Chief Financial Officer donations in the 2012 FEC cycle

Chief Financial Officer as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,215,515, 1,042 contributions, and 429 donors. 2012 is a spelled-out finance-officer cell, kept separate from CFO. The occupation hub rolls every cycle that used this spelling. The 2012 election-cycle hub rolls every occupation that filed that cycle. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Chief Financial Officer is a spelled-out officer title, not an abbreviation recode. Nearby strings — CFO, FINANCE, CONTROLLER, and TREASURER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,215,515 or $10,502,686. CFO and CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER can split the same people across filings.

2012’s dollar share is 11.6% ($1,215,515 of $10,502,686). The remainder sits in other cycles on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,215,515.

The Chief Financial Officer string across cycles

Under the exact label CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, harvested individual contributions sum to $10.5 million ($10,502,686). The 2012 cell is 11.6% of that occupation total. The FEC file does not verify that the donor is a sitting chief financial officer. A share in a presidential cycle is a slice, not proof that the remaining dollars sat in any particular other year. Those other years are not in this packet.

Chief Financial Officer is not a public-company officer census and not a firm PAC. Open Chief Financial Officer donations for the $10,502,686 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

2012 receipts and donors

Inside the 2012 cell, 1,042 itemized contributions map to 429 donors. That is about 2.4 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,167; dollars per donor average about $2,833. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

Presidential-year volume can mix primary, general, and other receipts dated to 2012. This packet does not split $1,215,515 by those stages or by party. The 2012 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Chief Financial Officer row. 429 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2012, not a turnout figure.

How to read the two dollar columns

Keep $1,215,515 attached to 2012 and $10,502,686 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2012 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award, a research grant, or a USAspending obligation. Quote $1,215,515 with both nouns: Chief Financial Officer and 2012.

What the Chief Financial Officer–2012 join does not claim

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Chief Financial Officer is not a public-company officer census and not a firm PAC. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $1.2 million. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

No motive, no vote, no ranking of occupations. Not a 10-K officer list, not a CPA roster, and not a Fortune ranking. Use All occupations to compare other labels; use All FEC ties for other joins. 1,042 receipts and 429 donors are the volume facts for this join.

Questions

How much did chief financial officers donate in 2012?

Filers who wrote Chief Financial Officer on FEC individual contribution records itemized $1,215,515 in the 2012 cycle, across 1,042 receipts from 429 donors. That cell is 11.6% of $10,502,686 harvested under the same exact occupation string. Nearby spellings are counted on other occupation pages.

Is Chief Financial Officer the same as CFO?

This join uses the spelled-out string CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. Filers who typed CFO may sit in a different occupation bucket. Controller and Treasurer are other keys. The FEC file does not confirm a current C-suite seat or a CPA license.

What is an occupation-cycle join on LobbyVault?

It is the overlap of one self-reported occupation key and one even-numbered FEC cycle. The occupation hub holds $10.5 million for this string across cycles. The cycle hub holds every occupation that filed in 2012. This page reports only the overlapping cell, $1.2 million, so the two dimensions are not restated as one table.

Does the 2012 Chief Financial Officer total include PACs or party committees?

$1,215,515 is an aggregate of individual contributions whose occupation field matches this string. It is not PAC independent spending, not committee-to-committee transfers, and not a party split. This packet has no party field. Open the Chief Financial Officer donations hub or the 2012 election cycle hub for committee-level rows.
