LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION EMPLOYEES' POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

A connected-PAC join, not a company donation

LOCKHEED MARTIN is the employer string. C00303024 is the employees’ political action committee of Lockheed Martin Corporation. This page reports where those two FEC dimensions overlap: individual gifts whose employer field grouped to LOCKHEED MARTIN and whose recipient is that PAC. The $9,752,781 figure is the intersection.

Connected PACs typically receive voluntary itemized gifts from people associated with the sponsoring firm. FEC individual records still do not prove that every LOCKHEED MARTIN-coded donor was on payroll, that the company reimbursed the gift, or that the PAC spent the money on any particular race. The join is a field match. Independent expenditures by the PAC, if any, are other filings.

Name similarity between employer and committee is expected for an employees’ PAC. Similarity is not a second dataset. It is why researchers need an explicit join instead of assuming the industry hub and the PAC hub are the same list.

LOCKHEED MARTIN dollars outside this PAC

The employer grouping shows $15,736,045 in itemized individual money. The employees’ PAC cell is $9,752,781, or about 62% of that total. Roughly 38% of LOCKHEED MARTIN-coded individual receipts went to other committees — candidate accounts, party committees, or other PACs. Those dollars remain on the industry hub and are not in these 91,486 rows.

Treat the 62% share as a concentration statistic, not as evidence that the firm ran a single political program. Filers who listed LOCKHEED MARTIN, LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP, or a business-unit name may land in adjacent keys if stored separately. This page stays on the LOCKHEED MARTIN bucket as indexed.

Questions

How much did Lockheed Martin-coded donors give the employees’ PAC?

FEC.gov aggregates show $9,752,781 in itemized individual contributions grouped to LOCKHEED MARTIN and received by LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION EMPLOYEES' POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00303024). That join covers 91,486 contributions. The employer grouping across all committees is $15,736,045. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What share of Lockheed Martin FEC individual money went to this PAC?

About 62% of the $15,736,045 LOCKHEED MARTIN employer total is in this join: $9,752,781 to C00303024. The leftover share went to other committees. A majority share describes overlap, not a finding that the company directed every gift.

Is the employees’ PAC the same as Lockheed Martin corporate spending?

No. This page is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to LOCKHEED MARTIN and whose recipient is C00303024. Corporate treasury activity and independent expenditures are other FEC categories. The join does not merge those documents into the $9,752,781.

Do these PAC gifts fund Lockheed Martin federal contracts?

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing an employer name does not create a funding pipeline. This tie page reports only the employer-committee intersection on itemized individual receipts.
