General Counsel occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

General Counsel as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string GENERAL COUNSEL. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $871,867, built from 748 contributions and 356 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes.

Average contribution is about $1,166; average per donor is about $2,449. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 2.1 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys. This page is the exact string GENERAL COUNSEL in 2012.

GENERAL COUNSEL is a self-reported title

GENERAL COUNSEL on an FEC line is not a discipline code or a license number. A legal-office occupation string, not a bar-license census. Students, hobbyists, and household-occupation users can sit among the donor IDs.

$16,811,333 is every cycle combined for GENERAL COUNSEL. $871,867 in 2012 is about 5.2% of that stack. Other windows hold about 94.8% ($15,939,466). ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL are other occupation pages if stored separately. The 5.2% ratio is $871,867 divided by $16,811,333. Other even-year joins for GENERAL COUNSEL are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $15,939,466. Citing 2012 as if it were the General Counsel lifetime total would overstate this cell by $15,939,466.

748 contributions from 356 donors

Dividing $871,867 by 748 contributions yields about $1,166 per itemized gift. Dividing by 356 donors yields about $2,449 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.1. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

356 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. A mean of $1,166 per itemized line and $2,449 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 748 contributions remaining larger than 356 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

5.2% of the General Counsel roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $16,811,333. The 2012 slice of $871,867 is about 5.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.8% ($15,939,466). Treating 2012 as the entire General Counsel FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $16,811,333 as the denominator for the 5.2% share. It is not earnings and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $16,811,333. Neighboring titles ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL are not added into either figure. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $871,867 if they were itemized against GENERAL COUNSEL. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored occupation for that window. General Counsel 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 occupation filter and General Counsel to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $871,867 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2012 is a presidential-year window in the FEC calendar. This packet does not split those years. General Counsel as a legal-office occupation string, not a bar-license census can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $871,867. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

Citing General Counsel and 2012 together

Start with $871,867, then General Counsel and 2012, then the occupation hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: GENERAL COUNSEL, 2012, $871,867, 748 contributions, 356 donors, 5.2% of $16,811,333, source FEC.gov.

The 5.2% share, the 356-donor count, and the $1,166 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a sibling title and they stop being facts from this packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Quote both keys: General Counsel and 2012. Quote the dollars: $871,867. Quote the volume: 748 contributions, 356 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them.
