AIR FORCE as FEC text in 2014: $4.3 million from 7 donors

A seven-donor midterm slice that holds most of the string

Seven unique donors produced 31 itemized receipts totaling $4.28 million in 2014. That is on the order of 4.4 lines per donor. The dollars are concentrated among a small roster; the label is a service-branch word that many people could have typed. This extract shows seven contributor IDs, not a service census. The Air Force 2014 overlay lists the disclosed names.

Seventy-six point six percent of $5,586,340 sits in 2014. The leftover outside this cycle is $1,308,440, or 23.4%. Reading only 2014 understates the parent; reading only the parent hides that a majority landed in this midterm window.

People who typed USAF, DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, RETIRED, or a contractor legal name sit on other keys unless a receipt grouped to AIR FORCE.

Do not join this string to USAspending

FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2014. USAspending obligations tagged to the Department of the Air Force are a different dataset on a different site. This LobbyVault join does not carry an obligation total and does not claim that $4.28 million in itemized gifts funded aircraft, bases, or contracts.

The 2014 election cycle hub shows other employer strings in the same window, including civilian firm names. AIR FORCE is one self-reported grouping among them.

What 7 donors and 31 lines omit

Unitemized gifts. Active-duty or civilian staff who typed a base name, a MAJCOM, or a contractor. Hatch Act questions, which this page does not litigate. State filings. Committee PAC documents that are not this individual string.

A large gift from an AIR FORCE-labeled donor is a public itemized contribution as disclosed. LobbyVault does not infer rank, duty status, or appropriation influence.

Seven donors and 31 lines totaling $4,277,900 is concentration among a small roster under a service-branch word that many people could have typed. This extract shows seven contributor IDs, not a service census. USAF, DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, RETIRED, and contractor legal names are other keys unless a receipt grouped to AIR FORCE.

The Air Force 2014 overlay lists disclosed names. LobbyVault does not infer rank, duty status, or Hatch Act questions from the string. This page does not litigate those questions.

This LobbyVault join does not carry an obligation dollar and does not claim that $4.28 million in itemized gifts funded aircraft, bases, or contracts. FEC and USAspending remain different datasets even when the words Air Force appear in both.

This page keeps the 2014 cut from being mistaken for the $5.59 million parent and from being mistaken for an appropriations table. The parent page remains the all-cycle FEC roll-up.
