Chief of Staff occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle
$523,462 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation CHIEF OF STAFF and the 2012 presidential election cycle. That cell covers 549 receipts from 178 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $6.9 million ($6,890,531), so 2012 is 7.6% of the labeled roll. FEC.gov does not split CHIEF OF STAFF into Capitol Hill versus corporate versus hospital desks. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a White House or Hill staff roster, a hospital COS file, or an employer PAC.

Chief of Staff as occupation, 2012 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation CHIEF OF STAFF and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $523,462, 549 contributions, and 178 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. COS, deputy chief of staff, executive assistant, and chief of staff to are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a White House or Hill staff roster, a hospital COS file, or an employer PAC. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.
Parent hubs: Chief Of Staff donations at /occupations/chief-of-staff/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $523,462 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.
Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Chief of Staff in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $523,462. Political office versus corporate versus hospital chief-of-staff roles is unpublished for Chief of Staff in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Under two hundred donor keys carrying five hundred-plus receipts is a concentrated three-word title cell with a high lines-per-donor ratio.
CHIEF OF STAFF, political or corporate unknown
$6.9 million ($6,890,531) belongs to the exact string CHIEF OF STAFF across harvested cycles. It is not a White House or Hill staff roster, a hospital COS file, or an employer PAC. People who wrote nearby wording — COS, deputy chief of staff, executive assistant, and chief of staff to — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 7.6% of that title bucket ($523,462 of $6,890,531). Share of CHIEF OF STAFF is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $6,367,069, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.
Amended individual contribution reports can move $523,462. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $6,890,531. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Chief Of Staff donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $523,462.
178 chief-of-staff donors and 549 receipts in 2012
178 donors and 549 receipts — about 3.1 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $953; mean per donor about $2,941. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Under two hundred donor keys carrying five hundred-plus receipts is a concentrated three-word title cell with a high lines-per-donor ratio. No median is published in this packet.
Repeat gifts add receipts. 549 is a line count, not 178 one-time gifts. Political office versus corporate versus hospital chief-of-staff roles is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by CHIEF OF STAFF. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $523,462. Chief of Staff to a named principal, if stored as a longer string, is another key. This packet keeps the three-word label.
Ambiguous three-word title versus PAC tables
Cite $523,462 as Chief of Staff in 2012. Cite $6,890,531 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add the employer’s PAC to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $523,462 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.6%.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode CHIEF OF STAFF into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.
How to cite Chief of Staff money in 2012
A clean footnote names occupation CHIEF OF STAFF, election cycle 2012, $523,462 in itemized individual contributions, 549 receipts, and 178 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $953 per line and $2,941 per donor in the cell. If the live Chief Of Staff donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 549 as unique workers in the trade named by CHIEF OF STAFF.
This URL exists because two filters meet. Chief Of Staff donations rolls every cycle into one CHIEF OF STAFF running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Chief of Staff × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 549 receipts and $523,462. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Deputy Chief of Staff as a sibling
The occupation hub still holds $6,367,069 outside 2012. Most of the $6,890,531 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Chief of Staff to a named principal, if stored as a longer string, is another key. This packet keeps the three-word label. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 3.1. That ratio is 549 divided by 178, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
