Agent occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

What 1,877 gifts and 451 donors measure

An occupation-cycle page is not a restatement of Agent and not a restatement of 2012. It is the cell where they meet: $809,200, 1,877 contributions, 451 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle are the source note.

On the occupation side, Agent is a one-word occupation string that collapses many agent trades. On the cycle side, 2012 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $809,200.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $11,103,127 is the lifetime Agent bucket. The 2012 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $809,200.

Neighboring keys around Agent

INSURANCE AGENT, REAL ESTATE AGENT, and TALENT AGENT remain other pages. This file does not add them. $809,200 is the exact-string 2012 cell for AGENT.

Self-reported titles split across spellings. Researchers who need a profession-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the occupation index rather than assume $11,103,127 is complete. The 7.3% ratio is $809,200 divided by $11,103,127. Other even-year joins for AGENT are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $10,293,927. Citing 2012 as if it were the Agent lifetime total would overstate this cell by $10,293,927.

What 451 unique donors are not

451 unique donors are not a census of Agent. They are the identities attached to 1,877 itemized rows that summed to $809,200. Mean gift $431; mean per donor $1,794; about 4.2 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That can inflate donor counts relative to a strict practitioner roster that this table does not have. A mean of $431 per itemized line and $1,794 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 1,877 contributions remaining larger than 451 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

2012 is not the whole Agent story

Agent across all cycles is $11,103,127. Agent in 2012 is $809,200 — about 7.3%. The gap is $10,293,927. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2012 overlay still sees $809,200 for this string, not $11,103,127. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the year filter to recover $809,200. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $809,200 if they were itemized against AGENT. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Outside $809,200: PACs, unitemized, awards

Outside $809,200: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC spending, and any federal award table. Inside $809,200: itemized individual receipts matching AGENT in cycle 2012.

The page is a one-word occupation string that collapses many agent trades, not an insurance-agent PAC, a talent-agency census, or Realtor stored as another key. Naming those exclusions keeps the join from being read as a guild political budget. Agent as a one-word occupation string that collapses many agent trades can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $809,200. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

Snapshot versus live overlay

JSON copy is written once from a packet. Hubs can refresh. If live pages show a different total than $809,200, use the live overlay and FEC.gov. The canonical path for this explanation is /ties/agent-2012-donations/.

The body facts remain: AGENT × 2012 = $809,200, 1,877 contributions, 451 donors, 7.3% of $11,103,127. No other dollars are authorized. Quote both keys: Agent and 2012. Quote the dollars: $809,200. Quote the volume: 1,877 contributions, 451 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them. Restating the join without new numbers: Agent in 2012 is $809,200 from 1,877 itemized individual contributions and 451 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $11,103,127 across cycles, so 2012 is about 7.3% and other windows hold $10,293,927 (92.7%). The grouping is a one-word occupation string that collapses many agent trades, not an insurance-agent PAC, a talent-agency census, or Realtor stored as another key. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $431; mean per donor about $1,794; about 4.2 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $809,200.
