AMAZON as FEC employer text: $13.7 million

Contributors who listed AMAZON on federal itemized receipts account for $13,674,463, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 21,226 contributions from 878 donors. AMAZON is a self-reported employer string, not a NAICS e-commerce or cloud-computing total, and not the company’s PAC or lobbying disclosure. GOOGLE and MICROSOFT are sibling tech-employer rows with their own figures. The 878 unique donors and 21,226 lines describe the one-word brand cluster only; unitemized gifts stay outside the $13,674,463.

Key figures

  • AMAZON as FEC employer text totals $13,674,463 from 878 donors.
  • 21,226 contribution lines sit under that firm string.
  • GOOGLE, MICROSOFT, ENGINEER, and DEVELOPER are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

A retail-and-cloud brand on Schedule A

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. AMAZON is the one-word form as typed. The $13,674,463 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Amazon’s disclosed PAC spending, not AWS contract dollars, and not a NAICS 4541 or 518 rollup of nonstore retail and data processing. Those 878 people and 21,226 lines are the AMAZON grouping only.

People who typed AMAZON.COM, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, AWS, or ENGINEER / DEVELOPER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode subsidiaries into AMAZON.

878 donors and 21,226 lines

878 unique donors produced 21,226 AMAZON contribution lines totaling $13,674,463. That unique-person count is smaller than Microsoft’s 3,187-donor MICROSOFT row at a higher dollar total. Receipts per donor run near 24. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among warehouse, corporate, and cloud payrolls.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. The company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $13,674,463.

Tech-employer siblings

GOOGLE and MICROSOFT are separate employer-name keys. Combining them with AMAZON would be a researcher-built large-tech recode. This page stays at $13,674,463 for AMAZON only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the brand. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER as industry keys still hold staff who omitted the company name.

Donor table

The AMAZON donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an FTC case, a warehouse location, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type AMAZON share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR export.

Repeat names among 21,226 lines from 878 people are expected. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the firm string.

AMAZON’s 21,226 lines from 878 donors totaling $13,674,463 should be read beside GOOGLE and MICROSOFT as sibling tech-employer keys, not as one large-tech NAICS total. ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold staff who omitted the brand. AMAZON.COM and AWS, if stored separately, are other keys. Unitemized gifts and the company PAC stay out. Occupation pages show titles beside AMAZON. The donor table is not an HR export. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not NAICS retail or cloud.

ENGINEER and DEVELOPER still hold staff who omitted the company name.

People who typed AMAZON.COM, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, or AWS sit in other rows if stored that way. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and committee PAC documents are outside the $13,674,463. Alumni who still type AMAZON remain in the 878. The FEC field is not an HR export across warehouse, corporate, and cloud payrolls. The packet does not split those payrolls.
