Banker political money in the 2012 election cycle

Banker meeting the 2012 election cycle

2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Banker occupation grouping with that year produces $7,673,070, 5,998 lines, and 3,085 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $58,732,088 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $2,487 per donor ($7,673,070 ÷ 3,085) and about $1,279 per contribution ($7,673,070 ÷ 5,998) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 1.9 (5,998 ÷ 3,085). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2012 election-cycle hub places Banker beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $7,673,070 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

13.1% of the Banker all-cycle grouping

13.1% is $7,673,070 divided by $58,732,088. The leftover $51,059,018 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 13.1% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Presidential solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 5,998 lines still describe only receipts tagged Banker in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 13.1% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Banker is not an FDIC roster

BANKER is filer-entered occupation text. FEC.gov does not match it to call reports or a FINRA CRD. FINANCE, INVESTMENTS, and a bank’s legal employer name are neighboring keys. A teller who typed the bank name is usually on an industry hub.

Investment banker versus community banker is not split in this aggregate. This page does not recode NAICS 522. The Banker string is the filter. Staff who typed MANAGING DIRECTOR at a bank may sit in that title key instead.

What Banker money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a bank PAC, not TARP history, and not independent expenditures about financial regulation. FDIC and OCC headcounts do not feed this aggregate.

Federal awards to depository institutions are USAspending objects. This join does not claim that Banker-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.

Pages that keep Banker and 2012 apart

The Banker occupation page holds $58,732,088 and other years. The 2012 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Banker and 2012 — whenever $7,673,070 is quoted. Cite 5,998 contributions, 3,085 donors, 13.1% of $58,732,088, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 3,085 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Banker × 2012

A complete claim names Banker and 2012, then $7,673,070, 5,998 contributions, 3,085 donors, and 13.1% of $58,732,088, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 3,085-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Banker increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $7,673,070 and the 13.1% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $58,732,088 and other cycles.

2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Banker in 2012: $7,673,070 on 5,998 lines from 3,085 donors. About $1,279 per line and $2,487 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 5,998 without raising unique people above 3,085.

Committee-level rows inside the Banker cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.
