General Manager political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

General Manager receipts isolated to 2012

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation GENERAL MANAGER and the 2012 election cycle. The intersection is $2,390,344 ($2.4 million), 2,675 contributions, and 1,385 donors. 8.9% of General Manager occupation dollars ($26,732,218) 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. GENERAL MANAGER appears in sports, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing. The FEC field does not name the industry. GM as an abbreviation is a different string if typed that way. The join is the spelled-out title plus the cycle.

$26,732,218 is the General Manager all-cycle total

On the occupation side, $26,732,218 is the General Manager total across cycles. Sibling labels (MANAGER, GM, and OPERATIONS MANAGER) stay on other pages. General Manager is not a sports-franchise GM census, a hotel-GM roll, or a company officer list.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $26,732,218. The General Manager donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $2,390,344 is a slice of.

2012 cycle dollars versus the General Manager occupation total

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only General Manager. $2,390,344 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.

2,675 contributions from 1,385 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,390,344, 2,675, and 1,385 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,390,344. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,390,344. Three numbers define the General Manager × 2012 cell: dollars $2,390,344, contribution rows 2,675, unique donors 1,385. Share of occupation dollars is 8.9% of $26,732,218.

Public-record limits for General Manager in 2012

Matching General Manager with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say General Manager donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a sports-franchise GM census, a hotel-GM roll, or a company officer list.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GENERAL MANAGER appears in sports, hospitality, retail, and manufacturing. The FEC field does not name the industry. GM as an abbreviation is a different string if typed that way. The join is the spelled-out title plus the cycle. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the General Manager donations hub is $26,732,218; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked General Manager and 2012 pages

General Manager donations holds the $26,732,218 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only General Manager. All occupations places GENERAL MANAGER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (MANAGER, GM, and OPERATIONS MANAGER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,390,344 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle General Manager dollars ($26,732,218). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,390,344, 2,675 contributions, 1,385 donors, 8.9% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: General Manager donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep GENERAL MANAGER 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 $2,390,344.

General Manager 2012 versus other LobbyVault cuts

Occupation-by-state joins for General Manager are different pages and different dollars. This tie is occupation-by-cycle. $2,390,344 is not a state total and not a committee total.

All FEC ties is the inventory for those other pairs. All occupations is the inventory for titles. Neither page should be summed into $2,390,344. Sibling strings (MANAGER, GM, and OPERATIONS MANAGER) remain outside $2,390,344. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,390,344.
