Sales itemized receipts tagged to 2012

SALES × 2012 totals $402,145 from 194 donors and 577 lines. Occupation text this short mixes many employers. One hundred ninety-four unique donors are not a national sales workforce. SALES is an occupation string, not a named retailer. People who stored a company name in the employer field sit on other keys. This page publishes only the SALES grouping.

Recipient committees and disclosed contributor names are not in these headline facts. Use the Sales 2012 overlay for those rows.

The SALES total across cycles

The industry book $6,304,302 is not a corporate political budget. It is a sum of Schedule A lines that grouped to this string across cycles. 2012 is one clock on that tape.

A share of 6.38% does not rank Sales against other employers in 2012. Ranking is not in the packet.
