US Government political money in the 2014 FEC cycle

2014 names an FEC even-year cycle, January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of 2014. Inside that window, receipts tagged US Government sum to $245,501 (355 lines, 142 harvested donors). The US Government hub across cycles is $9,651,418. This page exists because those two dimensions meet, not because one hub needed a restatement.

Key figures

  • US Government in 2014: $245,501 on 355 receipts from 142 harvested donors.
  • US Government all-cycle grouping in this extract: $9,651,418.
  • 2014 is 2.5% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
  • Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.

A generic federal-employer string in 2014

In 2014, receipts tagged US GOVERNMENT sum to $245,501 on 355 itemized lines from 142 harvested donors. About $692 per receipt is $245,501 divided by 355. About $1,729 per harvested donor is $245,501 divided by 142. Lines per donor average about 2.5. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2014 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

Open the US Government 2014 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the US Government industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2014 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $245,501 when the sentence is about 2014. Quote $9,651,418 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

142 donors on 355 itemized lines

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping US Government and even-year election cycle 2014. $245,501 is the intersection. $9,651,418 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 355 is the 2014 line count. The 2014 donor count is 142 (142 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

The US Government grouping across harvested cycles

The parent grouping indexes $9,651,418 ($9.65 million rounded). 2014’s $245,501 is 2.5% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $245,501. Do not invent a 2012 or 2016 total from these facts. The leftover $9,405,917 sits in other harvested years under the same US Government key.

355 lines from 142 donors is a mid-scale generic-employer cell, not an agency budget line. US GOVERNMENT is filer-entered employer text. It is not USAspending obligations and not an agency transfer.

2.5% is $245,501 divided by $9,651,418. Rounding to $245,501 and $9.65 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Do not print a 2014 share of all US politics from $245,501. The denominator for 2.5% is $9,651,418, the US Government grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.

An employer stub is not an appropriation

It is not a federal appropriation, an OPM headcount, or a finding that the United States as an entity gave. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $245,501. State-office campaigns never enter $245,501. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 355 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the US Government 2014 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Employer strings are filer-entered. US Government captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. U.S. GOVERNMENT, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and named-agency employer strings can sit on other keys. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with US Government are a different schedule and are not inside $245,501 or $9,651,418.

Comparing US Government in 2014 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2014 is a different page — the 2014 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite US Government × 2014

Citation template: employer/industry grouping US Government, election cycle 2014, $245,501 on 355 itemized individual contributions from 142 harvested donors, which is 2.5% of the grouping’s harvested $9,651,418 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

The US Government 2014 overlay is the live table for this cut. The US Government industry page is the parent grouping at $9,651,418. The 2014 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $245,501. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $245,501 into USAspending obligations.

Keep the unit explicit. US Government is an employer/industry string. 2014 is an FEC two-year cycle. $245,501 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 142 harvested donors. 355 is the line count. $9,651,418 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.
