Northrop Grumman and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Reading $146,495 as an intersection

$146,495 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is Northrop Grumman (NORTHROP GRUMMAN). The cycle filter is 2010. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 220 lines, and the 104 donors.

Because the grouping is aerospace-and-defense employer text, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for Northrop Grumman. Use the 2010 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $10,915,801 denominator

Divide $146,495 by $10,915,801 and the result is about 1.3%. The complementary share is 98.7%, or $10,769,306 outside 2010. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$10,915,801 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched NORTHROP GRUMMAN in any cycle in this table. The denominator $10,915,801 is every cycle stored for NORTHROP GRUMMAN, not revenue and not assets. $146,495 over $10,915,801 is about 1.3%. The leftover $10,769,306 is other even-year windows on the Northrop Grumman hub.

$666 per contribution, $1,409 per donor

Per-gift mean $666 and per-donor mean $1,409 follow from $146,495, 220, and 104. About 2.1 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed NORTHROP GRUMMAN as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $666 per itemized contribution, $1,409 per unique donor, 2.1 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $146,495, 220, and 104. They are not medians.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2010 and FEC cycle 2010 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $146,495. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Northrop Grumman remains one grouping among many on the 2010 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. 2010 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $146,495 is the two-year cell.

Correlation is not a spending trail

A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $146,495 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that Northrop Grumman as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record. PAC filings sit outside $146,495. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is aerospace-and-defense employer text, not a Northrop Grumman PAC, a defense NAICS rollup, or USAspending awards to Northrop entities.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: the 2010 overlay for this string, the Northrop Grumman industry hub, the 2010 election cycle hub, and the ties index. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

This snapshot recorded $146,495 from 220 contributions and 104 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($146,495), then both keys (Northrop Grumman, 2010), then volume (220 contributions, 104 donors), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: Northrop Grumman in 2010 is $146,495 from 220 itemized individual contributions and 104 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $10,915,801 across cycles, so 2010 is about 1.3% and other windows hold $10,769,306 (98.7%). The grouping is aerospace-and-defense employer text, not a Northrop Grumman PAC, a defense NAICS rollup, or USAspending awards to Northrop 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 $666; mean per donor about $1,409; about 2.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2010 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $146,495.
