Norfolk Southern Corporation political money — 2012

Two keys: NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION and 2012

Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2012 and the Norfolk Southern Corporation hub shows $5,647,909. Drop Norfolk Southern Corporation and the 2012 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $523,484 on 1,735 lines from 82 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.

1,735 contributions from 82 donors is a high line-count relative to identities. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count faster than the donor count. Exact string matching is the method. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, NORFOLK SOUTHERN RY, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP are not rolled into $523,484. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.

Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Norfolk Southern Corporation 2012 is the row view of this cell.

Lifetime Norfolk Southern Corporation dollars versus the 2012 slice

$5,647,909 minus $523,484 leaves $5,124,425 in other cycles, or 90.7% of the stored book. 9.3% is the 2012 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.

$5,647,909 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORPORATION in this table. The Norfolk Southern Corporation hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2012 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.

Volume inside the Norfolk Southern Corporation 2012 cell

About $302 per contribution and about $6,384 per donor follow from dividing $523,484 by 1,735 and by 82. Lines per donor average about 21.2. High line counts relative to identities usually mean repeat gifts; low line counts can mean fewer repeats. Those readings are still arithmetic, not a donor strategy. They are not medians and not a party split.

This page does not name donors. 82 is a count. Retirees and relatives can share a stored workplace. Unitemized gifts are absent. PAC disbursements are a different FEC table and are not inside $523,484.

2012 is a two-year FEC tag

On FEC.gov, 2012 is a presidential cycle covering two calendar years. Searchers who want a single November figure will not find that split here. Both years of the window can feed $523,484. Dates live on the overlay, not in this snapshot. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number.

Caveats that travel with the dollars

The page is not a railroad PAC, a corporate treasury gift, or a transportation NAICS total. Sharing Norfolk Southern Corporation and 2012 does not create a federal award. USAspending is a different dataset. Do not add $523,484 to obligation totals. Do not treat $523,484 as proof of influence. A join is two fields. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements remain outside this cell.

If FEC.gov or the live hubs later show a different $523,484, 1,735, or 82, the newer extract wins. Neighboring strings — NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, NORFOLK SOUTHERN RY, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP — remain other pages. This file stays on one employer/industry grouping and one cycle.
