Union Pacific Railroad political money — 2010 cycle

Union Pacific Railroad as stored text, 2010 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Union Pacific Railroad and 2010 — sum to $661,064. 1,890 itemized contributions and 189 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not the company’s PAC. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Union Pacific Railroad hub nor the 2010 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Union Pacific Railroad is an employer string, not a verified employee census and not the company’s PAC. 189 donors and 1,890 lines in 2010 matched that employer text. UNION PACIFIC, UP, UP RAILROAD, and other rail-employer spellings sit in other keys if filers typed them that way. This page is the stored string UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Union Pacific Railroad 2010 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2010 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Union Pacific Railroad 2010 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $661,064, 1,890 contributions, 189 donors, and 10.6% of $6,248,507.

10.6% of the Union Pacific Railroad roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,248,507. The 2010 slice of $661,064 is about 10.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.4% ($5,587,443). Treating 2010 as the Union Pacific Railroad FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $6,248,507 as the denominator for the 10.6% 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 $6,248,507.

A 10.6% cell can sit next to larger or smaller even-year windows on the same Union Pacific Railroad hub. This packet does not publish those other cycle dollars, so they are not cited here. Open Union Pacific Railroad to drop the year filter. Open the 2010 election cycle to drop the employer filter.

1,890 contributions from 189 donors

Dividing $661,064 by 1,890 contributions yields about $350 per itemized gift. Dividing by 189 donors yields about $3,498 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 10.0. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

189 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 Union Pacific Railroad 2010 holds the rows.

1,890 is a receipt count, not a unique-person census beyond the 189 donor figure already in the packet. A person who gave twice is two lines inside the 1,890. Unitemized gifts never appear in $661,064.

2010 as the cycle dimension

The 2010 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Union Pacific Railroad 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 Union Pacific Railroad to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $661,064 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 1,890 contributions, the 189 unique donors, and the 10.6% share of $6,248,507.

2010 is a midterm federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $661,064. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. Cite the two packet dollars — $661,064 for the 2010 slice and $6,248,507 for the Union Pacific Railroad book — and stop before assigning motive.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $661,064. 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 railroad PAC and not a transportation NAICS total.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 189 donors, and 1,890 contributions. UNION PACIFIC, UP, UP RAILROAD, and other rail-employer spellings sit in other keys if filers typed them that way. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Do not read $661,064 as proof that Union Pacific Railroad “drove” the 2010 cycle or that 2010 “drove” the Union Pacific Railroad book. The join is two fields. If the live hubs disagree with $661,064 or 189 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Citing Union Pacific Railroad and 2010 together

Start with $661,064, then Union Pacific Railroad 2010 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2010 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Union Pacific Railroad, 2010, $661,064, 1,890 contributions, 189 donors, 10.6% of $6,248,507, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

The 10.6% share, the 189-donor count, and the $350 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.
