How much have GENERAL ELECTRIC CO-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $13,679,946 to the GENERAL ELECTRIC CO employer string, from 19,783 contributions and 971 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS industrial total. Unitemized gifts 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 GE corporate political spending?

No. The $13,679,946 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. Spin-off company names typed differently are 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.

Does this include everyone who works at GE HealthCare or GE Vernova?

Only if a receipt’s grouped text is GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Current legal names of spun-off companies, if typed that way, are other keys. Staff who wrote only ENGINEER are in that occupation-style row. The 971 donors are unique contributors in this string.

Key figures

GENERAL ELECTRIC CO as FEC employer text totals $13,679,946 from 971 donors.
19,783 contribution lines sit under that firm string.
GE abbreviations and spin-off legal names, if typed differently, are other keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

A historic ticker-style firm stamp

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO is the form committees stored, including the CO suffix. The $13,679,946 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 GE, GENERAL ELECTRIC without CO, GE HEALTHCARE, or ENGINEER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode spin-off legal names into this key.

971 donors and 19,783 lines

971 unique donors produced 19,783 GENERAL ELECTRIC CO contribution lines totaling $13,679,946. That is a smaller unique-person set than Honeywell’s 3,435 or Ernst & Young’s 4,224 at similar-to-higher dollars. Receipts per donor run near 20. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. Successor-company PAC filings are other documents unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.
