Chairman political money in the 2012 election cycle
Donors who listed Chairman as their occupation account for $14,231,723 in itemized individual contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle. The slice covers 3,034 contributions from 1,494 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $98,545,716, so 2012 is 14.4% of that roll. Chairman is a job label on a federal receipt, not a license file and not a connected PAC.

Chairman meeting the 2012 election cycle
2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Chairman occupation grouping with that year produces $14,231,723, 3,034 lines, and 1,494 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $98,545,716 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.
About $9,526 per donor ($14,231,723 ÷ 1,494) and about $4,691 per contribution ($14,231,723 ÷ 3,034) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.0 (3,034 ÷ 1,494). 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 Chairman beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $14,231,723 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.
14.4% of the Chairman all-cycle grouping
14.4% is $14,231,723 divided by $98,545,716. The leftover $84,313,993 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 14.4% 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. 3,034 lines still describe only receipts tagged Chairman in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 14.4% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.
Chairman is a title on a receipt, not a board census
CHAIRMAN is filer-entered occupation text. FEC.gov does not check corporate minutes, nonprofit bylaws, or whether the person chairs a public company, a PAC, or a local board. Chairwoman, Chair, and Board Chair may sit in other keys if stored separately.
CEO, PRESIDENT, and EXECUTIVE are neighboring title keys. A person who chairs a company and typed CEO is probably not in this cell. This page does not recode titles into an executive rollup. The Chairman string is the filter.
What Chairman money in this cycle is not
The cell is not a count of Fortune-listed chairs and not a connected PAC for any one firm. Independent expenditures about corporate governance are other FEC objects. Board-fee income is not reported here.
Federal contracts to companies whose chairs donated are USAspending objects. This join does not claim that Chairman-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.
Pages that keep Chairman and 2012 apart
The Chairman occupation page holds $98,545,716 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 — Chairman and 2012 — whenever $14,231,723 is quoted. Cite 3,034 contributions, 1,494 donors, 14.4% of $98,545,716, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 1,494 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.
How to cite Chairman × 2012
A complete claim names Chairman and 2012, then $14,231,723, 3,034 contributions, 1,494 donors, and 14.4% of $98,545,716, 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 1,494-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Chairman increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $14,231,723 and the 14.4% 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 $98,545,716 and other cycles.
2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Chairman in 2012: $14,231,723 on 3,034 lines from 1,494 donors. About $4,691 per line and $9,526 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 3,034 without raising unique people above 1,494.
Committee-level rows inside the Chairman 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.

- Does this include people who listed a company instead of Chairman?
- Usually not. Named firms are other industry keys. Neighboring titles are other occupation keys. This cell is the grouped Chairman string in 2012. Mixing keys would blur the 1,494-donor count.
