2012 Election Cycle

Contributions

$574,589 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Actress. FEC.gov aggregates count 308 contributions from 79 donors. The same string totals $8,949,628 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.4% of the lifetime bucket β€” a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not a SAG-AFTRA roster and not an entertainment PAC.

Key figures

  • Actress Γ— 2012 is $574,589 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 308 contributions from 79 donors.
  • 2012 is about 6.4% of the grouping’s $8,949,628 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a SAG-AFTRA roster and not an entertainment PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Actress as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β€” Actress and 2012 β€” sum to $574,589. 308 itemized contributions and 79 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2012 is a presidential even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Actress hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Actress is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 79 donors and 308 lines in 2012 matched that word. People who typed Actor, a studio name, or a production company sit in other buckets. ACTOR, ENTERTAINER, and related gender-neutral titles are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Actress as stored.

6.4% of the Actress roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,949,628. The 2012 slice of $574,589 is about 6.4% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.6%. Treating 2012 as the Actress FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $8,949,628 as the denominator for the 6.4% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $8,949,628. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

Questions

How much did Actress donors give in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $574,589 in itemized individual contributions for the Actress grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 308 contributions and 79 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $8,949,628 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.
What share of Actress FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,949,628. The 2012 cell of $574,589 is about 6.4% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.6% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Actress hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only current Actress employees or licensees?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string Actress. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $574,589 from 79 donors on 308 contribution lines.
Where is the overlay for the Actress 2012 join?
Open Actress 2012 for the cycle overlay, Actress for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle.
