NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION

$5,071,093 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the Norfolk Southern Corporation grouping and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION GOOD GOVERNMENT FUND (C00009282). That cell covers 45,489 contributions. The grouping totals $5,647,909; this committee is 89.8% of that labeled book. This connected PAC is not Norfolk Southern’s freight revenue and not every NS or Norfolk Southern spelling without CORPORATION.

Key figures

  • Norfolk Southern Good Government Fund received $5,071,093 from Norfolk Southern Corporation-coded individual contributions across 45,489 itemized gifts.
  • The Norfolk Southern Corporation grouping totals $5,647,909, so this committee accounts for about 89.8% of that labeled money.
  • 45,489 lines average about $111 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical small gift.
  • Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.

Norfolk Southern Corporation meeting its Good Government Fund

Norfolk Southern Corporation is the grouped employer or occupation key. NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION GOOD GOVERNMENT FUND is committee C00009282. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION and whose recipient is that committee. The $5,071,093 figure is the intersection.

45,489 contributions averaging about $111 ($5,071,093 ÷ 45,489) describe a high-volume connected-PAC cell with a three-digit mean gift. Railroad connected PACs often collect from employees. FEC individual records still do not prove payroll deduction, reimbursement, or current employment. Name overlap between the corporation and the PAC is expected.

The join exists so the industry hub ($5,647,909) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00009282 is the FEC committee ID on this URL.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION as employer text

NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION is filer-entered text. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, and a railway suffix can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $5,647,909.

Alumni and spouses who type the railroad can share the string with current staff. The FEC does not certify a headcount of Norfolk Southern’s workforce from 45,489 contribution lines.
