Contractor donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Contractor dollars on a 2010 clock

CONTRACTOR plus cycle 2010 equals $1,696,246. This 2010 URL does not import other even-year contractor amounts; those amounts are not in this packet. General contractor and independent contractor remain other keys.

Parent hubs: Contractor donations and the 2010 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps each cycle’s contractor cell on its own path.

The occupation hub for Contractor lists $30.4 million ($30,356,058) under the exact string CONTRACTOR. The 2010 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2010, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Contractor in 2010 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.7 million. The occupation page and the 2010 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

The mixed CONTRACTOR rollup

$30.4 million ($30,356,058) is the harvested total for this one-word key across cycles. The 2010 cell is 5.6% of that rollup. Building trades, IT contractors, and other senses of the word still sit in one bucket.

A midterm share near six percent is a slice of the string, not a construction-industry time series. Other years are not listed here.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,696,246. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $30,356,058. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Contractor donations and the live 2010 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,696,246. If a later harvest revises 1,897 or 1,065, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($30,356,058) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

1,065 Contractor donors in 2010

1,065 donors and 1,897 receipts — about 1.8 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $894; mean per donor about $1,593. A 1,065-donor midterm file is broader than many title strings. Broad is a count. No median.

Repeat itemizations inflate 1,897 faster than 1,065. Joint fundraising memos can add lines without adding people.

1,897 is a receipt count. 1,065 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.7 million.

Still not USAspending

Cite $1,696,246 as Contractor individual contributions in 2010. Cite $30,356,058 as the occupation-string total. Do not add federal award dollars. This packet has no USAspending fields.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring trade titles.

Dividing $1,696,246 by 1,897 receipts yields about $894 per line. Dividing by 1,065 donors yields about $1,593 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Same caveats, this cycle only

Contractor does not mean bonded builder or registered federal vendor. It means the form said CONTRACTOR in a 2010 receipt. Filers who wrote construction or builder are outside $1.7 million.

No claim that donations funded contracts, no party split, no ranking of trades. 1,897 receipts and 1,065 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode CONTRACTOR into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
