Valhi Incorporated crossed with 2012

The industry hub stacks every cycle for Valhi Incorporated. The 2012 cycle hub stacks every employer. This page keeps the overlap: $1,765,000. Seventeen itemized gifts and a donor count of one produced it. The relationship is a filter pair, not a corporate treasury report.

Average gift size is about $103,824 if you divide $1,765,000 by 17. That average is a ratio across possibly many committees and both years of the cycle. It is not a typical check and not proof that Valhi Incorporated as an entity authorized the giving.

Employer text is self-reported. Holding-company names, subsidiaries, and ticker-style abbreviations may or may not sit in this same bucket.

More than a fifth of the grouping’s FEC total

$8,089,138 is every cycle combined. $1,765,000 in 2012 is about 21.8% of that stack. Other windows still hold a little more than 78%. A presidential-year cell above 20% is a major chapter for this employer string, but it is not a majority of the lifetime total.

With one donor in the cell, year-to-year swings can be that person’s calendar rather than a change in a workforce. The table cannot separate those stories.

One donor, 17 contributions

A donor count of 1 next to 17 contributions means repeated itemized activity by the same unique-donor key inside 2011–2012. Joint fundraising and multiple committees are common ways the contribution count rises while the donor count stays at one.

Individual receipts remain personal gifts. PAC filings, if they exist under a similar name, are a different FEC form family and are not this aggregate.

2012 as the cycle filter

2012 covers federal activity in 2011–2012. Valhi Incorporated’s $1,765,000 is one employer slice of that window. Ranking employer cells as influence would add a claim the individual-contribution file does not carry.

Presidential years raise national itemized totals. That seasonal fact does not assign a reason to this donor.

Holding companies, one key, and a 22% chapter

Valhi Incorporated is a holding-company-style employer string in this table. One unique-donor key and 17 contributions produced $1,765,000 in 2012. Average gift size near $103,824 is a ratio across those 17 rows, which can span many committees. It is not a typical check and not a corporate treasury transfer.

A 21.8% share of $8,089,138 is a major chapter for this modest lifetime bucket. Other cycles still hold more than 78%. With one donor in the cell, a later amendment can move a large fraction of the 2012 numerator. Keep the industry hub in view.

Subsidiaries, tickers, and related legal names may or may not sit in this same bucket. The pipeline grouped what it grouped. Party and candidate live on the overlay. Federal awards live in USAspending. This join does not bridge those systems.

Seventeen contributions totaling $1,765,000 from one unique-donor key is a short, heavy list. Average gift size near $103,824 will look like a typical check only if a reader ignores that it is a ratio. The 21.8% share of $8,089,138 makes 2012 a major chapter for this holding-company-style string. Other cycles still hold most of the bucket.

Related subsidiaries and tickers may live in other employer groupings. This page is Valhi Incorporated only. One-donor cells are sensitive to amendments: a handful of corrected receipts can move the 2012 numerator and the lifetime share together. The industry hub is the stable place to re-check the $8,089,138 denominator after any restatement. USAspending matching still requires a legal entity identifier this join does not carry.

What the join excludes

The page does not show party, candidate, or state. It does not convert an employer tag into a corporate contribution. It does not link FEC gifts to USAspending awards, even if a related legal name appears in both systems.

Receipts are on the Valhi Incorporated 2012 overlay. Other years are on the industry hub. Other 2012 employers are on the cycle hub. Other joins are on the ties index.
