General Atomics political money in the 2012 FEC cycle

General Atomics as employer, 2012 as the cycle

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping General Atomics and even-year election cycle 2012. $251,642 is the intersection. $6,115,776 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 182 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 61 (61 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

Open the General Atomics 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the General Atomics industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2012 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $251,642 when the sentence is about 2012. Quote $6,115,776 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

Sixty-one donors inside a presidential window

In 2012, receipts tagged GENERAL ATOMICS sum to $251,642 on 182 itemized lines from 61 harvested donors. About $1,383 per receipt is $251,642 divided by 182. About $4,125 per harvested donor is $251,642 divided by 61. Lines per donor average about 3.0. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

The General Atomics grouping beyond 2012

The parent grouping indexes $6,115,776 ($6.12 million rounded). 2012’s $251,642 is 4.1% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $251,642. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts. The leftover $5,864,134 sits in other harvested years under the same General Atomics key.

Employer strings are filer-entered. General Atomics captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. GENERAL ATOMICS AERONAUTICAL and GA-ASI can sit on other employer keys. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with General Atomics are a different schedule and are not inside $251,642 or $6,115,776.

4.1% is $251,642 divided by $6,115,776. Rounding to $251,642 and $6.12 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

A defense-employer string is not a contract award

This join is not a claim that General Atomics bought an election in 2012. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 61 donor keys in the 2012 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

It is not a DoD or DOE contract award book, a named-airframe roster, or a company PAC independent-expenditure total. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $251,642. State-office campaigns never enter $251,642. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 182 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the General Atomics 2012 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing General Atomics in 2012 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2012 is a different page — the 2012 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite General Atomics × 2012

Then point to the General Atomics 2012 overlay, the General Atomics industry page, the 2012 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $1,383 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 61 harvested donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees. Keep GENERAL ATOMICS labeled as stored text.

A later bulk file can restate $251,642 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2012 as an FEC even-year cycle, General Atomics as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 61 harvested donors as a harvested donor count on 182 lines. That is the whole join: General Atomics × 2012 = $251,642.

Keep the unit explicit. General Atomics is an employer/industry string. 2012 is an FEC two-year cycle. $251,642 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 61 harvested donors. 182 is the line count. $6,115,776 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.
