How much did Greenwich, CT donors give in 2012?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city GREENWICH and cycle 2012 total $586,190 across 377 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Greenwich, CT book of $281.2 million. Unitemized gifts and Connecticut state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $586,190 all of Greenwich’s federal political money?

No. $281.2 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city GREENWICH in CT. The 2012 slice is $586,190, 0.2% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Greenwich, CT hub. 377 is a 2012 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2012 Greenwich total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed GREENWICH with state CT. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Greenwich can sit in $586,190 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Greenwich, CT 2012 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $586,190 and 377 lines for GREENWICH in cycle 2012, and $281.2 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

Greenwich, CT political money in the 2012 election cycle

Filers listing Greenwich, CT reported $586,190 in itemized individual contributions during the 2012 presidential election cycle, across 377 FEC receipts. That dollar figure is the city-and-cycle join, not Greenwich’s all-cycle book of $281.2 million and not a national 2012 total. Source: FEC.gov Schedule A aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

City GREENWICH is filer-entered; 2012 is the FEC cycle tag.
If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

How Greenwich meets the 2012 election cycle

$586,190 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city GREENWICH with state CT, and election cycle 2012. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Greenwich, CT city hub and the 2012 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Greenwich, CT in 2012.

377 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored GREENWICH is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,555 ($586,190 ÷ 377). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2012 is a presidential election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $586,190. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $586,190 for the 2012 slice and $281.2 million for the Greenwich, CT book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Greenwich, CT side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city GREENWICH in Connecticut totals $281.2 million. $586,190 is 0.2% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2012 was quiet in Greenwich; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Greenwich, CT table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Stamford and New York City rows are not this Connecticut key. State CT stays on the citation so Greenwich is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $281.2 million is the CT key only.

The 2012 cycle side for Connecticut filers in Greenwich

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2012 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 377 Greenwich, CT lines in that window produced $586,190. National 2012 activity — every city — lives on the 2012 election cycle hub, not here.

Connecticut campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Greenwich. Do not add $586,190 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $586,190 into spending by Greenwich candidates.

What $586,190 does not measure

$586,190 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city GREENWICH. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Connecticut file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Greenwich can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed GREENWICH is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Greenwich. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 377 as lines that stored this string in 2012.

Reading Greenwich and 2012 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $586,190 beside $281.2 million does not mean 2012 “caused” the city book or that Greenwich “drove” the 2012 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Greenwich, CT hub or the live 2012 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Greenwich, CT, the 2012 election cycle, Connecticut campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $586,190 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
