VP political contributions in the 2014 FEC cycle

How VP and 2014 meet in FEC itemized receipts

Occupation VP and cycle 2014 produce $2,200,832, 2,289 contributions, and 932 donors. The occupation nationwide across cycles is $29,934,385. Dollar share for 2014 is 7.4%. 2,289 contributions from 932 donors means repeated itemization is common in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. Contribution count is not a headcount of people who hold the job.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. VP is an abbreviated title as entered. VICE PRESIDENT and SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT are separate occupation keys. The string is not the constitutional office. LobbyVault does not expand VP into those longer titles. The 2014 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a midterm-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add 2012 presidential-year dollars into the 2014 total. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $2,200,832.

What the VP label covers

VP donations is the occupation hub: $29,934,385 across cycles from filers who typed the abbreviation VP. Sibling strings (VICE PRESIDENT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and EVP) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a count of U.S. vice presidents, a corporate officer census, or a merge with VICE PRESIDENT spelled out.

2014’s $2,200,832 sits inside $29,934,385. Because 7.4% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the rest of VP itemization lives in other even-year cycles. Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2014 as the second dimension.

What the 2014 election cycle contributes to VP

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only VP. $2,200,832 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. It is not a 2012 presidential-year filter or a 2010 midterm-year filter.

2,289 contributions from 932 donors means repeated itemization is common in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,200,832, 2,289, and 932 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,200,832. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,200,832. Three numbers define the VP × 2014 cell: dollars $2,200,832, contribution rows 2,289, unique donors 932. Share of occupation dollars is 7.4% of $29,934,385.

Limits of the VP 2014 occupation-cycle table

Matching VP with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say VP donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a count of U.S. vice presidents, a corporate officer census, or a merge with VICE PRESIDENT spelled out.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. VP is an abbreviated title as entered. VICE PRESIDENT and SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT are separate occupation keys. The string is not the constitutional office. LobbyVault does not expand VP into those longer titles. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text.

Linked VP and 2014 pages

VP donations holds the $29,934,385 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only VP. All occupations places VP beside other titles without merging sibling strings (VICE PRESIDENT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and EVP). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,200,832 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle VP dollars ($29,934,385). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,200,832, 2,289 contributions, 932 donors, 7.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: VP donations, the 2014 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Repeat gifts inside VP 2014

2,289 contributions from 932 donors means repeated itemization is common in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. Name matching can split or merge people across filings, so 932 is an index unique-person count for this pair, not a professional-association census.

2,289 is the row count. $2,200,832 is the dollar count. Neither is a license count. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation labels remain filer-entered.
