American Express as stored employer text
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping American Express and even-year election cycle 2012. $237,805 is the intersection. $4,940,512 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 296 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 111 (111 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
