Broker political money in the 2012 election cycle

Broker as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

LobbyVault stores this URL because two tables share rows: the Broker occupation aggregate and the 2012 election-cycle aggregate. The overlap is $699,046 on 786 itemized individual lines from 430 donor keys. BROKER is a one-word title. Securities, real estate, and insurance brokers who typed more specific words sit in other keys. FEC.gov does not verify a license. Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Broker in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $699,046.

Share of BROKER is not share of all 2012 receipts. 6.0% describes this title bucket only. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Broker in other even years is not this $699,046 cell. Keep 2012 in the sentence when the dollars move.

A large Broker occupation total across cycles

Open Broker donations for the $11,582,453 roll. That hub still holds $10,883,407 outside 2012. Most of the occupation total is not this cycle’s cell when the year share is 6.0%. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year.

Broker in 2012 is still the same filer-entered string as every other year on the occupation hub. What changes is the two-year clock and the harvested sums $699,046, 786, and 430. Keep both sides of the name when the dollars are quoted.

430 donors and a four-figure mean gift

786 is a line count, not 430 one-time gifts. Repeat itemization inside the same two-year window raises the gifts-per-donor figure to about 1.8. Mean dollars remain about $889 per line and $1,626 per donor in the cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by BROKER.

Donor keys are not named on this page. The packet supplies counts, not identities. Do not invent contributors, employers, or committees to explain $699,046. Stockbroker, Real Estate Broker, and Insurance Broker are other keys when those words appear. The 2012 election cycle hub is the next click for named committees in that year, still without attaching those names to this occupation cell unless the live table shows the join.

What 6.0% of Broker-coded dollars is not

Broker in 2012 is not a FINRA CRD extract or a state broker-license file. It is not a FINRA census, a real-estate license file, or an insurance-producer roll. The harvested occupation field is the string BROKER. Recodes into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class are researcher-built and are not this join.

Unitemized money never appears in $699,046. In-kind goods and earmarks without this occupation string are outside the cell. Committee PACs and other committee filings sit on committee reports, not on this individual-contribution occupation join. Keep itemized in the sentence.

How to cite Broker × 2012

Write Broker, 2012, $699,046, 786 contributions, and 430 donors in one sentence. Add 6.0% of $11,582,453 if the occupation share matters. Source FEC.gov. That sentence is the join. It is not a license census and not a federal award total.

Live tables remain the occupation hub and the 2012 cycle hub. This prose is a packet snapshot of the join. If FEC.gov restates an amendment, the overlay updates; do not keep a stale $699,046 after the live Broker table has moved.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and sibling keys

Use Broker donations when the question is every cycle under BROKER. Use the 2012 election cycle when the question is every occupation in 2012. Use this page when the question is both: Broker and 2012, $699,046, 786 receipts, 430 donors.

Repeat the four numbers together: $699,046 in the 2012 cycle, 786 contributions, 430 donors, and 6.0% of $11,582,453. That sentence is the join. It is not a license census and not a federal award total. Broker in other even years is not this $699,046 cell. Keep 2012 in the sentence when the dollars move.

Broker remains a filer-entered occupation string on FEC Form 3/3X itemizations. The 2012 presidential window is the second filter. Together they produce $699,046, 786 contributions, and 430 donors. Researchers who need employer, committee, or party splits must leave this packet; those dimensions are not facts here. Neighboring titles Stockbroker, Real Estate Broker, and Insurance Broker stay on their own occupation hubs. The occupation total $11,582,453 still includes every other harvested cycle, which is why $10,883,407 sits off this page. Cite FEC.gov. Do not attach $699,046 to a FINRA CRD extract or a state broker-license file or to a brokerage PAC or a realtor-association committee. Do not attach it to USAspending.gov awards. The join is the occupation BROKER and the election cycle 2012, nothing else.
