Key figures
- Stockbroker × 2010 is $226,884 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 197 contributions from 41 donors.
- 2010 is about 5.9% of the grouping’s $3,860,967 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text (STOCKBROKER), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Stockbroker as stored text, 2010 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Stockbroker (STOCKBROKER) and 2010 — sum to $226,884. 197 itemized contributions and 41 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.
Neither the Stockbroker hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. STOCKBROKER is the stored occupation string. BROKER, TRADER, REGISTERED REP, and FINANCIAL ADVISOR are other keys. A Broker 2010 page is a different occupation filter. Forty-one unique donors produced 197 lines. Do not add STOCKBROKER to BROKER. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $226,884. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.
5.9% of the Stockbroker roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,860,967 ($3.9 million). The 2010 slice of $226,884 is about 5.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.1% ($3,634,083). Treating 2010 as the Stockbroker FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $3,860,967 as the denominator for the 5.9% 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 $3,860,967.
197 contributions from 41 donors
Dividing $226,884 by 197 contributions yields about $1,152 per itemized gift. Dividing by 41 donors yields about $5,534 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.8. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.
41 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, members, or licensees. 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 Stockbroker 2010 holds the rows. This packet does not publish donor names; do not invent them.
2010 as the cycle dimension
The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Stockbroker 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 Stockbroker to drop the year. 2010 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $226,884.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $226,884 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 197 contributions, the 41 unique donors, and the 5.9% share of $3,860,967.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $226,884. 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. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending obligations. Do not add $226,884 to federal spending figures.
Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 41 donors, and 197 contributions. STOCKBROKER is the stored occupation string. BROKER, TRADER, REGISTERED REP, and FINANCIAL ADVISOR are other keys. A Broker 2010 page is a different occupation filter. Forty-one unique donors produced 197 lines. Do not add STOCKBROKER to BROKER. Cite the exact stored string STOCKBROKER crossed with 2010. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.
Citing Stockbroker and 2010 together
Start with $226,884, then Stockbroker 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Stockbroker, 2010, $226,884, 197 contributions, 41 donors, 5.9% of $3,860,967, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string STOCKBROKER.
The 5.9% share, the 41-donor count, and the $1,152 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.
A searcher who only opens the Stockbroker hub will see $3,860,967 without the 2010 split; a searcher who only opens 2010 will see every employer in that window. This page is the overlap.
