How much have UPS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,361,241 to the UPS employer string, from 22,699 contributions and 682 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 UNITED PARCEL SERVICE included?

Only if those receipts grouped to the three-letter UPS key. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE and UPS INC are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.4M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to UPS. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include FEDERAL EXPRESS employees?

No. FEDERAL EXPRESS is a separate employer string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text UPS. 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 UPS?

The rollup counts 682 donors and 22,699 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.

UPS money in federal elections

Filers who listed UPS on federal campaign reports account for $3.4M ($3,361,241) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 22,699 contributions and 682 donors. UPS is the three-letter parcel brand as typed, not a NAICS couriers-and-express-delivery total, not UPS’s PAC, and not UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, UPS INC, or FEDERAL EXPRESS as sibling carrier strings.

Key figures

UPS as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,361,241) from 682 donors.
22,699 contribution lines sit under that three-letter parcel brand.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE and FEDERAL EXPRESS are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Three-letter brand, not a parcel-sector recode

Six hundred eighty-two unique donors produced 22,699 contributions totaling $3,361,241. About 33 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $148 describe the arithmetic. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE spelled out, UPS INC, UPS GROUND, and FEDERAL EXPRESS can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,361,241 unless they grouped to UPS.

Top employer matches UPS. The FEC field records what was typed, not a securities-filing legal name. LobbyVault does not recode UNITED PARCEL SERVICE into this three-letter brand. Researchers who want a combined UPS family must recode after export. The 22,699-line count is consistent with repeat payroll-style itemizations under a short carrier stamp.

682 donors and 22,699 lines

22,699 lines from 682 people is a thick receipt pattern. Mean per donor is about $4,928. Repeat payroll deductions can inflate contribution counts without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a driver-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 $3,361,241 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE and FEDERAL EXPRESS stay separate

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, FEDERAL EXPRESS, FEDEX, and DRIVER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with UPS would mix a three-letter brand, a spelled-out legal name, a rival carrier, and a craft title. This page reports $3,361,241 for UPS only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the brand. DRIVER, PACKAGE HANDLER, and MANAGER exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of UPS.

Donor table without hub inference

The UPS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a hub, a route, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the three-letter 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 guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the brand. Repeat names among 22,699 lines from 682 people are expected. People who typed UNITED PARCEL SERVICE are not in these 682 unless a receipt also grouped to UPS.

Three-letter UPS versus UNITED PARCEL SERVICE and FedEx

UPS keyed $3.4M from 22,699 contributions and 682 donors. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE and FEDERAL EXPRESS remain other keys. The 682 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the company’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the brand.

Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.4M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.
