Key figures
- Musician in 2012: $235,214 on 223 receipts from 55 harvested donors.
- Musician all-cycle grouping in this extract: $8,611,076.
- 2012 is 2.7% of that grouping total — a year cut, not the parent.
- Employer labels are filer-entered. Cycle dollars are not federal awards.
Musician as occupation, 2012 as the cycle
The parent grouping indexes $8,611,076 ($8.61 million rounded). 2012’s $235,214 is 2.7% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $235,214. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts. The leftover $8,375,862 sits in other harvested years under the same Musician key.
This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Musician and even-year election cycle 2012. $235,214 is the intersection. $8,611,076 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 223 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 55 (55 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
Fifty-five donors on 223 itemized lines
In 2012, receipts tagged MUSICIAN sum to $235,214 on 223 itemized lines from 55 harvested donors. About $1,055 per receipt is $235,214 divided by 223. About $4,277 per harvested donor is $235,214 divided by 55. Lines per donor average about 4.1. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.
