ESTEE LAUDER COSMETICS

Estee Lauder Cosmetics crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Estee Lauder Cosmetics and 2012 — sum to $770,000. Six itemized contributions and 1 unique donor 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.

Neither the Estee Lauder Cosmetics hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Six 2012 lines on one donor key sit under the three-word cosmetics employer string. That is a filing pattern, not a census of a beauty-company payroll. Shorter ESTEE LAUDER spellings without Cosmetics remain other keys. Retail sales figures are not this table. ESTEE LAUDER, THE ESTEE LAUDER COMPANIES, ELC, and generic COSMETICS occupation strings are other keys.

8.2% of the Estee Lauder Cosmetics roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $9,336,260 ($9.3 million). The 2012 slice of $770,000 is about 8.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.8%. Treating 2012 as the Estee Lauder Cosmetics FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $9,336,260 as the denominator for the 8.2% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $9,336,260.

Questions

How much did Estee Lauder Cosmetics donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $770,000 in itemized individual contributions for the Estee Lauder Cosmetics grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 6 contributions and 1 donor. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $9,336,260 all-cycle figure.

What share of Estee Lauder Cosmetics FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $9,336,260. The 2012 cell of $770,000 is about 8.2% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 91.8% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Estee Lauder Cosmetics hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Estee Lauder Cosmetics’s PAC or an official account?

No. $770,000 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Estee Lauder Cosmetics. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a cosmetics NAICS total and not an Estee Lauder PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Estee Lauder Cosmetics 2012 join?

Open Estee Lauder Cosmetics 2012 for the cycle overlay, Estee Lauder Cosmetics 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.
