$686,885 in itemized individual contributions is the 2010-cycle join for the occupation grouping Builder. FEC.gov aggregates count 622 contributions from 197 donors. The same string totals $16,832,191 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 4.1% of the lifetime bucket β€” a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a builders PAC and not a construction NAICS total.

Key figures

  • Builder Γ— 2010 is $686,885 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 622 contributions from 197 donors.
  • 2010 is about 4.1% of the grouping’s $16,832,191 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text, not a builders PAC and not a construction NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Builder as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β€” Builder and 2010 β€” sum to $686,885. 622 itemized contributions and 197 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Builder hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Builder is a self-reported title, not a homebuilder-association roll and not a housing-permit series. 197 donors and 622 lines in 2010 matched that word. HOME BUILDER, CONTRACTOR, GENERAL CONTRACTOR, DEVELOPER, and named construction firms sit in other keys. This page is the stored string BUILDER.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Builder 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Builder 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $686,885, 622 contributions, 197 donors, and 4.1% of $16,832,191.

4.1% of the Builder roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $16,832,191. The 2010 slice of $686,885 is about 4.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.9% ($16,145,306). Treating 2010 as the Builder FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $16,832,191 as the denominator for the 4.1% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $16,832,191.

A 4.1% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Builder hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Builder to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions

How much did Builder donors give in 2010?
FEC.gov aggregates show $686,885 in itemized individual contributions for the Builder grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 622 contributions and 197 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $16,832,191 all-cycle figure.
What share of Builder FEC money is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,832,191. The 2010 cell of $686,885 is about 4.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.9% ($16,145,306) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Builder hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only licensed or currently employed Builder donors?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string BUILDER. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $686,885 from 197 donors.
Where is the overlay for the Builder 2010 join?
Open Builder 2010 for the cycle overlay, Builder for the grouping hub, and the 2010 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.
