Lockheed Martin and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Lockheed Martin crossed with 2010

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Lockheed Martin and 2010 — sum to $251,895. 457 itemized contributions and 254 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. LOCKHEED MARTIN is grouped employer text. The 2010 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. It does not split business areas, sites, or contractor roles.

Neither the Lockheed Martin hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Lockheed Martin hub is the year index for this string. LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP, LOCKHEED, and ENGINEER occupation titles stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal defense awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

1.6% of the Lockheed Martin roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $15.7 million ($15,736,045). The 2010 slice of $251,895 is about 1.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.4%. Treating 2010 as the Lockheed Martin FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $15,736,045 as the denominator for the 1.6% 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 $15,736,045.

457 contributions from 254 donors

Dividing $251,895 by 457 contributions yields about $551 per itemized gift. Dividing by 254 donors yields about $992 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 1.8. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

254 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 Lockheed Martin 2010 holds the rows.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Lockheed Martin 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 Lockheed Martin to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $251,895 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 457 contributions, the 254 unique donors, and the 1.6% share of $15,736,045.

Limits of the Lockheed Martin × 2010 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $251,895. 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 a defense NAICS total and not a Lockheed Martin PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 254 donors, and 457 contributions. LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP, LOCKHEED, LMCO, and generic ENGINEER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Lockheed Martin and 2010 together

Start with $251,895, then Lockheed Martin 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Lockheed Martin, 2010, $251,895, 457 contributions, 254 donors, 1.6% of $15,736,045, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 1.6% share, the 254-donor count, and the $551 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 Lockheed Martin donors give in 2010?

FEC.gov aggregates show $251,895 in itemized individual contributions for the Lockheed Martin grouping in the 2010 cycle, across 457 contributions and 254 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $15,736,045 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

What share of Lockheed Martin FEC money is 2010?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $15,736,045. The 2010 cell of $251,895 is about 1.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.4% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Lockheed Martin hub holds other cycles; the 2010 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Lockheed Martin’s PAC or an official account?

No. $251,895 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Lockheed Martin. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a defense NAICS total and not a Lockheed Martin PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Lockheed Martin 2010 join?

Open Lockheed Martin 2010 for the cycle overlay, Lockheed Martin for the grouping hub, and the 2010 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. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
