$348,819 as a two-field overlap

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Honeywell International (HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL) and 2008 — sum to $348,819. 705 itemized contributions and 239 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 Honeywell International hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL is the two-word stored string, not HONEYWELL, HONEYWELL INC, or HONEYWELL CORP. LobbyVault does not fold those neighbors into this cell. 705 contributions from 239 donors is a dense itemized volume for this cell. The all-cycle roll is larger than most neighbors here; 2008 is a thin slice of it. The page is not Honeywell PAC disbursements and not a manufacturing NAICS total. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $348,819. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.

Other cycles hold $20,432,583

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $20,781,402 ($20.8 million). The 2008 slice of $348,819 is about 1.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.3% ($20,432,583). Treating 2008 as the Honeywell International FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $20,781,402 as the denominator for the 1.7% 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 2008 from being folded silently into $20,781,402.

239 identities, not a workforce census

Dividing $348,819 by 705 contributions yields about $495 per itemized gift. Dividing by 239 donors yields about $1,459 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.9. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

239 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 Honeywell International 2008 holds the rows. This packet does not publish donor names; do not invent them.

2008 is a two-year FEC tag

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Honeywell International is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Honeywell International to drop the year. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain $348,819.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $348,819 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 705 contributions, the 239 unique donors, and the 1.7% share of $20,781,402.

Correlation is not causation

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $348,819. 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 $348,819 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, 239 donors, and 705 contributions. HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL is the two-word stored string, not HONEYWELL, HONEYWELL INC, or HONEYWELL CORP. LobbyVault does not fold those neighbors into this cell. 705 contributions from 239 donors is a dense itemized volume for this cell. The all-cycle roll is larger than most neighbors here; 2008 is a thin slice of it. The page is not Honeywell PAC disbursements and not a manufacturing NAICS total. Cite the exact stored string HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL crossed with 2008. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

FEC.gov versus this Honeywell International 2008 snapshot

Start with $348,819, then Honeywell International 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Honeywell International, 2008, $348,819, 705 contributions, 239 donors, 1.7% of $20,781,402, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL.

The 1.7% share, the 239-donor count, and the $495 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.

The presidential character of 2008 is a calendar classification. It is not evidence that Honeywell International donors behaved differently than in a neighboring even year.
