SSGT occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle
$4,272,700 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for occupation SSGT. FEC.gov aggregates count 21 contributions from 1 donor. The same string totals $5,337,836 across every cycle in this table, so 2014 holds about 80.0% of the occupation bucket. The word on the form is a self-reported occupation, not a Department of Defense payroll or a service census. This page joins that string to cycle 2014.
Key figures
- $4,272,700 joins the SSGT occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
- 21 contributions from 1 donor produced that cell.
- 2014 is about 80.0% of the occupation’s $5,337,836 lifetime total.
- SSGT is a filer-entered title, not a Department of Defense payroll or a service census.
SSGT as typed occupation, 2014 as cycle
Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string SSGT. The other is the 2014 federal election cycle. The match is $4,272,700, built from 21 contributions and 1 unique donor. Drop either key and the number changes. Twenty-one contributions from a single donor ID is concentration, not a unit roster. LobbyVault does not name that donor on this relationship page. The occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub hold the live rows.
Average contribution is about $203,462; average per donor is about $4,272,700. Those means are arithmetic on the 2014 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 21.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.
A rank abbreviation, not a personnel file
SSGT is the occupation string as entered on itemized receipts. The extract does not expand it to a spelled-out rank, does not verify duty status, and does not merge STAFF SERGEANT or USAF if those strings sit elsewhere. A service-branch word on an employer field would be a different grouping.
$5,337,836 is every cycle combined for SSGT. $4,272,700 in 2014 is about 80.0% of that stack. Other windows hold about 20.0% ($1,065,136). A cycle cell at 80.0% is a chapter, not the occupation’s full FEC history. Other rank abbreviations and spelled-out military titles are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys.
One donor and 21 gifts in 2014
One unique donor against 21 contributions implies some repeat giving inside the 2014 window. Primaries, generals, and multiple committees all add rows. One person can appear more than once if addresses or names vary. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $4,272,700.
A title on a form is not an employment verification. People using a household occupation, a retired title, or a short status word can all land in the same cell. LobbyVault does not recode SSGT into a NAICS industry or a licensing roster. Recipients of the campaign gifts live on the occupation hub and the 2014 cycle hub.
About 80% of the SSGT occupation stack
80.0% is $4,272,700 divided by $5,337,836. Reading only 2014 understates the parent occupation book. Reading only the parent hides that this cycle’s share is 80.0%. The leftover outside 2014 is $1,065,136. Those other-cycle dollars are not itemized on this relationship page.
Presidential-year and midterm windows are different FEC two-year clocks. This page cites cycle 2014 only. A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $5,337,836 is shared.
What an SSGT–2014 join cannot claim
Do not read $4.3 million as a Pentagon appropriation or as Hatch Act evidence. This page does not litigate employment rules. USAspending obligations tagged to a military department are a different dataset and are not in this packet.
The page does not identify employers, does not convert occupation text into a corporate gift, and does not link FEC receipts to USAspending obligations. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. Correlation between a job title and a cycle total is not causation. Cite $4,272,700, 21 contributions, and 1 donor for SSGT in 2014. Cite $5,337,836 for the all-cycle occupation grouping. Name FEC.gov.

Questions
- How much did SSGT-labeled donors give in 2014?
- The SSGT grouping’s 2014 cell is $4,272,700 in itemized individual contributions, from 21 contributions and 1 donor, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,337,836 all-cycle occupation total.
- Does one donor mean one person in uniform?
- No. This cell is the self-reported string SSGT matched to cycle 2014. Other rank abbreviations and spelled-out military titles are other keys if stored separately. The FEC does not verify that the title matches a license or payroll. See the SSGT occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
- What share of SSGT FEC money fell in 2014?
- About 80.0%. $4,272,700 divided by $5,337,836 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 20.0% ($1,065,136) on the occupation hub. See the SSGT occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
- Do these gifts fund Defense Department 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. $4,272,700 is itemized receipts tagged SSGT in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts never enter this cell. FEC.gov is the source.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
