Union Pacific Railroad contributions received by UP Fund for Effective Government

Union Pacific Railroad meeting its connected PAC

Union Pacific Railroad is the grouped employer key. UNION PACIFIC CORP. FUND FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT is committee C00010470. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped to UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD and whose recipient is that PAC. The $5,487,142 figure is the intersection.

Railroad connected PACs often collect from employees. FEC individual records still do not prove payroll deduction, reimbursement, or current employment. Name overlap between the railroad and the PAC is expected. The join exists so the industry hub ($6,248,507) and the PAC hub are not treated as the same list.

Mean gift size is about $306 ($5,487,142 ÷ 17,944). That three-digit mean across tens of thousands of lines is the shape of repeated modest itemized PAC gifts, not a handful of seven-figure checks.

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD as employer text

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD is filer-entered text. UNION PACIFIC, UNION PACIFIC CORP, and UP can sit in other keys. This page does not merge those spellings into the $6,248,507. Occupations such as engineer without the railroad employer are other hubs.

Alumni and spouses who type the railroad can share the string with current staff. The FEC does not certify a headcount of Union Pacific’s workforce from 17,944 contribution lines.

17,944 contributions on the PAC side

C00010470 received $5,487,142 from Union Pacific Railroad-coded receipts across 17,944 contributions. The committee overlay also includes receipts whose employer field did not group to UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. This page does not list independent expenditures the PAC made.

Seventeen thousand nine hundred forty-four lines are not 17,944 unique people. Repeat givers raise the contribution count. Unique donors are not in these headline facts.

Eighty-eight percent of the railroad grouping

The Union Pacific Railroad grouping shows $6,248,507 in itemized individual money. The connected PAC cell is $5,487,142, or about 87.8% of that total. About 12.2% of railroad-coded receipts went to other committees.

The leftover $761,365 (12.2% of $6,248,507) went to other committees under the same Union Pacific Railroad grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Union Pacific Railroad industry hub holds that remainder. The UNION PACIFIC CORP. FUND FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD.

A railroad string is not a DOT or FRA award total

Union Pacific entities appear in federal contracting and grant data as well as FEC filings. USAspending obligations are not these campaign gifts. This join does not claim that PAC contributions funded rail projects, or that rail projects funded PAC contributions. Two datasets, one railroad name.
