Key figures
- Auto Dealer in 2012: $853,399 on 645 receipts from 116 donors.
- Auto Dealer all-cycle grouping in this extract: $7,708,506.
- 2012 is 11.1% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Why Auto Dealer and 2012 share a page
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Auto Dealer and even-year election cycle 2012. $853,399 is the intersection. $7,708,506 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 645 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 116 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Open the Auto Dealer 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Auto Dealer industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2012 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $853,399 when the sentence is about 2012. Quote $7,708,506 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.
The 2012 slice for Auto Dealer
In 2012, receipts tagged Auto Dealer sum to $853,399 on 645 itemized lines from 116 donors. About $1,323 per receipt is $853,399 divided by 645. About $7,357 per harvested donor is $853,399 divided by 116. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.
Auto Dealer is an occupation or employer grouping, not a franchise-agreement census and not NADA membership. One hundred sixteen donors and 645 receipts produced $853,399 in 2012. People who typed Dealer, Auto Sales, or a specific rooftop name sit in other keys. Do not add those keys to $853,399.
