INNOVATIVE MARKET SYSTEMS in 2012: $13.7 million from one donor

2012 as a thin slice of a very large employer grouping

One donor produced 89 itemized receipts totaling $13.7 million in 2012. Line count is higher than the 2014 sibling’s 60 lines even though 2012 dollars are lower — a reminder that contribution count and dollars are independent fields. This packet does not publish a mean. The Innovative Market Systems 2012 overlay is the row-level table.

One percent of $1,364,633,080 is still $13.7 million. The parent book is large enough that a “small share” remains a large itemized total. Do not treat 1.0% as trivial, and do not treat $13.7 million as the $1.36 billion parent.

The employer string is form text. It is not a market-share statistic and not a headcount.

Keep 2012 and 2014 on separate clocks

FEC cycle 2012 and cycle 2014 are different two-year windows. Summing this page’s $13,651,473 with the 2014 cycle total would be a reader-built subtotal of two joins, not a field in this packet. The parent industry page already holds the all-cycle $1,364,633,080.

The 2012 election cycle hub shows other 2012 employer strings, including other one-donor concentrations. This page does not rank them.

What 89 lines from one person excludes

Unitemized gifts. Other employer spellings. Committee PAC filings that are not this individual string. State filings. Independent expenditures.

LobbyVault does not infer a trading business, a product, or a motive from the employer words.

One donor and 89 lines totaling $13,651,473 is more lines than the 2014 sibling’s 60 and fewer dollars than that sibling’s $23,244,329. Line count and dollars are independent fields. This page cites only 2012: $13,651,473, 89 contributions, 1 donor.

The Innovative Market Systems 2012 overlay lists disclosed recipients. This prose does not invent a party percentage. The parent $1,364,633,080 remains the all-cycle roll-up.

Eighty-nine lines from one person is repeat itemizing. It is not a payroll and not a once-per-person census. Quote the overlay for disclosed committees.

This join exists so the 2012 cut is not mistaken for the parent and not mistaken for the 2014 cut. Each cycle overlay is its own packet.

Eighty-nine lines from one donor in 2012 versus 60 lines from one donor in 2014 shows that the same employer string can itemize more often in a cycle with fewer dollars. That comparison uses two packets. This page’s fields remain $13,651,473, 89, and 1.

The parent $1,364,633,080 already contains both cycle cuts and every other indexed cycle. Use the Innovative Market Systems industry page for that total. Use the 2012 overlay for names. Use All FEC ties for other joins. Cite FEC.gov.

The 1.0 percent share of $1,364,633,080 is still $13,651,473. Quote the live Innovative Market Systems 2012 overlay if an amendment moves the 89 lines or the single donor count.
