Lockheed Martin and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Why Lockheed Martin and 2014 share a page

Lockheed Martin pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2014 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $270,850 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged LOCKHEED MARTIN in 2014. 363 contributions and 197 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is defense-contractor employer text. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. Lockheed martin pac, a dod naics rollup, or usaspending awards tagged to the firm would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $15,736,045 on the industry hub and keep the 2014 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $270,850.

2014 as a slice of $15,736,045

$15,736,045 is the all-cycle total stored for LOCKHEED MARTIN. Subtract $270,850 and $15,465,195 remains in other cycles (98.3%). 2014 therefore accounts for about 1.7% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 1.7% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2014 campaign. It is $270,850 divided by $15,736,045. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 1.7% ratio is $270,850 divided by $15,736,045. Other even-year joins for LOCKHEED MARTIN are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $15,465,195. Citing 2014 as if it were the Lockheed Martin lifetime total would overstate this cell by $15,465,195.

Volume: 363 lines, 197 identities

363 itemized contributions and 197 unique donors sit behind $270,850. Average gift size is about $746; average dollars per donor about $1,375; lines per donor about 1.8. Averages hide skew.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Lockheed Martin. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. A mean of $746 per itemized line and $1,375 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 363 contributions remaining larger than 197 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

The two-year 2014 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2014 covers that even-year window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $270,850. This packet does not split those years.

The 2014 hub is the place to see every other employer string that year. This page keeps the Lockheed Martin filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2014 giving is claimed. FEC cycle 2014 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $270,850 if they were itemized against LOCKHEED MARTIN. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Form text is not a payroll file

FEC employer and occupation fields are typed by filers. LOCKHEED MARTIN is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, tribal enrollment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. Lockheed Martin here is defense-contractor employer text.

PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $270,850 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $270,850. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail. Lockheed Martin as defense-contractor employer text can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $270,850. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

How to quote $270,850

A complete quote names both sides: Lockheed Martin and 2014, $270,850, 363 itemized contributions, 197 unique donors, FEC.gov. Add 1.7% of $15,736,045 if the lifetime context matters. Omit any number that is not in those facts.

The overlay Lockheed Martin 2014 is for rows. The Lockheed Martin hub is for other years. The 2014 election cycle is for other strings. All FEC ties is the join index. Use every one of those hrefs; do not substitute a donor URL. Quote both keys: Lockheed Martin and 2014. Quote the dollars: $270,850. Quote the volume: 363 contributions, 197 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them.
