Coldwell Banker and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Reading $345,616 as an intersection

$345,616 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is Coldwell Banker (COLDWELL BANKER). The cycle filter is 2012. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 463 lines, and the 198 donors.

Because the grouping is real-estate brokerage employer text, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.

Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for Coldwell Banker. Use the 2012 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $5,020,860 denominator

Divide $345,616 by $5,020,860 and the result is about 6.9%. The complementary share is 93.1%, or $4,675,244 outside 2012. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$5,020,860 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched COLDWELL BANKER in any cycle in this table. The denominator $5,020,860 is every cycle stored for COLDWELL BANKER, not revenue and not assets. $345,616 over $5,020,860 is about 6.9%. The leftover $4,675,244 is other even-year windows on the Coldwell Banker hub.

$746 per contribution, $1,746 per donor

Per-gift mean $746 and per-donor mean $1,746 follow from $345,616, 463, and 198. About 2.3 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed COLDWELL BANKER as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $746 per itemized contribution, $1,746 per unique donor, 2.3 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $345,616, 463, and 198. They are not medians.

Cycle tag versus calendar year

Calendar year 2012 and FEC cycle 2012 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $345,616. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Coldwell Banker remains one grouping among many on the 2012 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. 2012 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $345,616 is the two-year cell.

Correlation is not a spending trail

A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $345,616 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that Coldwell Banker as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record. PAC filings sit outside $345,616. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is real-estate brokerage employer text, not a Coldwell Banker PAC, a NAICS brokerage rollup, or franchisee legal names stored as other keys.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: the 2012 overlay for this string, the Coldwell Banker industry hub, the 2012 election cycle hub, and the ties index. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.

This snapshot recorded $345,616 from 463 contributions and 198 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($345,616), then both keys (Coldwell Banker, 2012), then volume (463 contributions, 198 donors), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: Coldwell Banker in 2012 is $345,616 from 463 itemized individual contributions and 198 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $5,020,860 across cycles, so 2012 is about 6.9% and other windows hold $4,675,244 (93.1%). The grouping is real-estate brokerage employer text, not a Coldwell Banker PAC, a NAICS brokerage rollup, or franchisee legal names stored as other keys. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $746; mean per donor about $1,746; about 2.3 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $345,616.
