Chief Operating Officer money in the 2012 cycle
$1,104,460 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER and the 2012 election cycle. That cell covers 845 contributions from 380 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $10,490,066, so 2012 is 10.5% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a C-suite payroll file, a COO association roster, or a company PAC.

Chief Operating Officer as occupation, 2012 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,104,460, 845 contributions, and 380 donors. CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER in 2012 is a spelled-out officer title. FEC.gov does not merge it with the abbreviation COO. The occupation hub is $10,490,066 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.
2012’s dollar share is 10.5% ($1,104,460 of $10,490,066). The remainder, $9,385,606, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a mid-scale officer-title cell, not a handful of named executives. 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 $1,104,460.
The spelled-out COO title across every cycle
$10,490,066 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. COO, Chief Executive Officer, and President are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $10,490,066 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.
Open Chief Operating Officer donations for the $10,490,066 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.
380 donors and a four-figure mean gift
Dividing $1,104,460 by 845 contributions yields about $1,307 per gift. Dividing by 380 donors yields about $2,906 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.2 (845 ÷ 380). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.
380 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 380 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. If a filer typed COO instead of the spelled-out title, those receipts sit on a different occupation page if stored separately.
What Chief Operating Officer dollars in 2012 are not
A 10.5% share of Chief Operating Officer-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. 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. Quote $1,104,460 as itemized individual receipts tagged CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.
How to cite Chief Operating Officer × 2012
A complete claim names Chief Operating Officer and 2012, then $1,104,460, 845 contributions, 380 donors, and 10.5% of $10,490,066, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 380 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Chief Operating Officer and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,307 and mean per donor $2,906 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.
Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and COO as a sibling
The occupation hub still holds $9,385,606 outside 2012. Most of the $10,490,066 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. COO, Chief Executive Officer, and President are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.2. That ratio is 845 divided by 380, not a measure of turnout.
