Honeywell International and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Honeywell International crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Honeywell International and 2012 — sum to $649,861. 1,994 itemized contributions and 139 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 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. One thousand nine hundred ninety-four contribution lines from 139 donors is a broad named-employer cell with a high lines-per-donor ratio. Payroll-style repeat gifts can raise the line count faster than the unique-donor count. The FEC does not certify that the 139 identities were on Honeywell’s 2012 W-2 file. Federal contracting awards are a different dataset. HONEYWELL, HONEYWELL INC, and HONEYWELL AEROSPACE are other stored spellings if filers used them. This join does not merge those neighbors into Honeywell International.

3.1% of the Honeywell International roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $20,781,402 ($20.8 million). The 2012 slice of $649,861 is about 3.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.9%. Treating 2012 as the Honeywell International FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $20,781,402 as the denominator for the 3.1% 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 2012 from being folded silently into $20,781,402.

1,994 contributions from 139 donors

Dividing $649,861 by 1,994 contributions yields about $326 per itemized gift. Dividing by 139 donors yields about $4,675 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 14.3. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

139 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. 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 2012 holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 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 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Honeywell International to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $649,861 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 1,994 contributions, the 139 unique donors, and the 3.1% share of $20,781,402.

Limits of the Honeywell International × 2012 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $649,861. 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. The page is not an aerospace-manufacturing NAICS total and not Honeywell’s PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 139 donors, and 1,994 contributions. HONEYWELL, HONEYWELL INC, and HONEYWELL AEROSPACE are other stored spellings if filers used them. This join does not merge those neighbors into Honeywell International. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Honeywell International and 2012 together

Start with $649,861, then Honeywell International 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Honeywell International, 2012, $649,861, 1,994 contributions, 139 donors, 3.1% of $20,781,402, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 3.1% share, the 139-donor count, and the $326 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.

Questions

How much did Honeywell International donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $649,861 in itemized individual contributions for the Honeywell International grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 1,994 contributions and 139 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $20,781,402 all-cycle figure.

What share of Honeywell International FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $20,781,402. The 2012 cell of $649,861 is about 3.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.9% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Honeywell International hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Honeywell International’s PAC or an official account?

No. $649,861 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Honeywell International. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not an aerospace-manufacturing NAICS total and not Honeywell’s PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Honeywell International 2012 join?

Open Honeywell International 2012 for the cycle overlay, Honeywell International for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
