FEC.gov records $315,656 for the string BROKER inside the 2012 election cycle. That cell is 339 itemized contributions and 76 unique donors. Across all cycles the grouping stores $5,804,460, which means 2012 is about 5.4% of the running sum. This page is a join: Broker on one axis, 2012 on the other — not a securities-license census, a brokerage PAC, or Stockbroker stored as another key.

Key figures

  • BROKER in 2012 totals $315,656 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.
  • 339 contributions and 76 unique donors produced the cell.
  • About 5.4% of $5,804,460 stored for this string sits in 2012 ($5,488,804 remains).
  • Broker is self-reported occupation, not NAICS and not a donor list.
  • Do not treat campaign gifts as USAspending awards.

Why Broker and 2012 share a page

Broker pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2012 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $315,656 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged BROKER in 2012. 339 contributions and 76 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is self-reported occupation. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. A securities-license census, a brokerage pac, or stockbroker stored as another key would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $5,804,460 on the industry hub and keep the 2012 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $315,656.

2012 as a slice of $5,804,460

$5,804,460 is the all-cycle total stored for BROKER. Subtract $315,656 and $5,488,804 remains in other cycles (94.6%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 5.4% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 5.4% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $315,656 divided by $5,804,460. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 5.4% ratio is $315,656 divided by $5,804,460. Other even-year joins for BROKER are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $5,488,804. Citing 2012 as if it were the Broker lifetime total would overstate this cell by $5,488,804.
