FEC.gov records $211,722 at the intersection of U S Government and the 2010 election cycle. The Commission’s individual-contribution aggregates list 201 itemized gifts and 55 unique donors for that pair of keys. Across all cycles the stored string U S GOVERNMENT sums to $3,913,536, which means this midterm window is about 5.4% of the running total. The page is a join: generic federal-employer text as stored, not a federal PAC, not agency appropriations, and not USAspending obligations.
Key figures
- U S Government × 2010 is $211,722 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 201 contributions from 55 donors.
- 2010 is about 5.4% of the grouping’s $3,913,536 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (generic federal-employer text as stored), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Why U S Government and 2010 share one cell
This page is the product of two keys, not a restatement of one hub. Filter individual receipts to U S GOVERNMENT and to cycle 2010 and the Commission’s aggregates return $211,722. 201 contributions and 55 donors sit inside that cell. Recipients are not named here. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. FEC.gov is the source.
Open U S Government and the year filter comes off. Open 2010 election cycle and the employer filter comes off. Only the overlay U S Government 2010 keeps both. U S Government is generic federal-employer text as stored. US GOVERNMENT, U.S. GOVERNMENT, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and named agencies are other keys. A neighboring spelling is a different join even if a searcher thinks the words are synonyms.
$3,913,536 is the lifetime total for this stored string. Folding 2010 into that figure, or stretching $211,722 across every cycle, mixes two different questions. The cell answers only the paired question. 2010 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.
2010 as a slice of $3,913,536
5.4% is $211,722 divided by $3,913,536. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 94.6% equals $3,701,814 and lives on other cycle pages for U S Government. A mid-single-digit share is not a peak-year ranking.
$3,913,536 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to U S GOVERNMENT across cycles in this table. It is not the federal budget, not agency payroll, and not a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 5.4% attached to U S Government and 2010 together.

- Does this include only currently employed federal workers under this exact spelling?

- Where is the overlay for the U S Government 2010 join?
- Open U S Government 2010 for the cycle overlay, U S Government for the grouping hub, and 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. Cite FEC.gov for $211,722, 201 contributions, and 55 donors.
