CONTRACTOR

Contractor as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Contractor and 2010 — sum to $1,040,246. 1,031 itemized contributions and 376 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 Contractor hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Contractor is a self-reported title, not a state contractor-license file and not an AGC membership roll. 376 donors and 1,031 lines in 2010 matched that word. GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONSTRUCTION, BUILDER, and named construction firms sit in other keys. This page is the stored string CONTRACTOR.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Contractor 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Contractor 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $1,040,246, 1,031 contributions, 376 donors, and 3.7% of $28,385,563.

3.7% of the Contractor roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $28,385,563. The 2010 slice of $1,040,246 is about 3.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.3% ($27,345,317). Treating 2010 as the Contractor FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $28,385,563 as the denominator for the 3.7% 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 $28,385,563.

A 3.7% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Contractor hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Contractor to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

Questions

How much did Contractor donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $1,040,246 in itemized individual contributions for the Contractor grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 1,031 contributions and 376 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $28,385,563 all-cycle figure.

What share of Contractor FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $28,385,563. The 2010 cell of $1,040,246 is about 3.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.3% ($27,345,317) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Contractor 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 Contractor donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string CONTRACTOR. 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 $1,040,246 from 376 donors.

Where is the overlay for the Contractor 2010 join?

Open Contractor 2010 for the cycle overlay, Contractor 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.
