigns?
- No. STATE SENATOR here is an occupation label on federal individual receipts, not a state-campaign committee total. The 2014 cycle filter on State Senator is $242,183, 238 contributions, and 92 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $9,951,389. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.
- What share of State Senator FEC money fell in 2014?
- About 2.4%. $242,183 divided by $9,951,389 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 97.6% ($9,709,206) on the occupation hub. See the State Senator occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
- Does State Senator 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. $242,183 is itemized receipts tagged STATE SENATOR in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
