How much did Barrington, IL donors give in 2012?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city BARRINGTON and cycle 2012 total $574,323 across 77 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Barrington, IL book of $23.2 million. Unitemized gifts and Illinois state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $574,323 all of Barrington’s federal political money?

No. $23.2 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city BARRINGTON in IL. The 2012 slice is $574,323, 2.5% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Barrington, IL hub. 77 is a 2012 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2012 Barrington total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed BARRINGTON with state IL. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Barrington can sit in $574,323 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Barrington, IL 2012 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $574,323 and 77 lines for BARRINGTON in cycle 2012, and $23.2 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

Barrington, IL political money in the 2012 election cycle

How Barrington meets the 2012 election cycle

$574,323 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city BARRINGTON with state IL, and election cycle 2012. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Barrington, IL city hub and the 2012 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Barrington, IL in 2012.

77 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored BARRINGTON is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $7,459 ($574,323 ÷ 77). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2012 is a presidential election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $574,323. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $574,323 for the 2012 slice and $23.2 million for the Barrington, IL book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Barrington, IL side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city BARRINGTON in Illinois totals $23.2 million. $574,323 is 2.5% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2012 was quiet in Barrington; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Barrington, IL table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in Lake and Cook County, Illinois. Palatine and Inverness are neighboring strings, not this total. State IL stays on the citation so Barrington is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $23.2 million is the IL key only.

The 2012 cycle side for Illinois filers in Barrington

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2012 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 77 Barrington, IL lines in that window produced $574,323. National 2012 activity — every city — lives on the 2012 election cycle hub, not here.

Illinois campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Barrington. Do not add $574,323 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $574,323 into spending by Barrington candidates.

What $574,323 does not measure

$574,323 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city BARRINGTON. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Illinois file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Barrington can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed BARRINGTON is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Barrington. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 77 as lines that stored this string in 2012.

Reading Barrington and 2012 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $574,323 beside $23.2 million does not mean 2012 “caused” the city book or that Barrington “drove” the 2012 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Barrington, IL hub or the live 2012 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Barrington, IL, the 2012 election cycle, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $574,323 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
