Key figures

  • General Atomics × 2010 is $214,870 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 171 contributions from 61 donors.
  • 2010 is about 3.5% of the grouping’s $6,115,776 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text (GENERAL ATOMICS), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Headline cell $214,870

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — General Atomics (GENERAL ATOMICS) and 2010 — sum to $214,870. 171 itemized contributions and 61 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the General Atomics hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. GENERAL ATOMICS is the stored employer string. GA, GENERAL ATOMIC, and GENERAL ATOMICS AERONAUTICAL are other keys. Sixty-one unique donors produced 171 lines. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending contract obligations. Do not read this cell as defense awards. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $214,870. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

96.5% of General Atomics dollars sit outside 2010

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,115,776 ($6.1 million). The 2010 slice of $214,870 is about 3.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.5% ($5,900,906). Treating 2010 as the General Atomics FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $6,115,776 as the denominator for the 3.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $6,115,776.

Unique donors totaling 61

Dividing $214,870 by 171 contributions yields about $1,257 per itemized gift. Dividing by 61 donors yields about $3,522 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.8. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

61 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, members, or licensees. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for General Atomics 2010 holds the rows. This packet does not publish donor names; do not invent them.

Even-year mechanics for 2010

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. General Atomics is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter and General Atomics to drop the year. 2010 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $214,870.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $214,870 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 171 contributions, the 61 unique donors, and the 3.5% share of $6,115,776.

Neighbor strings are other keys

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $214,870. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending obligations. Do not add $214,870 to federal spending figures.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 61 donors, and 171 contributions. GENERAL ATOMICS is the stored employer string. GA, GENERAL ATOMIC, and GENERAL ATOMICS AERONAUTICAL are other keys. Sixty-one unique donors produced 171 lines. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending contract obligations. Do not read this cell as defense awards. Cite the exact stored string GENERAL ATOMICS crossed with 2010. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Using All FEC ties without mixing 2010 cells

Start with $214,870, then General Atomics 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: General Atomics, 2010, $214,870, 171 contributions, 61 donors, 3.5% of $6,115,776, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string GENERAL ATOMICS.

The 3.5% share, the 61-donor count, and the $1,257 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.

$3,522 per donor is a mean. One large itemized gift and many small ones can produce the same average. The overlay, not this prose, shows the distribution.
