Energy Transfer Co and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Reading $262,300 as an intersection

$262,300 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is Energy Transfer Co (ENERGY TRANSFER CO). The cycle filter is 2012. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 6 lines, and the 1 donor.

Because the grouping is energy-company 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 Energy Transfer Co. Use the 2012 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.

The $12,952,657 denominator

Divide $262,300 by $12,952,657 and the result is about 2.0%. The complementary share is 98.0%, or $12,690,357 outside 2012. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$12,952,657 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched ENERGY TRANSFER CO in any cycle in this table. The denominator $12,952,657 is every cycle stored for ENERGY TRANSFER CO, not revenue and not assets. $262,300 over $12,952,657 is about 2.0%. The leftover $12,690,357 is other even-year windows on the Energy Transfer Co hub.

$43,717 per contribution, $262,300 per donor

Per-gift mean $43,717 and per-donor mean $262,300 follow from $262,300, 6, and 1. About 6.0 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts. The donor count is 1: one unique contributor identity in this aggregate, not a named person in this JSON file.

Contributor identities can include people who listed ENERGY TRANSFER CO as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $43,717 per itemized contribution, $262,300 per unique donor, 6.0 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $262,300, 6, and 1. 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 $262,300. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.

Energy Transfer Co 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. $262,300 is the two-year cell.

Correlation is not a spending trail

A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $262,300 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that Energy Transfer Co 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 $262,300. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is energy-company employer text, not Energy Transfer PAC, a pipeline NAICS rollup, or Energy Transfer Partners as a sibling string.

Using the four internal links

Four hrefs cover the join: the 2012 overlay for this string, the Energy Transfer Co 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 $262,300 from 6 contributions and 1 donor. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($262,300), then both keys (Energy Transfer Co, 2012), then volume (6 contributions, 1 donor), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: Energy Transfer Co in 2012 is $262,300 from 6 itemized individual contributions and 1 unique donor on FEC.gov. The same string stores $12,952,657 across cycles, so 2012 is about 2.0% and other windows hold $12,690,357 (98.0%). The grouping is energy-company employer text, not Energy Transfer PAC, a pipeline NAICS rollup, or Energy Transfer Partners as a sibling string. 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 $43,717; mean per donor about $262,300; about 6.0 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 $262,300.
