General Contractor donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Why General Contractor and 2014 share a page

General Contractor pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2014 pages without this string mix every occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $479,355 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged GENERAL CONTRACTOR in 2014. 445 contributions and 240 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is filer-entered. The Commission does not certify that each filer held that title or used a standardized job code. Contractor, builder, construction, and GC remain other keys. A state contractor-license roster, a NAICS construction rollup, or a bonding-company census would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $8,993,979 on the occupation hub and keep the 2014 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $479,355. GENERAL CONTRACTOR in 2014 is a midterm cell. Builder and contractor without general are other keys.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR in a midterm window

$8,993,979 is the all-cycle total stored for GENERAL CONTRACTOR. Subtract $479,355 and $8,514,624 remains in other cycles (94.7%). 2014 therefore accounts for 5.3% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 5.3% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2014 campaign. It is $479,355 divided by $8,993,979. The occupation hub is where the other windows live. GENERAL CONTRACTOR in 2014 is a midterm cell. Builder and contractor without general are other keys. Neighbors include contractor, builder, construction, and GC.

445 contributions from 240 donors

445 itemized contributions and 240 unique donors sit behind $479,355. Average gift size is about $1,077; average dollars per donor about $1,997; lines per donor about 1.9. Averages hide skew. 240 donors is a mid-size cell on this table.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for General Contractor. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. GENERAL CONTRACTOR in 2014 is a midterm cell. Builder and contractor without general are other keys.

The two-year 2014 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2014 covers that even-year midterm window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $479,355. This packet does not split those years.

The 2014 hub is the place to see every other occupation string that year. This page keeps the General Contractor filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2014 giving is claimed.

2014 cell versus neighboring titles and PACs

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $479,355. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not a state contractor-license roster, a NAICS construction rollup, or a bonding-company census.

Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 240 donors, and 445 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citation template for General Contractor × 2014

Citation template: General Contractor, 2014, $479,355, 445 contributions, 240 donors, 5.3% of $8,993,979, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

The 5.3% share, the 240-donor count, and the $1,077 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
