2012 Election Cycle

Contributions

$1,888,218 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle cell for the occupation grouping Real Estate Developer. FEC.gov aggregates count 997 contributions from 219 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $22,018,134, so this presidential window holds about 8.6% of the lifetime bucket — a more specific label than Developer alone, and still only a join of two fields.

Key figures

  • $1,888,218 joins Real Estate Developer to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 997 contributions from 219 donors produced that cell.
  • 2012 is about 8.6% of the grouping’s $22,018,134 lifetime total.
  • The phrase is self-reported occupation text, distinct from the one-word Developer bucket.

The longer occupation string meets 2012

Real Estate Developer is a self-reported occupation phrase. It is not a license file and not a NAICS code. The 2012 cycle is the other key. Dollars land here only when both match. That intersection is $1,888,218, built from 997 itemized gifts and 219 unique donors.

Average contribution is about $1,894; average per donor is about $8,622. Those means sit above a single small itemized gift and below the single-donor employer cells in this batch. The pattern is a mid-sized occupation cluster in a presidential year.

A shorter grouping labeled Developer is a different bucket. Receipts that used only the one-word form do not automatically appear in this cell.

Share of the Real Estate Developer lifetime total

$22,018,134 is every cycle combined for this phrase. $1,888,218 in 2012 is about 8.6% of that stack. Other windows hold a little more than 91%. The 2012 overlay is the wrong place to read the full occupation history, even though a presidential year can be one of the larger cells.

Lifetime scale here is smaller than the one-word Developer bucket in this table. That difference is a difference in how filers wrote the field, not a finding that one labor market is larger than the other.

Questions

How much FEC money links Real Estate Developer to 2012?
The 2012-cycle cell is $1,888,218 in itemized individual contributions, from 997 contributions and 219 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the grouping’s $22,018,134 all-cycle total.
Is this the same as the Developer grouping?
No. This bucket is the longer self-reported string Real Estate Developer. A one-word Developer grouping is stored separately. A receipt appears here only if the pipeline grouped it to this phrase. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
What share of the occupation’s FEC total fell in 2012?
About 8.6%. $1,888,218 divided by $22,018,134 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold the rest on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Do these donations pay for federal housing or infrastructure awards?
No. The figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are a separate USAspending ledger. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
