2012 Election Cycle

Total Donated

$462,513

Contributions

Unique Donors

$645,780 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the occupation grouping Private Investor. FEC.gov aggregates count 289 contributions from 90 donors. The same string totals $9,456,931 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.8% of the lifetime bucket β€” a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a securities NAICS total and not an investor PAC.

Key figures

  • Private Investor Γ— 2012 is $645,780 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 289 contributions from 90 donors.
  • 2012 is about 6.8% of the grouping’s $9,456,931 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a securities NAICS total and not an investor PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Private Investor as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both β€” Private Investor and 2012 β€” sum to $645,780. 289 itemized contributions and 90 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.

Neither the Private Investor hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Private Investor is a self-typed occupation, not a census of people who hold securities. Ninety donors and 289 lines in 2012 matched that phrase. The one-word Investor key is a neighbor. Named funds typed as employer sit on firm pages. Do not add those cells here. INVESTOR, PRIVATE EQUITY, INVESTMENTS, and named funds are other keys. This page is the two-word Private Investor string.

6.8% of the Private Investor roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $9,456,931 ($9.5 million). The 2012 slice of $645,780 is about 6.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.2%. Treating 2012 as the Private Investor FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $9,456,931 as the denominator for the 6.8% 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 $9,456,931.

Questions

How much did Private Investor donors give in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $645,780 in itemized individual contributions for the Private Investor grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 289 contributions and 90 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $9,456,931 all-cycle figure.
What share of Private Investor FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $9,456,931. The 2012 cell of $645,780 is about 6.8% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.2% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Private Investor hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Does this include only licensed or currently employed Private Investor donors?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string Private Investor. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $645,780 from 90 donors.
Where is the overlay for the Private Investor 2012 join?
Open Private Investor 2012 for the cycle overlay, Private Investor 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.
