RAYTHEON COMPANY

Contributors who listed RAYTHEON COMPANY on federal itemized receipts account for $9,184,164, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 85,157 contributions from 2,124 donors — a high receipt count relative to the dollar total. RAYTHEON COMPANY is the two-word firm spelling as typed, not a NAICS guided-missile total, and not the company’s PAC. LOCKHEED MARTIN, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and BOEING are sibling contractor rows. Packet facts for this page are $9,184,164, 85,157 contributions, and 2,124 donors, with top employer RAYTHEON COMPANY. Unitemized gifts never appear in that total. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov individual receipts, not USAspending obligations and not NAICS aerospace products.

Key figures

  • RAYTHEON COMPANY as FEC employer text totals $9,184,164 from 2,124 donors.
  • 85,157 contribution lines sit under that two-word firm string — high paperwork volume.
  • LOCKHEED MARTIN, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and BOEING are separate FEC keys.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS aerospace sector or company PAC.

A COMPANY suffix on a defense-contractor name

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. RAYTHEON COMPANY is the form committees stored when filers typed the COMPANY suffix. The $9,184,164 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not Raytheon’s disclosed PAC spending, not USAspending obligations, and not a NAICS 3364 aerospace-product rollup.

People who typed RAYTHEON without COMPANY, RTX, a missile-systems unit name, or ENGINEER without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into RAYTHEON COMPANY. Former employees who still write the two-word name remain among the 2,124.

2,124 donors and 85,157 lines

2,124 unique donors produced 85,157 RAYTHEON COMPANY contribution lines totaling $9,184,164. That is on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor — among the higher paperwork volumes in this dollar band, similar in shape to other large contractor clusters. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $9,184,164 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 85,157 lines are expected.

Questions

How much have RAYTHEON COMPANY-listed donors given federally?
LobbyVault attributes $9,184,164 to the RAYTHEON COMPANY employer string, from 85,157 contributions and 2,124 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS aerospace total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.
Is this Raytheon corporate or contract spending?
No. The $9,184,164 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to RAYTHEON COMPANY. Corporate treasury, committee PAC filings, and USAspending obligations are other datasets. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault. 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 or Boeing employees?
No. LOCKHEED MARTIN, NORTHROP GRUMMAN, and BOEING are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text RAYTHEON COMPANY. Staff who typed only ENGINEER sit in that occupation-style row instead. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
Why so many contributions from 2,124 donors?
The 85,157 lines include repeat gifts from the same 2,124 people — on the order of 40 itemized receipts per donor. Recurring itemized programs raise the line count. The FEC field is transactional, not a once-per-employee census. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.

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