Freelance political money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Freelance as stored title, 2012 as the cycle

The parent grouping indexes $5,174,808 ($5.17 million rounded). 2012’s $246,160 is 4.8% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $246,160. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts. The leftover $4,928,648 sits in other harvested years under the same Freelance key.

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Freelance and even-year election cycle 2012. $246,160 is the intersection. $5,174,808 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 290 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 117 (117 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

117 donors on 290 itemized receipts

In 2012, receipts tagged FREELANCE sum to $246,160 on 290 itemized lines from 117 harvested donors. About $849 per receipt is $246,160 divided by 290. About $2,104 per harvested donor is $246,160 divided by 117. Lines per donor average about 2.5. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

The Freelance grouping beyond 2012

290 lines from 117 donors is a mid-scale self-applied-title cell, not a one-person stack. Freelance is a status word. FEC.gov does not confirm 1099 status or match gig-platform payrolls.

Employer strings are filer-entered. Freelance captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. SELF EMPLOYED, WRITER, and CONSULTANT can sit on other occupation-as-industry keys. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with Freelance are a different schedule and are not inside $246,160 or $5,174,808.

4.8% is $246,160 divided by $5,174,808. Rounding to $246,160 and $5.17 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

A freelance label is not an SBA award ledger

This join is not a claim that Freelance bought an election in 2012. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 117 donor keys in the 2012 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

Comparing Freelance in 2012 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2012 is a different page — the 2012 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Freelance × 2012

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Freelance, election cycle 2012, $246,160 on 290 itemized individual contributions from 117 harvested donors, which is 4.8% of the grouping’s harvested $5,174,808 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Then point to the Freelance 2012 overlay, the Freelance industry page, the 2012 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $849 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 117 harvested donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees. Keep FREELANCE labeled as stored text.

Keep the unit explicit. Freelance is an employer/industry string. 2012 is an FEC two-year cycle. $246,160 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 117 harvested donors. 290 is the line count. $5,174,808 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.

Reading the hubs without mixing dollars

The Freelance 2012 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Freelance industry page is the parent grouping at $5,174,808. The 2012 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $246,160. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $246,160 into USAspending obligations.

A later bulk file can restate $246,160 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2012 as an FEC even-year cycle, Freelance as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 117 harvested donors as a harvested donor count on 290 lines. That is the whole join: Freelance × 2012 = $246,160.
