First Boston Corp and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Legacy employer spelling × 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — First Boston Corp and 2012 — sum to $633,456. 371 itemized contributions and 79 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the First Boston Corp hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. First Boston Corp as a 2012 employer string is legacy bank text. Seventy-nine donors and 371 lines are people who still typed that name on receipts in the 2012 cycle. Credit Suisse is a related brand with its own 2012 cell. This join does not merge the two. The FEC field is not a 1980s headcount. CREDIT SUISSE, CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, CSFB, and generic BANKER or INVESTMENT BANKER strings are other keys.

7.5% of the First Boston Corp roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,479,481 ($8.5 million). The 2012 slice of $633,456 is about 7.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 92.5%. Treating 2012 as the First Boston Corp FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,479,481 as the denominator for the 7.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $8,479,481.

371 contributions from 79 donors

Dividing $633,456 by 371 contributions yields about $1,707 per itemized gift. Dividing by 79 donors yields about $8,018 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 4.7. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

79 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for First Boston Corp 2012 holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. First Boston Corp is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and First Boston Corp to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $633,456 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 371 contributions, the 79 unique donors, and the 7.5% share of $8,479,481.

Why successor labels stay off this page

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $633,456. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a securities NAICS total and not a successor-bank PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 79 donors, and 371 contributions. CREDIT SUISSE, CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON, CSFB, and generic BANKER or INVESTMENT BANKER strings are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing First Boston Corp and 2012 together

Start with $633,456, then First Boston Corp 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: First Boston Corp, 2012, $633,456, 371 contributions, 79 donors, 7.5% of $8,479,481, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 7.5% share, the 79-donor count, and the $1,707 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.

Questions

How much did First Boston Corp donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $633,456 in itemized individual contributions for the First Boston Corp grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 371 contributions and 79 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,479,481 all-cycle figure.

What share of First Boston Corp FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,479,481. The 2012 cell of $633,456 is about 7.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 92.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the First Boston Corp hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Should successor or longer spellings be added to this 2012 total?

No. This page is the stored string First Boston Corp only. Successor labels and longer legal names are different groupings with their own cycle cells. Combining them would invent a total neither packet publishes as a join. The 2012 cell here is $633,456.

Where is the overlay for the First Boston Corp 2012 join?

Open First Boston Corp 2012 for the cycle overlay, First Boston Corp for the grouping hub, and the 2012 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
