Contributors who listed AIR FORCE on federal itemized receipts account for $4,277,900 in the 2014 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. That slice is 31 contributions from 7 donors. The all-cycle AIR FORCE total is $5,586,340. Cycle 2014 is 76.6% of that parent book. AIR FORCE is grouped employer/occupation text — not a Pentagon appropriation, not USAspending obligations to the Department of the Air Force, and not a count of every airman who donated. This page joins that string to cycle 2014. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

A seven-donor midterm slice that holds most of the string
Seven unique donors produced 31 itemized receipts totaling $4.28 million in 2014. That is on the order of 4.4 lines per donor. The dollars are concentrated among a small roster; the label is a service-branch word that many people could have typed. This extract shows seven contributor IDs, not a service census. The Air Force 2014 overlay lists the disclosed names.
Seventy-six point six percent of $5,586,340 sits in 2014. The leftover outside this cycle is $1,308,440, or 23.4%. Reading only 2014 understates the parent; reading only the parent hides that a majority landed in this midterm window.
People who typed USAF, DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, RETIRED, or a contractor legal name sit on other keys unless a receipt grouped to AIR FORCE.
Do not join this string to USAspending
FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2014. USAspending obligations tagged to the Department of the Air Force are a different dataset on a different site. This LobbyVault join does not carry an obligation total and does not claim that $4.28 million in itemized gifts funded aircraft, bases, or contracts.
The 2014 election cycle hub shows other employer strings in the same window, including civilian firm names. AIR FORCE is one self-reported grouping among them.
