Real estate developer donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Developer title × 2014

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER plus cycle 2014 equals $1,612,707. Realtor, real estate investor, and developer without the modifier are other keys. This page does not build a property-sector total from those rows.

A 2.7% midterm share of a $59.7 million bucket can look small as a percentage and still be $1.6 million in disclosure dollars. Parent hubs: Real Estate Developer donations and the 2014 election cycle.

The occupation hub for Real Estate Developer lists $59.7 million ($59,673,284) under the exact string REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. The 2014 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2014, 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 Real Estate Developer in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.6 million. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

A large developer string

$59,673,284 under REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER is large relative to this 2014 cell. The word developer on FEC forms can cover homebuilders, commercial sponsors, and self-descriptions. Project lists and LLC names are not in this packet.

The 2014 remainder after this cell is other harvested cycles, not itemized here. This ties page does not invent those yearly amounts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,612,707. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $59,673,284. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Real Estate Developer donations and the live 2014 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 $1,612,707. If a later harvest revises 1,069 or 542, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($59,673,284) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

542 developer donors in 2014

542 donors and 1,069 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per donor about $2,975; mean per receipt about $1,509. A 542-donor midterm file with a $2,975 mean can be top-heavy. No median.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,069 is a line count, not 542 one-time gifts. Party and geography are not in this packet.

1,069 is a receipt count. 542 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 $1.6 million.

Small share, large occupation total

Cite $1,612,707 as Real Estate Developer in 2014. Cite $59,673,284 as the occupation-string total. Do not treat 2.7% as developers sitting out the midterm; other cycle amounts are not listed here.

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

Dividing $1,612,707 by 1,069 receipts yields about $1,509 per line. Dividing by 542 donors yields about $2,975 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.

Not a project or permit census

Real Estate Developer does not mean a building permit, a REIT, or a named project. It means the occupation box said REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. Filers who wrote builder or realtor are outside $1.6 million.

No ranking of housing markets, no party split, no claim about zoning. 1,069 receipts and 542 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER 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.

Questions

How much did real estate developers donate in 2014?

Why is the 2014 share of the occupation total so small?

2.7% is $1,612,707 divided by $59,673,284. The occupation bucket is large, so one midterm can be a small fraction of it. That is arithmetic, not a motive. Other cycle amounts are not in this packet and are not invented here.

Does this include builder or realtor PACs?

No. $1.6 million is individual contributions tagged Real Estate Developer. Association PACs file as committees. Mixing PAC spending with $1,612,707 would blend FEC tables. See Real Estate Developer donations or the 2014 cycle hub for committee names.
