Financial Advisor political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

The Financial Advisor × 2012 intersection

Financial Advisor in 2012 is $2,705,763 on 2,742 itemized lines from 1,386 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2012 accounts for 9.9% of the Financial Advisor occupation total ($2,705,763 of $27,416,858). Most Financial Advisor-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

2,742 contributions from 1,386 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 1,386 people still used that title after 2012.

This page is not a restatement of the Financial Advisor hub or of the 2012 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $2,705,763.

The Financial Advisor occupation hub behind $27,416,858

Filers who typed financial advisor produced the all-cycle occupation total of $27,416,858. FINANCIAL ADVISOR is the literal occupation field. Nearby titles remain on their own occupation pages. The join does not verify licenses, Series exams, or whether the donor still advises clients. The occupation is not a FINRA representative census, a CFP headcount, or a broker-dealer PAC.

2012 as the cycle side of the Financial Advisor join

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Financial Advisor. $2,705,763 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.

2,742 contributions from 1,386 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,705,763, 2,742, and 1,386 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,705,763. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,705,763. Three numbers define the Financial Advisor × 2012 cell: dollars $2,705,763, contribution rows 2,742, unique donors 1,386. Share of occupation dollars is 9.9% of $27,416,858.

Caveats on FINANCIAL ADVISOR in 2012

Matching Financial Advisor with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Financial Advisor donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a FINRA representative census, a CFP headcount, or a broker-dealer PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCIAL ADVISOR is the literal occupation field. Nearby titles remain on their own occupation pages. The join does not verify licenses, Series exams, or whether the donor still advises clients. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Financial Advisor donations hub is $27,416,858; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Financial Advisor and 2012 pages

Financial Advisor donations holds the $27,416,858 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Financial Advisor. All occupations places FINANCIAL ADVISOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (FINANCIAL PLANNER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, and WEALTH MANAGER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,705,763 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Financial Advisor dollars ($27,416,858). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,705,763, 2,742 contributions, 1,386 donors, 9.9% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Financial Advisor donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep FINANCIAL ADVISOR 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 $2,705,763.

How $2,705,763 sits under $27,416,858

Subtract $2,705,763 from $27,416,858 and the residual is other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 9.9% in 2012 leaves the rest of Financial Advisor dollars outside this page.

Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2012 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $27,416,858 series. Sibling strings (FINANCIAL PLANNER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, and WEALTH MANAGER) remain outside $2,705,763. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,705,763.
