Contributors who listed CONSULTANT on federal itemized receipts account for $6,503,863 in the 2012 election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. That slice is 5,410 contributions from 1,520 donors. The all-cycle CONSULTANT total is $91,820,178. Cycle 2012 is 7.1% of that parent book. CONSULTANT is a generic title word — not McKinsey, not Deloitte, not BUSINESSMAN, and not a NAICS professional-services total. This page joins that word to cycle 2012.
Key figures
- CONSULTANT in 2012 totals $6,503,863 from 1,520 donors and 5,410 contributions.
- The all-cycle total is $91,820,178; 2012 is 7.1% of that book.
- The label is a title word, not a named firm and not NAICS.
- High line count reflects many itemized gifts under a short job string.

A diffuse title cluster in a presidential cycle
One thousand five hundred twenty unique donors produced 5,410 itemized lines totaling $6.50 million. That is on the order of 3.6 lines per donor. Line volume is high relative to the dollar total because many itemized gifts sit under a short job word. The Consultant 2012 overlay lists disclosed names. LobbyVault does not infer a consulting-firm partnership from the title.
Seven point one percent of $91,820,178 means most of the title-word book sits in other cycles. Citing 2012 as the occupation’s entire federal history would understate the parent.
People who typed MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, SELF EMPLOYED, or a firm legal name sit on other keys unless a receipt grouped to CONSULTANT.
2012 as an FEC clock, not a billable year
FEC cycle 2012 is the two-year federal window labeled 2012. This join does not import utilization rates or a GSA schedule. The 2012 election cycle hub shows other occupation words in the same window, including INVESTOR and FARMER.
Party share is not in the packet.

Questions
- How much did CONSULTANT-listed donors give in 2012?
- LobbyVault attributes $6,503,863 to that string in 2012, from 5,410 contributions and 1,520 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a firm-by-firm consulting total.
- Is 2012 most of the CONSULTANT total?
- No. The all-cycle total is $91,820,178. The 2012 slice is $6,503,863, or 7.1% of that parent book.
- Does this include McKinsey or other firm staff?
- Only if the receipt grouped to CONSULTANT. People who typed a firm legal name are on those firm keys. This join is the title word in 2012.
