Electrical Contractor occupation money in the 2012 cycle

What 619 gifts and 316 donors measure

An occupation-cycle page is not a restatement of Electrical Contractor and not a restatement of 2012. It is the cell where they meet: $654,478, 619 contributions, 316 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle are the source note.

On the occupation side, Electrical Contractor is a trade occupation string, not an IBEW membership roll. On the cycle side, 2012 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $654,478.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $6,243,964 is the lifetime Electrical Contractor bucket. The 2012 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $654,478.

Neighboring keys around Electrical Contractor

ELECTRICIAN, CONTRACTOR, and ELECTRICAL ENGINEER remain other pages. This file does not add them. $654,478 is the exact-string 2012 cell for ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR.

Self-reported titles split across spellings. Researchers who need a profession-level view must inspect neighboring keys on the occupation index rather than assume $6,243,964 is complete. The 10.5% ratio is $654,478 divided by $6,243,964. Other even-year joins for ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $5,589,486. Citing 2012 as if it were the Electrical Contractor lifetime total would overstate this cell by $5,589,486.

What 316 unique donors are not

316 unique donors are not a census of Electrical Contractor. They are the identities attached to 619 itemized rows that summed to $654,478. Mean gift $1,057; mean per donor $2,071; about 2.0 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That can inflate donor counts relative to a strict practitioner roster that this table does not have. A mean of $1,057 per itemized line and $2,071 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 619 contributions remaining larger than 316 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

2012 is not the whole Electrical Contractor story

Electrical Contractor across all cycles is $6,243,964. Electrical Contractor in 2012 is $654,478 — about 10.5%. The gap is $5,589,486. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2012 overlay still sees $654,478 for this string, not $6,243,964. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the year filter to recover $654,478. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $654,478 if they were itemized against ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Outside $654,478: PACs, unitemized, awards

Outside $654,478: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC spending, and any federal award table. Inside $654,478: itemized individual receipts matching ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR in cycle 2012.

The page is a trade occupation string, not an IBEW membership roll, not an electrical-contractors PAC, ELECTRICIAN as a neighboring key, or a firm census. Naming those exclusions keeps the join from being read as a guild political budget. Electrical Contractor as a trade occupation string, not an IBEW membership roll can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $654,478. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

Snapshot versus live overlay

JSON copy is written once from a packet. Hubs can refresh. If live pages show a different total than $654,478, use the live overlay and FEC.gov. The canonical path for this explanation is /ties/electrical-contractor-2012-donations/.

The body facts remain: ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR × 2012 = $654,478, 619 contributions, 316 donors, 10.5% of $6,243,964. No other dollars are authorized. Quote both keys: Electrical Contractor and 2012. Quote the dollars: $654,478. Quote the volume: 619 contributions, 316 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them. Restating the join without new numbers: Electrical Contractor in 2012 is $654,478 from 619 itemized individual contributions and 316 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $6,243,964 across cycles, so 2012 is about 10.5% and other windows hold $5,589,486 (89.5%). The grouping is a trade occupation string, not an IBEW membership roll, not an electrical-contractors PAC, ELECTRICIAN as a neighboring key, or a firm census. 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 $1,057; mean per donor about $2,071; about 2.0 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 $654,478.
