BEAR STEARNS money in federal elections

A legacy two-word stamp at $3,358,338

Three hundred sixty-five donors produced 5,609 contributions, about 15 itemized gifts per person. Mean gift size is about $599; mean per donor is about $9,201. FEC aggregates that span many cycles retain employer text as originally filed. People who listed BEAR STEARNS in older cycles remain in this cluster even if they later listed a successor firm. The packet does not split dollars by year, so this guide does not assign $3,358,338 to a single decade.

Top employer matches BEAR STEARNS. BEAR STEARNS & CO, BEAR, STEARNS & CO., JPMORGAN, and GOLDMAN SACHS can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,358,338 unless they grouped to BEAR STEARNS. LobbyVault does not recode ampersand-plus-CO variants into this two-word stamp.

365 donors and 5,609 lines

5,609 lines from 365 people is a lighter receipt pattern than several payroll stamps at similar dollars. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a trading-versus-banking split or a cycle year. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any historic committee PAC filings are outside the $3,358,338 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Ampersand-CO variants and JPMorgan stay separate

BEAR STEARNS & CO, JPMORGAN, GOLDMAN SACHS, and BANKER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with BEAR STEARNS would mix a two-word stamp, a legal-suffix spelling, a successor-era brand, a rival bank, and a job title. This page reports $3,358,338 for BEAR STEARNS only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the two-word stamp. BANKER, TRADER, and MANAGING DIRECTOR exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of BEAR STEARNS.

Donor table without successor inference

The BEAR STEARNS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a successor firm, a desk, or a motive to that line. People who still type the historic two-word stamp share the string with filers from earlier cycles. The FEC field is not a partnership roster and not a statement that the firm currently exists.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the historic stamp. Repeat names among 5,609 lines from 365 people are expected. People who typed BEAR STEARNS & CO are not in these 365 unless a receipt also grouped to BEAR STEARNS.

Two-word BEAR STEARNS versus & CO and JPMorgan

BEAR STEARNS keyed $3.4M from 5,609 contributions and 365 donors. BEAR STEARNS & CO and JPMORGAN remain other keys. The 365 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of a current firm. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the two-word stamp.

Read $3,358,338 as the BEAR STEARNS cluster only. About 15 gifts per person, a mean gift near $599, and about $9,201 per donor are packet arithmetic. Filings can span many cycles; the packet does not assign the total to a decade. Unitemized gifts sit outside the $3.4M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.
