Civil Engineer money in the 2014 FEC cycle

Donors coded CIVIL ENGINEER accounted for $406,718 ($406,718) in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 446 itemized contributions and 234 donors. Occupation-wide, Civil Engineer is $7,540,113. 2014 accounts for 5.4% of the Civil Engineer occupation total ($406,718 of $7,540,113). Most Civil Engineer-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. LobbyVault joins the occupation table to the cycle table. It does not rank occupations by influence.

Key figures

  • $406,718 joins the Civil Engineer occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
  • 446 contributions from 234 donors produced that cell.
  • 2014 is about 5.4% of the occupation’s $7,540,113 lifetime total.
  • CIVIL ENGINEER is a filer-entered title, not a state PE-license extract.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Civil Engineer as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation CIVIL ENGINEER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $406,718 ($406,718), 446 contributions, and 234 donors. 5.4% of Civil Engineer occupation dollars ($7,540,113) fall in 2014. 2014 is a midterm engineering-title cell: 446 receipts from 234 donors, a later even-year slice of the same CIVIL ENGINEER string that also has a 2010 join.

Civil Engineer is a two-word engineering title as typed, not a PE recode. Nearby strings — ENGINEER, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, PE, and CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $406,718 or $7,540,113. Engineer without Civil is a broader key; Structural Engineer, if stored, sits elsewhere. The FEC file does not verify a PE stamp, an EIT, or an employer.

The CIVIL ENGINEER string across cycles

On the occupation side, $7,540,113 ($7.5 million) is the Civil Engineer total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 5.4% of that roll; the remaining $7,133,395 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Civil Engineer is not a DOT project list and not a named-firm partnership census. Civil Engineer is not a state PE-license extract, an ASCE membership roll, or a public-works staff roster.

Open Civil Engineer donations for the $7,540,113 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2014 cell, 446 itemized contributions map to 234 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $912; dollars per donor average about $1,738. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Civil Engineer row. 234 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $406,718.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $406,718 attached to 2014 and $7,540,113 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($7,133,395) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $406,718 with both nouns: Civil Engineer and 2014.

What a Civil Engineer cycle join cannot claim

Matching Civil Engineer with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Civil Engineer donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a state PE-license extract, an ASCE membership roll, or a public-works staff roster.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $406,718. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked civil-engineer hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Civil Engineer donations holds the $7,540,113 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Civil Engineer. All occupations places CIVIL ENGINEER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (ENGINEER, STRUCTURAL ENGINEER, PE, and CONSTRUCTION ENGINEER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $406,718 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Civil Engineer dollars ($7,540,113). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $406,718, 446 contributions, 234 donors, 5.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $406,718; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $7,540,113. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Civil Engineer-labeled donors give in 2014?
The Civil Engineer grouping’s 2014 cell is $406,718 in itemized individual contributions, from 446 contributions and 234 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $7,540,113 all-cycle occupation total.
Are these licensed professional engineers?
Occupation is CIVIL ENGINEER. The FEC file does not check a PE license. Engineer, Structural Engineer, and Construction Engineer are other keys. This join does not recode those titles into CIVIL ENGINEER or confirm a public-works or private-design desk.
What share of Civil Engineer FEC money fell in 2014?
About 5.4%. $406,718 divided by $7,540,113 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $7,133,395 on the occupation hub. See the Civil Engineer occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
Does Civil Engineer 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. $406,718 is itemized receipts tagged CIVIL ENGINEER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
