Writer contributions received by ACTBLUE

$17,096,677 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the occupation WRITER and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 278,509 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The occupation grouping totals $80,210,868 across all recipients, so this committee is 21.3% of that labeled money. This page is the occupation-and-committee match, not an authors’ guild census, a publisher PAC, or independent expenditures.

Key figures

  • ActBlue received $17,096,677 from Writer-coded individual gifts across 278,509 contributions.
  • The Writer occupation grouping totals $80,210,868, so this committee is 21.3% of that labeled money.
  • About $61 per contribution is the mean of 278,509 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • The join is an FEC occupation–committee intersection, not corporate treasury spending and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Writer occupation text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

WRITER is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. Author and Journalist are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $17,096,677 across 278,509 contributions. The occupation hub is $80,210,868 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Writer. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Hundreds of thousands of conduit lines with a two-digit mean, and about 21% of the occupation roll. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed WRITER; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

About 21% of the Writer grouping

The Writer occupation grouping shows $80,210,868 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $17,096,677, or 21.3% of that total. The remaining $63,114,191 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Writer keeps the $80,210,868 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

278,509 contributions and a small mean

ACTBLUE received $17,096,677 from Writer-coded receipts across 278,509 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $61 per contribution. 278,509 lines are not 278,509 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $17,096,677 total.

Creative titles versus publisher PACs and awards

A 21.3% share of Writer-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $17,096,677 as 21.3% of $80,210,868 into C00401224, with 278,509 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 278,509 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job.

How to cite Writer × C00401224

A complete claim names Writer and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $17,096,677, 278,509 contributions, and 21.3% of $80,210,868, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $63,114,191 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Occupation hub, ActBlue overlay, and Author as a sibling

An authors’ guild census, a publisher PAC, or independent expenditures would be a different object. This join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged WRITER and attributed to C00401224. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $61 is $17,096,677 divided by 278,509 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $63,114,191.

Repeat the four numbers together: $17,096,677 into C00401224, 278,509 contributions, 21.3% of $80,210,868, committee ACTBLUE. That sentence is the join. It is not a company treasury and not a federal award total.

Keep both dimensions in the same sentence whenever these dollars are quoted. The stored join is the unit of evidence. Sibling occupation strings and other committees stay on their own pages. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards remain other government files.
