VERIZON

2012 Election Cycle

Total Donated

$275,468

Contributions

318

Unique Donors

140

About 8.6% of the Verizon lifetime FEC bucket landed in 2012: $346,080 of $4,014,059. The cycle cell counts 380 contributions and 170 donors on FEC.gov. Read the number as a two-key filter (VERIZON and 2012), not as a Verizon PAC, a wired-telecom NAICS rollup, or Verizon Communications as a sibling string.

Key figures

  • FEC.gov: $346,080 for Verizon donors in 2012.
  • 380 contributions from 170 donors; about $2,036 per donor.
  • 2012 holds 8.6% of $4,014,059; other cycles hold $3,667,979.
  • Self-reported string VERIZON is the only employer key used.
  • Correlation of name and year is not a federal-spending trail.

2012 filtered to Verizon

Apply the Verizon filter to the 2012 election cycle and the remaining money is $346,080. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 380 contributions and 170 donors. The overlay at the cycle path lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Verizon is telecom employer text. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 170 unique donors matched the stored string in 2012. Repeat gifts can raise 380 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Verizon total of $4,014,059 still includes other windows. Citing $4,014,059 as if it were 2012 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2012 hub as if it were Verizon-only would overstate the year.

8.6% in 2012, 91.4% elsewhere

8.6% of stored Verizon money is tagged 2012 ($346,080). 91.4% is not ($3,667,979). Both percentages use $4,014,059 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The industry hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2012 so $4,014,059 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Lifetime Verizon storage is $4,014,059. Subtract the 2012 cell and $3,667,979 remains. That remainder is 91.4% of the grouping. 8.6% is the 2012 share. Both percentages use packet facts only.

Questions

How much did Verizon donors give in 2012?
FEC.gov aggregates show $346,080 in itemized individual contributions for the Verizon grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 380 contributions and 170 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,014,059 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
What share of Verizon FEC money is 2012?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,014,059. The 2012 cell of $346,080 is about 8.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 91.4% ($3,667,979) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
Does this include only Verizon employees?
No. The bucket is the self-reported string VERIZON. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $346,080 from 170 donors across 380 contributions.
Where is the overlay for the Verizon 2012 join?
Open Verizon 2012 for the cycle overlay, Verizon for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Cite FEC.gov for $346,080, 380 contributions, and 170 donors.
