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.

What share of U S Government FEC money is 2010?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,913,536. The 2010 cell of $211,722 is about 5.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.6% ($3,701,814) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only currently employed federal workers under this exact spelling?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string U S GOVERNMENT. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Named agencies and other federal spellings may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2010 only, totaling $211,722 from 55 donors across 201 contributions.
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.
