Norfolk Southern Corporation and the 2014 FEC election cycle

$593,629 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Norfolk Southern Corporation. FEC.gov aggregates count 2,294 contributions from 97 donors.

Norfolk Southern Corporation as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Norfolk Southern Corporation and 2014 — sum to $593,629. 2,294 itemized contributions and 97 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. 2014 is a midterm even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Norfolk Southern Corporation hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Norfolk Southern Corporation is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 97 donors and 2,294 lines in 2014 matched that word. People who abbreviated the railroad or typed only SOUTHERN sit in other buckets. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Norfolk Southern Corporation as stored.

10.5% of the Norfolk Southern Corporation roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,647,909. The 2014 slice of $593,629 is about 10.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.5%. Treating 2014 as the Norfolk Southern Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $5,647,909 as the denominator for the 10.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2014 from being folded silently into $5,647,909. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

2,294 contributions from 97 donors

Dividing $593,629 by 2,294 contributions yields about $259 per itemized gift. Dividing by 97 donors yields about $6,120 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 23.6. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. A high contribution count with a small donor set is repeat itemization, not a headcount.

97 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 Norfolk Southern Corporation 2014 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2014 as the cycle dimension

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Norfolk Southern Corporation is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Norfolk Southern Corporation to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $593,629 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 2,294 contributions, the 97 unique donors, and the 10.5% share of $5,647,909. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 97 donors, and 2,294 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $593,629. NORFOLK SOUTHERN, NS, and NORFOLK SOUTHERN CORP are other keys. People who abbreviated the railroad or typed only SOUTHERN are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. A high contribution count with a small donor set is repeat itemization, not a headcount. The page is not the railroad’s PAC and not a Class I operating-revenue total.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Norfolk Southern Corporation is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $593,629 cell.

Citing Norfolk Southern Corporation and 2014 together

Start with $593,629, then Norfolk Southern Corporation 2014 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2014 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Norfolk Southern Corporation, 2014, $593,629, 2,294 contributions, 97 donors, 10.5% of $5,647,909, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 10.5% share, the 97-donor count, and the $259 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. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.
