HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL as FEC employer text: $20.8 million

A company name in the industry ranking

The industry table mixes job titles with firm names. HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL is the latter: grouped employer text on individual Schedule A lines. The $20,781,402 figure is the sum of those itemized gifts. It is not Honeywell’s disclosed PAC spending, not a count of current employees, and not a NAICS 336 or 334 rollup of the aerospace and automation sectors.

People who typed HONEYWELL without INTERNATIONAL, a subsidiary legal name, or a job title such as ENGINEER without the firm, sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this key.

3,435 donors and 266,413 lines

3,435 unique donors produced 266,413 HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL contribution lines totaling $20,781,402. That is on the order of 78 itemized receipts per donor — a paperwork volume typical of many small, repeated itemized gifts rather than a handful of very large checks. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field, so this page does not treat 78 as an official average ticket.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s separate committee filings are outside the $20,781,402. Unitemized gifts under the federal threshold never appear.

Defense and industrial siblings are other keys

LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and NORTHROP GRUMMAN are separate employer-name rows, each with its own dollar total and line count. Combining them with HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL would be a researcher-built defense-contractor recode, not the FEC’s stored text. This page stays at $20,781,402 for HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the firm name — engineer, manager, and other words as typed. Those occupation strings also exist as industry keys when donors put the title in the employer box instead of the company.

Reading the donor table

The HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a federal contract ID, a lobbying registration, or a motive to that line. Former employees who still type the firm name share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR export.

Repeat names are expected: 266,413 lines from 3,435 people. Payroll-deduction style itemization and recurring online gifts can both produce that shape. This page does not split those mechanisms because the packet does not.

Because 266,413 lines sit on only 3,435 unique donors, the HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL table will repeat names. That repetition is the filing pattern behind $20,781,402, not evidence of a mean gift the packet omitted. Unitemized gifts and the company PAC remain outside the total. LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and NORTHROP GRUMMAN keep their own contractor pages with different line-to-donor ratios. ENGINEER as an industry key still holds staff who skipped the firm name. Occupation pages show titles beside HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL. Follow committees on the donor table for party and office. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS manufacturing.

Payroll-style volume and what the $20,781,402 omits

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL’s 266,413 contribution lines from 3,435 donors are the striking filing pattern beside $20,781,402. That is on the order of 78 itemized receipts per unique person — paperwork volume in the same family as BOEING and NORTHROP GRUMMAN rows, not the sparse 211-donor SALOMON BROTHERS cluster. Many small, repeated itemized gifts can produce that ratio. The packet does not split payroll deduction from online recurring gifts, so this page does not either.

The $20,781,402 figure still excludes unitemized money, state filings, independent expenditures that lack this employer string, and the company’s own committee PAC reports. It also excludes people who typed HONEYWELL without INTERNATIONAL, a subsidiary legal name, or ENGINEER without the firm. LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and NORTHROP GRUMMAN remain separate contractor keys with their own dollar, line, and donor counts.

The donor table lists disclosed names and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a federal contract ID.

Questions

How much have HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $20,781,402 to the HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL employer string, from 266,413 contributions and 3,435 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS manufacturing total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is this Honeywell corporate political spending?

No. The $20,781,402 total is itemized individual contributions whose employer text grouped to HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. LobbyVault does not fold those documents into this industry row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Why are there 266,413 contributions from only 3,435 donors?

Each itemized gift is a line. Repeat donations from the same 3,435 people produce the 266,413 receipt count. Many small, recurring itemized gifts can create that ratio. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Does this include Lockheed, Boeing, or Northrop employees?

No. LOCKHEED MARTIN, BOEING, and NORTHROP GRUMMAN are separate employer strings with their own pages. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL. Staff who typed only ENGINEER or a subsidiary name are in other rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
