HARRIS CORPORATION

Contributors who listed HARRIS CORPORATION on federal itemized receipts account for $5,081,967, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 15,195 contributions from 817 donors. HARRIS CORPORATION is the two-word electronics-employer string as typed, not a NAICS communications-equipment total, not the company’s PAC, and not a recode of later L3HARRIS or HARRIS brand spellings. Unitemized gifts stay outside the $5,081,967.

Key figures

  • HARRIS CORPORATION as FEC employer text totals $5,081,967 from 817 donors.
  • 15,195 contribution lines sit under that two-word electronics string.
  • L3HARRIS and HARRIS are separate keys if stored that way.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or company PAC total.

Two-word corporation name as stored

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. HARRIS CORPORATION is the long form as stored. The $5,081,967 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not contract obligated dollars, not a DoD vendor file, and not a NAICS rollup of all electronics employers. People who typed HARRIS, L3HARRIS, L3 HARRIS, or HARRIS CORP sit in other rows if stored that way.

The FEC field is not a human-resources export across radio, avionics, and corporate payrolls. Alumni who still type HARRIS CORPORATION remain in the 817. LobbyVault does not recode successor or abbreviated spellings into this two-word label. Occupation pages show titles stored beside the employer.

817 donors and 15,195 lines

817 unique donors produced 15,195 HARRIS CORPORATION contribution lines totaling $5,081,967. That is on the order of 19 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among engineering, manufacturing, and corporate staff.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $5,081,967 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 15,195 lines from 817 people are expected.

Questions

How much have HARRIS CORPORATION-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $5,081,967 to the HARRIS CORPORATION employer string, from 15,195 contributions and 817 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS electronics total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Is this Harris or L3Harris corporate political spending?
No. The $5,081,967 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to HARRIS CORPORATION. Corporate treasury and committee PAC filings are other FEC categories. L3HARRIS is a separate key if stored that way. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
Does this include people who wrote L3Harris?
Only if the grouped employer text is HARRIS CORPORATION. L3HARRIS and HARRIS are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the two-word corporation string. Staff who typed ENGINEER without the company sit in occupation-style rows instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
How many unique donors listed HARRIS CORPORATION?
The rollup counts 817 donors and 15,195 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.

Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
