Google as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Google and 2014 — sum to $568,444. 402 itemized contributions and 163 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. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Google hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Google is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 163 donors and 402 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who typed Alphabet, YouTube, Google LLC, or ENGINEER without the company sit in other buckets. GOOGLE INC, ALPHABET, ALPHABET INC, and YOUTUBE are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Google as stored.

2.0% of the Google roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $28,141,117. The 2014 slice of $568,444 is about 2.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.0%. Treating 2014 as the Google FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $28,141,117 as the denominator for the 2.0% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $28,141,117. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions

How much did Google donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $568,444 in itemized individual contributions for the Google grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 402 contributions and 163 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $28,141,117 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Google FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $28,141,117. The 2014 cell of $568,444 is about 2.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.0% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Google hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Google employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Google. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2014 only, totaling $568,444 from 163 donors on 402 contribution lines.

Where is the overlay for the Google 2014 join?

Open Google 2014 for the cycle overlay, Google for the grouping hub, and the 2014 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.
