GENERAL ELECTRIC money in federal elections
Contributors who listed GENERAL ELECTRIC on federal itemized receipts account for $3.4M ($3,353,105), according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 10,693 contributions from 422 donors. GENERAL ELECTRIC is the two-word conglomerate brand as typed — without a CO suffix — not a NAICS conglomerate total, not GE’s PAC, and not GENERAL ELECTRIC CO, GE, GE HEALTHCARE, or GE VERNOVA as sibling strings.
Key figures
- GENERAL ELECTRIC as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,353,105) from 422 donors.
- 10,693 contribution lines sit under that two-word brand without a CO suffix.
- GENERAL ELECTRIC CO, GE, and GE HEALTHCARE are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.
Two-word brand without CO, not a conglomerate recode
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. GENERAL ELECTRIC is the form committees stored, without a CO suffix. The $3,353,105 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not General Electric’s disclosed PAC spending, not industrial revenue, and not a NAICS rollup of aviation, power, and health-care units that later became separate public companies.
People who typed GENERAL ELECTRIC CO, GE, GE HEALTHCARE, GE VERNOVA, or ENGINEER without the two-word brand sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode the CO-suffixed sibling or spin-off legal names into this key. Researchers who want a combined GE family must recode after export. Top employer matches GENERAL ELECTRIC.
422 donors and 10,693 lines
422 unique donors produced 10,693 GENERAL ELECTRIC contribution lines totaling $3,353,105. That is on the order of 25 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $314. Mean per donor is about $7,946. The packet does not publish a power-versus-aviation 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 $3,353,105 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO and GE stay separate
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO, GE, GE HEALTHCARE, and ENGINEER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with GENERAL ELECTRIC would mix a two-word brand, a CO-suffixed legal stamp, a two-letter ticker, a spin-off name, and a craft title. This page stays at $3,353,105 for GENERAL ELECTRIC only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside the two-word brand. ENGINEER, MANAGER, and TECHNICIAN exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of GENERAL ELECTRIC. State filings are omitted from the $3,353,105.
Donor table without unit inference
The GENERAL ELECTRIC donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a business unit, a spin-off, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the two-word brand 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 brand. Repeat names among 10,693 lines from 422 people are expected. People who typed GENERAL ELECTRIC CO are not in these 422 unless a receipt also grouped to GENERAL ELECTRIC.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $3,353,105, 10,693 contributions, 422 donors, top employer GENERAL ELECTRIC. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts. State filings are omitted.

Two-word GENERAL ELECTRIC versus the CO-suffixed sibling
GENERAL ELECTRIC keyed $3.4M from 10,693 contributions and 422 donors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO and GE remain other keys. The 422 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the company’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the two-word brand.
Keep $3,353,105, 10,693 contributions, and 422 donors on this unsuffixed spelling. GE HEALTHCARE and GE VERNOVA stay on their own pages if stored that way. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. Unitemized gifts remain omitted.
Read $3,353,105 as the GENERAL ELECTRIC cluster only. About 25 gifts per person, a mean gift near $314, and about $7,946 per donor are packet arithmetic. Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.4M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO is a different key with its own overlay; this page does not add the two.
LobbyVault does not recode the CO suffix or spin-off legal names into this two-word brand. The FEC field is not a NAICS conglomerate total. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Questions
- How much have GENERAL ELECTRIC-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,353,105 to the GENERAL ELECTRIC employer string, from 10,693 contributions and 422 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS conglomerate total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is GENERAL ELECTRIC CO included?
- Only if those receipts grouped to GENERAL ELECTRIC without the CO suffix. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO is a separate grouped key if filers used that stamp. The $3.4M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to GENERAL ELECTRIC. LobbyVault does not merge the CO sibling into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include GE HealthCare or GE Vernova staff?
- Only if the grouped employer text is GENERAL ELECTRIC. GE HEALTHCARE and GE VERNOVA are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the two-word brand. Staff who typed only ENGINEER sit in that title row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed GENERAL ELECTRIC?
- The rollup counts 422 donors and 10,693 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.
