Director political money in the 2012 election cycle

Director meeting the 2012 election cycle

2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Director occupation grouping with that year produces $8,486,319, 8,317 lines, and 4,047 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $88,429,618 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $2,097 per donor ($8,486,319 ÷ 4,047) and about $1,020 per contribution ($8,486,319 ÷ 8,317) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.1 (8,317 ÷ 4,047). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2012 election-cycle hub places Director beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $8,486,319 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

9.6% of the Director all-cycle grouping

9.6% is $8,486,319 divided by $88,429,618. The leftover $79,943,299 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 9.6% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Presidential solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 8,317 lines still describe only receipts tagged Director in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 9.6% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Director spans board, film, and nonprofit titles

DIRECTOR is a short occupation word. It can mean a corporate board director, a program director, a film director, or a museum director. FEC.gov does not disambiguate. MANAGING DIRECTOR and EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, if indexed, are other keys.

A person who typed the organization name as employer without Director may be out. A person who typed Director without an employer sector is in. This page does not recode the word into industries. The Director string is the filter.

What Director money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a Hollywood PAC, not a museum PAC, and not a board-of-directors census. Independent expenditures about media or nonprofits are other FEC objects.

Federal grants to organizations whose directors donated are USAspending objects. This join does not claim that Director-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.

Pages that keep Director and 2012 apart

The Director occupation page holds $88,429,618 and other years. The 2012 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Director and 2012 — whenever $8,486,319 is quoted. Cite 8,317 contributions, 4,047 donors, 9.6% of $88,429,618, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 4,047 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Director × 2012

A complete claim names Director and 2012, then $8,486,319, 8,317 contributions, 4,047 donors, and 9.6% of $88,429,618, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 4,047-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Director increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $8,486,319 and the 9.6% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $88,429,618 and other cycles.

2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Director in 2012: $8,486,319 on 8,317 lines from 4,047 donors. About $1,020 per line and $2,097 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 8,317 without raising unique people above 4,047.

Committee-level rows inside the Director cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.
