$283,205 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Political Consultant. FEC.gov aggregates count 343 contributions from 72 donors. The same string totals $4,327,768 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.5% of the lifetime bucket — self-reported occupation meeting a two-year window, not a campaign-vendor PAC, a consulting NAICS rollup, or Consultant stored as a shorter key.
Key figures
- Political Consultant × 2012 is $283,205 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 343 contributions from 72 donors.
- 2012 is about 6.5% of the grouping’s $4,327,768 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (self-reported occupation), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Political Consultant as stored text, 2012 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — POLITICAL CONSULTANT and 2012 — sum to $283,205. 343 itemized contributions and 72 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 Political Consultant hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Political Consultant is self-reported occupation, not a verified payroll file. 72 donors and 343 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 POLITICAL CONSULTANT.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,327,768 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Political Consultant-only list. Two filters, one cell: $283,205.
6.5% of the Political Consultant roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,327,768. The 2012 slice of $283,205 is about 6.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.5% ($4,044,563). Treating 2012 as the entire Political Consultant FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $4,327,768 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 $4,327,768. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
