$543,322 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer grouping Akin Gump. FEC.gov aggregates count 371 contributions from 113 donors. The same string totals $4,959,676 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 11.0% of the lifetime bucket — law-firm employer text meeting a two-year window, not Akin Gump PAC, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld as the full legal name, or every Akin Gump LLP spelling stored separately.

Key figures

  • Akin Gump × 2012 is $543,322 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 371 contributions from 113 donors.
  • 2012 is about 11.0% of the grouping’s $4,959,676 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (law-firm employer text), not Akin Gump PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Akin Gump as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — AKIN GUMP and 2012 — sum to $543,322. 371 itemized contributions and 113 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Akin Gump hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Akin Gump is law-firm employer text, not a verified payroll file. 113 donors and 371 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string AKIN GUMP.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,959,676 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Akin Gump-only list. Two filters, one cell: $543,322.

11.0% of the Akin Gump roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,959,676. The 2012 slice of $543,322 is about 11.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.0% ($4,416,354). Treating 2012 as the entire Akin Gump FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $4,959,676 as the denominator for the 11.0% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $4,959,676. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

Questions

How much did Akin Gump donors give in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $543,322 in itemized individual contributions for the Akin Gump grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 371 contributions and 113 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,959,676 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of Akin Gump FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,959,676. The 2012 cell of $543,322 is about 11.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.0% ($4,416,354) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only currently employed Akin Gump donors?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string AKIN GUMP. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $543,322 from 113 donors across 371 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the Akin Gump 2012 join?
Open Akin Gump 2012 for the cycle overlay, Akin Gump 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. Cite FEC.gov for $543,322, 371 contributions, and 113 donors.
