Attorney At Law political money — 2012 cycle

On FEC.gov, the employer/industry grouping Attorney At Law and the 2012 election cycle join at $496,693. 145 donors and 523 itemized individual contributions produced that total. The same grouping’s stored lifetime figure is $8,080,474, so this window is about 6.1% of the book. Read the cell as a relationship between a stored string and a two-year tag, not as a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total.

  • 145 donors and 523 receipts are the volume fields.
  • 6.1% of $8,080,474 falls in 2012; $7,583,781 is other years.

  • Quote both dimensions; do not mix in USAspending.

Attorney At Law money that is tagged 2012

$496,693 requires both filters. Attorney At Law alone is the $8,080,474 hub. 2012 alone is every other stored label in that window. The intersection is 523 receipts and 145 donors. Independent expenditures and committee transfers are other FEC tables and are not folded in. The total is not a corporate treasury gift.

The 2012 Attorney At Law cell is a separate two-year window from any other cycle of the same title string. Do not add 2008 dollars into this total. The stored string is ATTORNEY AT LAW. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ATTY, ESQ, and named law firms stay outside this total. Exact-match grouping is mechanical. It is not a judgment about which label is “correct.” Named donors are not invented on this page; 145 is an identity count from the packet.

Use Attorney At Law 2012 for the overlay, Attorney At Law for the grouping, 2012 election cycle for the year, and All FEC ties for other joins. Those four links are the map. This prose does not replace the overlay.

Share of the Attorney At Law lifetime grouping

6.1% of $8,080,474 is $496,693. The other 93.9% is $7,583,781 in other cycles. Because this packet does not list those other cycle dollars one by one, they are cited only as a remainder. Open the Attorney At Law hub to drop the year filter. Treating 2012 as the entire Attorney At Law FEC story would ignore $7,583,781.

A 6.1% cell can be larger or smaller than other even-year windows on the same hub. Without those other amounts in the packet, no year-over-year percent is stated. The lifetime total is a denominator, not a business valuation. Neighboring spellings are not added into $8,080,474 or $496,693.

Arithmetic on 523 lines and 145 donors

$496,693 ÷ 523 ≈ $950 per itemized gift. $496,693 ÷ 145 ≈ $3,425 per donor. 523 ÷ 145 ≈ 3.6 contributions per donor. Packet quotients only. Not medians, not party splits, not typical compensation. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe for those means.

Donor identities can include people who no longer work under the label, household members, and repeat givers. This page does not invent names. 145 is the count the extract published for ATTORNEY AT LAW in 2012. Unitemized federal gifts never appear in $496,693.

2012 without turning it into a national rank

2012 is a presidential cycle on FEC.gov. The two-year window can include gifts from both calendar years. This packet has no cycle-wide dollar, so Attorney At Law is not ranked against other employers in 2012. Ranking would be a third number this file does not contain. Keep both nouns when quoting $496,693.

The cycle hub is the place to browse other strings from the same window. This tie stays on Attorney At Law. Mixing hubs without naming the filter produces a sentence that is no longer a fact from this packet. Open 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Attorney At Law to drop the year.

Scope and non-causation

Itemized individual receipts only. Unitemized gifts, PACs, and independent expenditures are out. USAspending awards are out. $496,693 does not fund federal obligations in this dataset. The page is not a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

A stored occupation string plus a cycle year is a join. It is not evidence that Attorney At Law directed 2012 politics. If live pages disagree with $496,693, 523 contributions, or 145 donors, FEC.gov and the overlay control. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Questions

How much did Attorney At Law donors contribute in 2012?
$496,693 in itemized individual contributions, from 523 receipts and 145 donors, for the stored grouping ATTORNEY AT LAW in the 2012 cycle. That is the two-key join, not the $8,080,474 all-cycle figure. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.
Is the Attorney At Law 2012 total a PAC figure?
No. $496,693 is itemized individual Schedule A activity grouped to ATTORNEY AT LAW. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. 523 contributions and 145 donors describe the individual-receipt cell only, not a committee total. Cite FEC.gov. ATTORNEY AT LAW in 2012 is $496,693 on 523 itemized receipts from 145 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $8,080,474.
Why not treat $8,080,474 as the 2012 number?
$8,080,474 includes every cycle for this string. 2012 is $496,693, about 6.1%. The remaining $7,583,781 belongs on the Attorney At Law hub under other years. This page exists so those filters stay separate and the join is not restated as a hub.
Do these Attorney At Law gifts appear in USAspending?
Not as a fact in this packet. FEC contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets under different reporting rules. $496,693 is not an obligation total and does not fund federal awards here. Keep the join on Schedule A only. Cite FEC.gov. ATTORNEY AT LAW in 2012 is $496,693 on 523 itemized receipts from 145 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $8,080,474.
