FIRSTENERGY CORP.

$4,195,325 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the Firstenergy grouping and FIRSTENERGY CORP POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00140855). That cell covers 30,596 contributions. The grouping totals $4,453,181; this committee is 94.2% of that labeled book. This connected PAC is about 94.2% of the FIRSTENERGY grouping โ€” not utility operating revenue and not every FirstEnergy Corp or operating-company spelling.

Key figures

  • FirstEnergy Corp PAC received $4,195,325 from Firstenergy-coded individual contributions across 30,596 itemized gifts.
  • The Firstenergy grouping totals $4,453,181, so this committee accounts for about 94.2% of that labeled money.
  • 30,596 lines average about $137 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.

Firstenergy meeting FirstEnergy Corp PAC

Firstenergy is the grouped employer or occupation key. FIRSTENERGY CORP POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE is committee C00140855. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to FIRSTENERGY and whose recipient is that committee. The $4,195,325 figure is the intersection.

30,596 contributions averaging about $137 ($4,195,325 รท 30,596) describe a high-volume utility connected-PAC cell with a three-digit mean gift. Thirty thousand five hundred ninety-six lines averaging about $137 are the shape of repeated modest itemized PAC gifts. FEC records still do not prove payroll deduction. Name overlap between FIRSTENERGY and the PAC is expected.

The join exists so the industry hub ($4,453,181) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00140855 is the FEC committee ID on this URL.

FIRSTENERGY as employer text

FIRSTENERGY is filer-entered text. FIRST ENERGY as two words, FIRSTENERGY CORP, and an operating-company name can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $4,453,181.

The packet stores FIRSTENERGY as one word. FIRST ENERGY as two words, if present, is another key. This page does not merge those spellings into $4,453,181. Occupations such as lineman without this employer are other hubs.

Questions

How much did Firstenergy-coded donors give FirstEnergy Corp PAC?
FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $4,195,325 coded to the Firstenergy grouping and received by FIRSTENERGY CORP POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00140855). That join covers 30,596 contributions. The broader grouping across all committees is $4,453,181. These figures are not independent expenditures.
Did FirstEnergy the company donate $4,195,325?
No. The total is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to FIRSTENERGY. Mean gift size near $137 across 30,596 lines is a ratio, not a corporate treasury check. This page reports the labeled join to C00140855 only. Cite FEC.gov for $4,195,325 to FIRSTENERGY CORP POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00140855) from the Firstenergy grouping, across 30,596 itemized contributions.
What share of Firstenergy FEC money went to the PAC?
About 94.2% of the $4,453,181 Firstenergy total is in this join: $4,195,325 to FirstEnergy Corp PAC. About $257,856 went to other committees. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that the labeled entity directed the gifts.
Are 30,596 contributions 30,596 employees?
The packet lists 30,596 itemized contribution lines totaling $4,195,325, about $137 per line. That is a receipt count, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are not in this join. Use the C00140855 hub for other receipt types.
