US Senate in 2012 is $298,679 in itemized individual contributions. FEC.gov counts 337 contributions from 85 donors against the stored string US SENATE. Other cycles hold $4,214,436 (93.4%) of the $4,513,115 lifetime total. The relationship is self-reported employer string, not a chamber disbursement crossed with a two-year cycle, not Senate appropriations, a leadership PAC rollup, or U.S. Senate as a punctuation variant.
Key figures
- US Senate and 2012 together: $298,679.
- Counts: 337 contributions, 85 donors.

Reading $298,679 as an intersection
$298,679 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is US Senate (US SENATE). The cycle filter is 2012. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 337 lines, and the 85 donors.
Because the grouping is self-reported employer string, not a chamber disbursement, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.
Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for US Senate. Use the 2012 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.
The $4,513,115 denominator
Divide $298,679 by $4,513,115 and the result is about 6.6%. The complementary share is 93.4%, or $4,214,436 outside 2012. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.
$4,513,115 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched US SENATE in any cycle in this table. The denominator $4,513,115 is every cycle stored for US SENATE, not revenue and not assets. $298,679 over $4,513,115 is about 6.6%. The leftover $4,214,436 is other even-year windows on the US Senate hub.
