Key figures
- General Atomics PAC received $2,459,238 from General Atomics-coded individual contributions across 6,068 itemized gifts.
- The General Atomics grouping totals $6,115,776, so this committee accounts for about 40.2% of that labeled money.
- 6,068 lines average about $405 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical small gift.
- GENERAL ATOMICS is FEC stored text, not a certified NAICS sector or unique-donor census.
- Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.
6,068 itemized gifts totaling $2,459,238 into General Atomics PAC
General Atomics is the grouped employer or occupation key. GENERAL ATOMICS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE is committee C00215285. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to GENERAL ATOMICS and whose recipient is that committee. The $2,459,238 figure is the intersection.
6,068 contributions averaging about $405 ($2,459,238 ÷ 6,068) describe a high-volume itemized book (typical of many small repeat receipts) with a $405 mean. The packet does not name the 6,068 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census.
The join exists so the industry hub ($6,115,776) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00215285 is the FEC committee ID on this URL. Independent expenditures stay outside $2,459,238.
General Atomics as stored FEC employer text
GENERAL ATOMICS is filer-entered text. a defense-and-energy employer string that often sits beside a connected PAC of the same name. GENERAL ATOMICS AERONAUTICAL and GA-ASI can sit on other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $6,115,776.
Occupation strings without this employer key sit on occupation hubs. This URL is General Atomics × General Atomics PAC, an industry-to-committee join, not an industry-to-cycle cell. Open the General Atomics industry hub for the $6,115,776 employer total and other committees.
