STATE OF CALIFORNIA

State of California employer text × 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — State of California and 2012 — sum to $743,396. 751 itemized contributions and 244 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 State of California hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Two hundred forty-four donors and 751 lines in 2012 listed State of California as employer. The string is workplace text, not a controller’s warrant. University of California is a neighboring campus key with its own 2012 cell. Named departments that filers typed in full sit on those more specific keys. CALIFORNIA, STATE OF CA, CALIFORNIA STATE, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, and named California agencies are other keys.

9.2% of the State of California roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,112,855 ($8.1 million). The 2012 slice of $743,396 is about 9.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.8%. Treating 2012 as the State of California FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,112,855 as the denominator for the 9.2% 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 $8,112,855.
