The Oppenheimer Co employer grouping recorded $1,070,950 in itemized individual contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 38 contributions from one donor. Oppenheimer Co is the matched employer string as stored, not a claim about every Oppenheimer legal variant. This page joins that brokerage-style key to the 2012 two-year window so a one-person cell can be read as an overlap rather than as a firm PAC or a ranking of broker-dealers. One identity and 38 lines produced $1,070,950; ampersand spellings and longer legal names are other keys if filers typed them that way. Do not treat thirty-eight itemized lines as thirty-eight Oppenheimer brokers. Ampersand spellings of the same brokerage name are other keys if filers typed them.
Key figures
- Oppenheimer Co × 2012 equals $1,070,950 in itemized individual contributions.
- One donor made 38 contributions in that cell.
- 2012 is about 19.0% of the grouping’s $5,628,492 all-cycle total.
- The key is a self-reported employer string, not a treasury line.
- The page is a two-table join, not a motive claim.
One donor where Oppenheimer Co meets 2012
A single contributor identity accounts for the entire $1,070,950. Thirty-eight itemized contributions still sit in the count, so the money arrived as many lines rather than one check. The join includes only rows whose employer text rolled up to Oppenheimer Co and whose dates fall in 2012. Drop either filter and the dollar figure no longer applies.
Across cycles, the grouping totals $5,628,492. The 2012 window is about 19.0% of that running total. A high cycle share with one filer is a concentration statistic, not a ranking of broker-dealers and not proof that a company treasury wrote the checks. Other years under this key are not imported here.
What the Oppenheimer Co label holds
FEC employer fields are free text. Oppenheimer Co is the rollup as stored. Filers who wrote Oppenheimer & Co., a longer legal name, or a wealth-management affiliate may land on other keys. This join does not merge those spellings. Combining them with Bank of America or Merrill Lynch would invent a finance total neither packet publishes.
Because one donor dominates 2012, the page is closer to a person-level timeline than to a branch-office census. The industry hub’s $5,628,492 is the place to see the key without the 2012 filter. The overlay for Oppenheimer Co 2012 is the row view of the 38 lines.
Treat $5,628,492 as the denominator for the 19.0% share, not as a market valuation. A later cycle under this key would have its own donor count and must not inherit the one-donor fact from 2012.
