FEC.gov records $355,617 for the string US House of Representatives inside the 2012 election cycle. That cell is 438 itemized contributions and 105 unique donors. Across all cycles the grouping stores $4,296,168, which means 2012 is about 8.3% of the running sum. This page is a join: US House of Representatives on one axis, 2012 on the other — not the House as an institution treasury, a leadership PAC rollup, or Members' official allowances.

Key figures

  • US House of Representatives in 2012 totals $355,617 on FEC.gov itemized individual receipts.
  • 438 contributions and 105 unique donors produced the cell.
  • About 8.3% of $4,296,168 stored for this string sits in 2012 ($3,940,551 remains).
  • US House of Representatives is employer-field text for people listing the House, not official House accounts, not NAICS and not a donor list.
  • Do not treat campaign gifts as USAspending awards.

Why US House of Representatives and 2012 share a page

US House of Representatives 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: $355,617 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged US House of Representatives in 2012. 438 contributions and 105 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is employer-field text for people listing the House, not official House accounts. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. The house as an institution treasury, a leadership pac rollup, or members' official allowances would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $4,296,168 on the industry hub and keep the 2012 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $355,617.

2012 as a slice of $4,296,168

$4,296,168 is the all-cycle total stored for US House of Representatives. Subtract $355,617 and $3,940,551 remains in other cycles (91.7%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 8.3% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 8.3% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $355,617 divided by $4,296,168. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 8.3% ratio is $355,617 divided by $4,296,168. Other even-year joins for US House of Representatives are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,940,551. Citing 2012 as if it were the US House of Representatives lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,940,551.
