Builder occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Builder as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Builder in 2014 is $346,365 on 467 itemized lines from 236 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 3.6% of $9,547,759 is $346,365. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

467 itemized lines from 236 unique donors is about 2.0 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $742; mean per donor about $1,468. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 236 people still used that title after 2014. Do not add a 2010 Builder cell to this 2014 figure. Each cycle is a separate join against the same occupation total.

This page is not a restatement of the Builder hub or of the 2014 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $346,365.

The same BUILDER roll, a different two-year clock

Filers who typed BUILDER produced the all-cycle occupation total of $9,547,759 ($9.55 million). Home builder, contractor, and construction remain other keys. The join does not verify licenses or that the filer still built during 2014. The occupation is not a licensed-contractor census, a home-builder PAC, or a NAICS construction roll-up.

236 donors and a four-figure mean gift

The 2014 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Builder. $346,365 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2014. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2012 presidential window and not a later presidential cycle.

467 itemized lines from 236 unique donors is about 2.0 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $742; mean per donor about $1,468. About 2.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $346,365. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale trade-title cell in a midterm window, not a one-person stack. Three numbers define the Builder × 2014 cell: dollars $346,365, contribution rows 467, unique donors 236. Share of occupation dollars is 3.6% of $9,547,759.

What Builder dollars in 2014 are not

Matching Builder with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Builder donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a licensed-contractor census, a home-builder PAC, or a NAICS construction roll-up.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Home builder, contractor, and construction remain other keys. The join does not verify licenses or that the filer still built during 2014. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $346,365 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Builder × 2014

A complete claim names Builder and 2014, then $346,365, 467 contributions, 236 donors, and 3.6% of $9,547,759, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 236 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Builder and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $742 and mean per donor $1,468 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and General Contractor as a sibling

Builder donations holds the $9,547,759 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Builder. All occupations places BUILDER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (GENERAL CONTRACTOR, HOME BUILDER, and CONSTRUCTION). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $346,365 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $9,201,394 (96.4%) outside 2014. Most of the $9,547,759 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Do not add a 2010 Builder cell to this 2014 figure. Each cycle is a separate join against the same occupation total. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.0. That ratio is 467 divided by 236, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Builder and 2014. Quote the dollars: $346,365. Quote the volume: 467 contributions, 236 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.

Only if they typed BUILDER. GENERAL CONTRACTOR is a longer neighboring key and a different occupation page. The 2014 cycle filter on Builder is $346,365, 467 contributions, and 236 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $9,547,759.

What share of Builder FEC money fell in 2014?

Does Builder 2014 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $346,365 is itemized receipts tagged BUILDER in 2014, not an obligation total. Cite the 2014 intersection as $346,365 and 467 contributions from 236 donors, not the $9,547,759 occupation total.
