$1,765,000 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the Valhi Incorporated employer grouping. FEC.gov aggregates record that sum as 17 contributions from one donor. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,089,138, so this presidential-year cell is about 21.8% of the lifetime bucket — a single-donor slice that is large for this employer string and still not the whole story.

Key figures

  • $1,765,000 joins Valhi Incorporated to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 17 contributions from 1 donor concentrate the cell.
  • 2012 is about 21.8% of the grouping’s $8,089,138 lifetime total.
  • The join is an employer-cycle filter, not a corporate PAC or a spending award.

Valhi Incorporated crossed with 2012

The industry hub stacks every cycle for Valhi Incorporated. The 2012 cycle hub stacks every employer. This page keeps the overlap: $1,765,000. Seventeen itemized gifts and a donor count of one produced it. The relationship is a filter pair, not a corporate treasury report.

Average gift size is about $103,824 if you divide $1,765,000 by 17. That average is a ratio across possibly many committees and both years of the cycle. It is not a typical check and not proof that Valhi Incorporated as an entity authorized the giving.

Employer text is self-reported. Holding-company names, subsidiaries, and ticker-style abbreviations may or may not sit in this same bucket.

More than a fifth of the grouping’s FEC total

$8,089,138 is every cycle combined. $1,765,000 in 2012 is about 21.8% of that stack. Other windows still hold a little more than 78%. A presidential-year cell above 20% is a major chapter for this employer string, but it is not a majority of the lifetime total.

With one donor in the cell, year-to-year swings can be that person’s calendar rather than a change in a workforce. The table cannot separate those stories.
