$1,429,250 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle cell for the Thomas H Lee Co employer grouping. Six donors and 45 contributions produced that sum on FEC.gov individual records. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,493,576, so this presidential window holds about 8.7% of the lifetime bucket — the same employer string as the 2014 Thomas H Lee Co join, crossed here with 2012.

Key figures

  • $1,429,250 joins Thomas H Lee Co to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 45 contributions from 6 donors concentrate the cell.
  • 2012 is about 8.7% of the grouping’s $16,493,576 lifetime total.
  • This join is 2012 only; employer tags are not PAC filings or USAspending awards.

Thomas H Lee Co × 2012, a different window than 2014

The employer hub stacks every cycle for Thomas H Lee Co into $16,493,576. Each cycle still gets its own relationship page. This one is 2012: $1,429,250 from 45 itemized gifts and 6 unique donors. It is not the 2014 cell, and it is not the hub.

Average contribution is about $31,761; average per donor is about $238,208. Those ratios still describe a concentrated private-equity employer string, but six donor keys is a wider base than a four-donor midterm cell for the same grouping. That is a description of two table rows, not a finding about the firm’s politics.

Employer text remains self-reported. Spellings of Thomas H. Lee Partners and THL may or may not sit in this same bucket.

About 9% of the grouping’s FEC total

$1,429,250 divided by $16,493,576 is about 8.7%. Other windows hold about 91%. A presidential-year cell near 9% is a substantial chapter for this employer string, not a majority of the lifetime total.

The industry hub is the place to line 2012 up next to other Thomas H Lee Co cycle cells. This tie only certifies the 2012 arithmetic.

Questions

How much FEC money links Thomas H Lee Co to 2012?
The 2012-cycle cell is $1,429,250 in itemized individual contributions, from 45 contributions and 6 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That join is not PAC spending and not the grouping’s $16,493,576 all-cycle total. 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.
Is this the same as the Thomas H Lee Co 2014 page?
No. Both pages share the same employer grouping and the same lifetime total of $16,493,576, but the cycle keys differ. 2012 is $1,429,250 from 6 donors. This join is only the 2012 overlap. 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.
Did the firm itself donate $1,429,250?
The file is individual contributions tagged with the Thomas H Lee Co employer grouping. Those receipts are personal gifts. Corporate or PAC filings, if they exist under a similar name, are a different FEC form family. 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.
Are these donations connected to federal awards?
No. This page reports FEC individual contribution aggregates. It does not include USAspending obligations and does not claim that campaign receipts funded federal 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.
