Teacher occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Teacher as occupation, 2014 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string TEACHER. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $3,190,550, built from 4,103 contributions and 1,867 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. About 3.4% of a $92.5 million occupation stack is a small-share midterm chapter. Four thousand gifts from 1,867 donors spread the dollars. Mean line size is modest. That volume is not a union PAC total.

Average contribution is about $778; average per donor is about $1,709. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.2 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

TEACHER is not PROFESSOR

TEACHER is a high-volume occupation string. PROFESSOR, EDUCATOR, and PRINCIPAL are other keys; Principal 2014 is a separate cell in this slice. The FEC does not verify teaching credentials or union membership.

$92,518,340 is every cycle combined for TEACHER. $3,190,550 in 2014 is about 3.4% of that stack. Other windows hold about 96.6% ($89,327,790). A cycle cell at 3.4% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. PROFESSOR, EDUCATOR, and SCHOOL PRINCIPAL are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.

1,867 donors and 4,103 gifts in 2014

1,867 unique donors against 4,103 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2014 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $3,190,550.

A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode TEACHER into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub.

About 3.4% of a $92.5 million occupation stack

3.4% is $3,190,550 divided by $92,518,340. Reading only 2014 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 3.4%. The leftover outside 2014 is $89,327,790. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.

Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2014 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $92,518,340 is shared.

What a Teacher–2014 join cannot claim

Committee filings from education associations, if any, are PAC records, not this occupation-cycle join. Department of Education awards on USAspending are a different dataset. This page does not rank teachers as a political bloc.

The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $3,190,550, 4,103 contributions, and 1,867 donors for Teacher in 2014. Cite $92,518,340 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Related Teacher and 2014 tables

Teacher donations is the occupation hub behind $92,518,340. The 2014 election cycle page is the cycle census across occupations. All occupations lists other strings. All FEC ties collects other occupation-cycle pairs from the same two fields. Live hubs override this snapshot. If a hub disagrees with $3,190,550, 4,103 gifts, or 1,867 donor IDs, the hub and FEC.gov control.

Keep the occupation string TEACHER attached to $3,190,550 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2014. Keep 4,103 contributions and 1,867 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Teacher in 2014 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. The all-cycle occupation total $92,518,340 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Teacher-labeled donors give in 2014?

The Teacher grouping’s 2014 cell is $3,190,550 in itemized individual contributions, from 4,103 contributions and 1,867 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $92,518,340 all-cycle occupation total.

Is this a teachers-union PAC total?

No. This cell is the self-reported string TEACHER matched to cycle 2014. PROFESSOR, EDUCATOR, and SCHOOL PRINCIPAL are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the Teacher occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

What share of Teacher FEC money fell in 2014?

About 3.4%. $3,190,550 divided by $92,518,340 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 96.6% ($89,327,790) on the occupation hub. See the Teacher occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Teacher include professors?

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. $3,190,550 is itemized receipts tagged TEACHER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
