Boeing and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Two keys: BOEING and 2014

The packet’s keys are literal: industry string BOEING, cycle 2014. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $275,889, from 450 contributions and 186 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as aerospace employer text. Self-reported employer and occupation fields are free text. Filers who wrote a longer firm name, a parent company, or a nearby title are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets.

$275,889 is smaller than $14,415,064 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2014 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point.

Where $14,139,175 still sits

After this 2014 cell of $275,889, $14,139,175 of the Boeing grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 98.1% of $14,415,064. The 2014 page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2014 total is supplied, so no “share of the election” claim is possible. 1.9% is Boeing-internal. Because 2014 is about 1.9% of $14,415,064, most stored Boeing money sits outside this window ($14,139,175). The industry hub is the index for those other cycles. This page isolates 2014 so the lifetime figure is not mistaken for a two-year number.

How 186 donors produced 450 gifts

186 donors and 450 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 2.4 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$1,483 per donor and $613 per line are derived from $275,889. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Volume math uses only three facts: $275,889, 450 contributions, 186 donors. Derived means are $613 per gift and $1,483 per identity. They describe this cell, not typical American giving and not a party split.

2014 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $275,889. The FEC cycle 2014 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2014. The tie is Boeing in 2014. Only the tie is $275,889. Searchers often want a single Tuesday. FEC cycle 2014 is two years. Both years can feed $275,889. Dates, if needed, belong on the overlay, not as invented subtotals in this prose.

Limits of the Boeing string

The string BOEING is not NAICS, not a Dunn-style firm ID, and not a donor page. It is aerospace employer text. Related names remain other keys. $275,889 does not absorb them.

Motive, party, and recipient strategy are not in the facts. This file does not speculate. 186 donors and 450 contributions are counts, not a narrative about why people gave. The Commission does not verify that BOEING is a legal entity, a license, or a current job. Boeing is aerospace employer text. $275,889 is a text-match aggregate for 2014 itemized individual receipts.

Keeping Boeing 2014 distinct from the hubs

Boeing without 2014 is $14,415,064. 2014 without Boeing is the year hub. Boeing with 2014 is $275,889. Mixing those three sentences is the usual citation error this page exists to prevent.

Internal links: Boeing 2014 (overlay), Boeing (grouping), 2014 election cycle (year), All FEC ties (other joins). Anchors stay as supplied in the packet. A durable citation names BOEING, 2014, $275,889, 450 contributions, 186 donors, and FEC.gov. Add 1.9% of $14,415,064 when lifetime context is required. Do not add USAspending dollars. Restating the join without new numbers: Boeing in 2014 is $275,889 from 450 itemized individual contributions and 186 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $14,415,064 across cycles, so 2014 is about 1.9% and other windows hold $14,139,175 (98.1%). The grouping is aerospace employer text, not Boeing PAC, a NAICS aircraft rollup, or USAspending awards tagged to Boeing. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $613; mean per donor about $1,483; about 2.4 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2014 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $275,889.
