Key figures
- US Government × 2010 is $310,269 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 389 contributions from 153 donors.
- 2010 is about 3.2% of the grouping’s $9,651,418 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a public-administration NAICS total and not federal appropriated funds.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
US Government employer text × 2010
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — US Government and 2010 — sum to $310,269. The cell holds 389 itemized contributions and 153 unique donors. 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 US Government hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. US Government is a catch-all employer line, not an agency roster. One hundred fifty-three donors in 2010 typed that generic phrase. People who named a department or a service branch sit on those more specific keys. This join does not roll those keys into the generic string. U.S. GOVERNMENT, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, US ARMY, US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, and named agencies are other keys. This page is the generic US Government string.
3.2% of the US Government roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $9,651,418 ($9.7 million). The 2010 slice of $310,269 is about 3.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.8%. Treating 2010 as the US Government FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $9,651,418 as the denominator for the 3.2% 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 $9,651,418.

- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $9,651,418. The 2010 cell of $310,269 is about 3.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the US Government hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Are these official US Government funds?
- No. $310,269 is individual receipts whose employer text grouped to US Government. Appropriated funds and official accounts are not the payor. Punctuation variants and named agencies are other keys with their own totals. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the US Government hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Where is the overlay for the US Government 2010 join?
- Open US Government 2010 for the cycle overlay, US Government 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.
