Executive Director political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

Joining EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR to the 2012 cycle

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and the 2012 election cycle. The intersection is $2,576,998 ($2.6 million), 3,507 contributions, and 1,690 donors. 8.2% of Executive Director occupation dollars ($31,486,128) fall in 2012.

The 2012 cycle is an even-year FEC window, a presidential-year cycle in federal itemized receipts. This page does not add 2010 or 2014 dollars into the 2012 total. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is a common nonprofit and association title and also appears in other organizations. The FEC field does not mark 501(c) status. DIRECTOR and CEO remain separate keys. The join does not verify current employment.

Reading EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR without merging sibling titles

On the occupation side, $31,486,128 is the Executive Director total across cycles. Sibling labels (DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and CEO) stay on other pages. Executive Director is not a nonprofit Form 990 officer list, a trade-association PAC, or a director census.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $31,486,128. The Executive Director donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $2,576,998 is a slice of.

Reading 2012 without treating it as all Executive Director money

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Executive Director. $2,576,998 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2012. It is not a 2010 or 2014 midterm-year filter.

3,507 contributions from 1,690 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,576,998, 3,507, and 1,690 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,576,998. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,576,998. Three numbers define the Executive Director × 2012 cell: dollars $2,576,998, contribution rows 3,507, unique donors 1,690. Share of occupation dollars is 8.2% of $31,486,128.

How not to read Executive Director money in 2012

Matching Executive Director with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Executive Director donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a nonprofit Form 990 officer list, a trade-association PAC, or a director census.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is a common nonprofit and association title and also appears in other organizations. The FEC field does not mark 501(c) status. DIRECTOR and CEO remain separate keys. The join does not verify current employment. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Executive Director donations hub is $31,486,128; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Executive Director and 2012 pages

Executive Director donations holds the $31,486,128 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Executive Director. All occupations places EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and CEO). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,576,998 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Executive Director dollars ($31,486,128). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,576,998, 3,507 contributions, 1,690 donors, 8.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Executive Director donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR as the occupation key and 2012 as the cycle key when joining files. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if a later extract disagrees with $2,576,998.

Using the Executive Director 2012 figures in a citation

A usable sentence names both sides: occupation EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, cycle 2012, $2,576,998 itemized, 3,507 contributions, 1,690 donors, source FEC.gov. $2.6 million is a rounded form of $2,576,998.

Do not cite $31,486,128 as the 2012 figure. $31,486,128 is all-cycle Executive Director. Do not cite a cycle-wide total from this page; $2,576,998 is Executive Director only. Sibling strings (DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE, and CEO) remain outside $2,576,998. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,576,998.
