FEC.gov records $334,949 for the string U S GOVERNMENT inside the 2012 election cycle. That cell is 273 itemized contributions and 72 unique donors. Across all cycles the grouping stores $3,913,536, which means 2012 is about 8.6% of the running sum. This page is a join: U S Government on one axis, 2012 on the other — not a Treasury disbursement, a named-agency PAC, or Federal Government as a sibling string.

Key figures

  • U S GOVERNMENT in 2012 totals $334,949 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.
  • 273 contributions and 72 unique donors produced the cell.
  • About 8.6% of $3,913,536 stored for this string sits in 2012 ($3,578,587 remains).
  • U S Government is self-reported employer string as filed, not a named agency, not NAICS and not a donor list.
  • Do not treat campaign gifts as USAspending awards.

Why U S Government and 2012 share a page

U S Government pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2012 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $334,949 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged U S GOVERNMENT in 2012. 273 contributions and 72 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is self-reported employer string as filed, not a named agency. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. A treasury disbursement, a named-agency pac, or federal government as a sibling string would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $3,913,536 on the industry hub and keep the 2012 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $334,949.

2012 as a slice of $3,913,536

$3,913,536 is the all-cycle total stored for U S GOVERNMENT. Subtract $334,949 and $3,578,587 remains in other cycles (91.4%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 8.6% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 8.6% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $334,949 divided by $3,913,536. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 8.6% ratio is $334,949 divided by $3,913,536. Other even-year joins for U S GOVERNMENT are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,578,587. Citing 2012 as if it were the U S Government lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,578,587.
