FEDERAL EXPRESS money in federal elections

Contributors who listed FEDERAL EXPRESS on federal itemized receipts account for $3.3M ($3,333,331), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 7,244 contributions from 238 donors. FEDERAL EXPRESS is the two-word carrier stamp as typed, not a NAICS couriers-and-express-delivery total, not FedEx’s PAC, and not FEDEX, FEDEX CORPORATION, or UPS as sibling carrier strings.

Key figures

  • FEDERAL EXPRESS as FEC employer text totals $3.3M ($3,333,331) from 238 donors.
  • 7,244 contribution lines sit under that spelled-out two-word carrier stamp.
  • FEDEX and UPS are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Two-word FEDERAL EXPRESS, not a courier-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. FEDERAL EXPRESS is the carrier as committees stored it, spelled out rather than abbreviated. The $3,333,331 total is those itemized gifts. It is not parcel revenue, not a hub-count, and not a NAICS rollup of all express carriers.

People who typed FEDEX, FEDEX CORPORATION, FEDEX EXPRESS, UPS, or DRIVER without the two-word stamp sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined FedEx family must recode after export. Top employer matches FEDERAL EXPRESS. Two hundred thirty-eight unique people is a narrower roster than the UPS three-letter stamp at similar dollars.

238 donors and 7,244 lines

238 unique donors produced 7,244 FEDERAL EXPRESS contribution lines totaling $3,333,331. That is on the order of 30 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $460. Mean per donor is about $14,006 — among the higher per-person means in this packet wave, driven by fewer unique donors. The packet does not publish a pilot-versus-hub split or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,333,331 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

FEDEX and UPS stay separate

FEDEX, FEDEX CORPORATION, UPS, and DRIVER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with FEDERAL EXPRESS would mix a spelled-out stamp, a four-letter brand, a legal-suffix spelling, a rival three-letter carrier, and a craft title. This page stays at $3,333,331 for FEDERAL EXPRESS only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the two-word carrier. PILOT, DRIVER, and MANAGER exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of FEDERAL EXPRESS. State filings are omitted from the $3,333,331.

Donor table without hub inference

The FEDERAL EXPRESS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a hub, a sort facility, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the two-word stamp share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the carrier stamp. Repeat names among 7,244 lines from 238 people are expected. People who typed FEDEX are not in these 238 unless a receipt also grouped to FEDERAL EXPRESS.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $3,333,331, 7,244 contributions, 238 donors, top employer FEDERAL EXPRESS. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts. State filings are omitted.

The ranking uses FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Open FEDEX as a sibling four-letter page if it exists. Use occupation breakdowns for titles stored next to this employer. About 30 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $460 are arithmetic on the packet.

Spelled-out FEDERAL EXPRESS versus FEDEX and UPS

FEDERAL EXPRESS keyed $3.3M from 7,244 contributions and 238 donors. FEDEX and UPS remain other keys. The 238 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the company’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the two-word stamp.

Keep $3,333,331, 7,244 contributions, and 238 donors on this spelled-out spelling. Unitemized gifts and company PAC documents remain omitted. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages.

Read $3,333,331 as the FEDERAL EXPRESS cluster only. About 30 gifts per person, a mean gift near $460, and about $14,006 per donor are packet arithmetic. Fewer unique donors than the UPS three-letter stamp at similar dollars raise the per-person mean; the packet does not publish a pilot-versus-hub split. Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.3M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

LobbyVault does not recode FEDEX into this spelled-out key. The FEC field is not a NAICS couriers-and-express-delivery total. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Open the FEDERAL EXPRESS donor table for line-level detail. All industries lists other carrier-employer strings without merging them here.

Questions

How much have FEDERAL EXPRESS-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $3,333,331 to the FEDERAL EXPRESS employer string, from 7,244 contributions and 238 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS couriers total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is FEDEX included in this total?
Only if those receipts grouped to FEDERAL EXPRESS. FEDEX and FEDEX CORPORATION are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.3M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to FEDERAL EXPRESS. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
Does this include UPS employees?
No. UPS is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text FEDERAL EXPRESS. Staff who typed only DRIVER are in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
How many unique donors listed FEDERAL EXPRESS?
The rollup counts 238 donors and 7,244 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
