Stride Rite Corp and the 2014 FEC election cycle
The Stride Rite Corp employer grouping recorded $1,025,100 in itemized individual contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 122 contributions from two donors. Stride Rite Corp is the matched corporate-style string, not a footwear-industry ranking and not a company PAC. This page joins that key to the 2014 two-year window so a two-person, 122-line cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a brand story. Sixty-one itemized lines per donor is a filing pattern: 122 contributions from two identities, not one hundred twenty-two employees. Do not treat 122 itemized lines as 122 Stride Rite employees.
Key figures
- Stride Rite Corp × 2014 equals $1,025,100 in itemized individual contributions.
- Two donors made 122 contributions in that cell.
- 2014 is about 16.3% of the grouping’s $6,274,148 all-cycle total.
- The key is a self-reported employer string, not a treasury line.
- The page is a two-table join, not a brand ranking.
Two donors where Stride Rite Corp meets 2014
A two-donor cell with 122 itemized lines is a filing pattern of many receipts, not 122 people. The entire $1,025,100 sits with those two identities. The join includes only rows whose employer text rolled up to Stride Rite Corp and whose dates fall in 2014. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.
Across cycles, the grouping totals $6,274,148. The 2014 window is about 16.3% of that running total. A midterm share near one-sixth with two filers is a concentration statistic, not a ranking of shoe brands and not proof that a company treasury wrote the checks. Other years under this key are not imported here.
What the Corp string holds
FEC employer fields are free text. Stride Rite Corp is the rollup as stored. Filers who wrote Stride Rite without Corp, a parent name such as a later owner, or a division name may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not contain.
Two donors made 122 contributions. That is 61 itemized lines per identity — among the higher contribution-to-donor ratios in this batch. The overlay for Stride Rite Corp 2014 is the row view. This prose does not name the two identities.
Treat $6,274,148 as the denominator for the 16.3% share, not as a brand valuation. A later cycle under this key would have its own donor count and must not inherit the two-donor fact from 2014.
122 lines from two identities
Dividing $1,025,100 by 122 contributions yields about $8,402 per itemized gift. Dividing by two donors yields $512,550 per donor. Those means will move if either identity is reclassified. They are not a typical check size for footwear employees outside this cell, and they are not a median.
One hundred twenty-two contributions should not be mistaken for 122 employees. Recipients are not listed in this prose. Use the overlay table for rows. Repeat itemization by recipient and report can produce dozens of lines from two people. Sixty-one lines per donor among two Corp-string identities is the filing pattern that makes 122 contributions look like a workforce when it is not.
2014 as a filter, not a brand scoreboard
The 2014 election cycle hub holds every stored employer for that window. Stride Rite Corp is one key inside it. No cycle-wide total appears in this packet, so this page does not state a national share. Midterm volume belongs on the cycle hub.
Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Stride Rite Corp to drop the year. All FEC ties lists other joins. None of those pages inherit this cell’s two-donor count.
What a two-donor footwear key does not prove
Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee activity sit outside $1,025,100. Federal award files are a different dataset. Sharing a consumer-brand name and a calendar year is not a funding trail from FEC gifts to contracts.
Correlation between a Corp employer string and a midterm cycle is not causation. The records show two matched identities, 122 contributions, and a date window. Product and retail outcomes are not in the table.
Keeping 122 lines inside 2014
Start with $1,025,100, then Stride Rite Corp 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. That path keeps two filters and one cell.
Two donors, 122 contributions, and a 16.3% share versus $6,274,148 belong to 2014. Carry any of them into another cycle and the arithmetic stops being a fact from this packet. About $8,402 per gift, $512,550 per donor, and a 16.3 percent share of $6,274,148 belong to Stride Rite Corp in 2014. Parent or owner names that filers typed instead of this Corp string would miss the rollup. Consumer-brand presence in another federal file is not a funding trail.
