$544,762 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Owner. FEC.gov aggregates count 509 contributions from 221 donors. The same string totals $8,415,493 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.5% of the lifetime bucket — self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a small-business PAC, a verified ownership census, or related titles such as business owner or CEO stored as other keys.

Key figures

  • Owner × 2012 is $544,762 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 509 contributions from 221 donors.
  • 2012 is about 6.5% of the grouping’s $8,415,493 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (self-reported title), not a small-business PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Owner as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — OWNER and 2012 — sum to $544,762. 509 itemized contributions and 221 unique donors 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Owner hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Owner is self-reported title, not a verified payroll file. 221 donors and 509 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string OWNER.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $8,415,493 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Owner-only list. Two filters, one cell: $544,762.

6.5% of the Owner roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,415,493. The 2012 slice of $544,762 is about 6.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.5% ($7,870,731). Treating 2012 as the entire Owner FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $8,415,493 as the denominator for the 6.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $8,415,493. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

Questions

How much FEC money is coded Owner in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $544,762 in itemized individual contributions for the Owner grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 509 contributions and 221 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,415,493 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of Owner FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,415,493. The 2012 cell of $544,762 is about 6.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.5% ($7,870,731) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does the FEC verify Owner as a license or job?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string OWNER. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $544,762 from 221 donors across 509 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the Owner 2012 join?
Open Owner 2012 for the cycle overlay, Owner for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this occupation filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Cite FEC.gov for $544,762, 509 contributions, and 221 donors.
