Lockheed Martin and the 2008 FEC election cycle

What this Lockheed Martin 2008 cell is

This cell is Lockheed Martin money inside 2008, not Lockheed Martin money forever and not 2008 money from every employer. FEC.gov puts $437,848 at that crossing, from 692 itemized contributions and 330 donors.

The string LOCKHEED MARTIN is aerospace-and-defense employer text. Neighboring labels are other pages. This file does not invent donor names, recipient committees, or dollar amounts beyond the packet.

Readers comparing hubs should remember the missing key. The Lockheed Martin hub lacks 2008. The 2008 hub lacks Lockheed Martin. This page has both, totaling $437,848.

Share of the stored Lockheed Martin total

Stored Lockheed Martin contributions sum to $15,736,045. The 2008 window holds $437,848, about 2.8%. Other cycles hold $15,298,197 (97.2%). The share is a ratio, not a verdict.

Because spellings split, $15,736,045 can undercount a real-world organization and overcount a popular generic word. Either way, the ratio 2.8% uses only this string’s facts. Share language on this page always means $437,848 as a fraction of $15,736,045 (about 2.8%), never as a fraction of all 2008 FEC receipts. No cycle-wide denominator is in the facts. The remainder inside the grouping is $15,298,197.

Arithmetic on the 2008 cell

The 2008 cell’s volume stats are 692 contributions, 330 donors, and $437,848. Derived means are $633 per line and $1,327 per donor, with about 2.1 contributions per donor.

Those derived figures use only packet facts. No median, no party split, and no recipient ranking is available here. The donor count 330 and the contribution count 692 should be cited together with $437,848. Omitting volume makes a large or small mean invisible. Derived means are $633 per line and $1,327 per donor.

Lockheed Martin inside the 2008 matrix

Inside the 2008 matrix, Lockheed Martin occupies one cell: $437,848. Other cells are other strings. This packet names only this cell’s contribution count (692) and donor count (330).

Use the 2008 election cycle link to leave the employer filter. Use the Lockheed Martin link to leave the year. Use the overlay to see rows for this cell. Two-year FEC windows collect itemized receipts from both years. 2008 is that window. Election-night totals are a different grain and are not computed here.

What this join refuses to claim

This join refuses donor names not in the packet, refuses a party split not in the packet, and refuses any claim that FEC itemized gifts fund USAspending awards. What it reports is $437,848 from 692 contributions and 330 donors for Lockheed Martin in 2008.

If the overlay and this JSON differ, trust the overlay and FEC.gov. This prose is a packet snapshot of the two-dimension cell. Lockheed Martin is aerospace-and-defense employer text. The FEC does not certify payroll, licenses, or tribal enrollment on this aggregate. Neighboring strings remain other pages. $437,848 is the exact-string 2008 cell.

Closing the Lockheed Martin × 2008 record

Record: Lockheed Martin (LOCKHEED MARTIN) in FEC cycle 2008 totaled $437,848 in itemized individual contributions (692 lines, 330 donors), about 2.8% of $15,736,045 stored for the string. Source: FEC.gov.

The join is aerospace-and-defense employer text crossed with a two-year cycle. It is not Lockheed Martin PAC, a defense NAICS rollup, or USAspending awards to Lockheed entities. Neighboring keys and other datasets stay off this total. Keep USAspending out of the sentence that reports $437,848. Keep PAC disbursements out. Keep unitemized gifts out. The authorized dollars are itemized individual contributions matching LOCKHEED MARTIN in 2008. Restating the join without new numbers: Lockheed Martin in 2008 is $437,848 from 692 itemized individual contributions and 330 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $15,736,045 across cycles, so 2008 is about 2.8% and other windows hold $15,298,197 (97.2%). The grouping is aerospace-and-defense employer text, not Lockheed Martin PAC, a defense NAICS rollup, or USAspending awards to Lockheed entities. 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 $633; mean per donor about $1,327; about 2.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2008 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $437,848.
