Insurance × 2012

Occupation INSURANCE and cycle 2012 overlap at $1,823,249. Insurance agent, insurance broker, and underwriter are other keys — including separate agent and broker joins in this portfolio. This page does not add those keys together.

Parent hubs: Insurance donations and the 2012 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the one-word Insurance cell distinct from longer insurance titles.

The occupation hub for Insurance lists $16.0 million ($16,006,547) under the exact string INSURANCE. The 2012 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2012, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Insurance in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.8 million. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

Industry word, occupation field

$16.0 million ($16,006,547) is what filers typed as INSURANCE, not a NAICS 524 rollup. Carriers, agencies, and adjusters can share the same one-word occupation. Employer would separate them; employer is not in this packet.

The 2012 slice is 11.4% of the one-word bucket. It is not the insurance industry’s share of 2012 giving.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,823,249. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $16,006,547. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Insurance donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.

Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,823,249. If a later harvest revises 1,877 or 906, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($16,006,547) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.

2012 volume for the one-word key

906 donors and 1,877 receipts — about 2.1 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $971; mean per donor about $2,012. Nine hundred six donors is a mid-size cell. No median is provided.

Presidential-year receipts are not split by property-casualty versus life. The occupation string does not encode product line. $1.8 million is the one-word total in 2012.

1,877 is a receipt count. 906 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.8 million.

Do not merge agent and broker here

Cite $1,823,249 as Insurance in 2012, the one-word key. Insurance Agent and Insurance Broker are other occupation pages when those titles were typed. Adding them to $1,823,249 would mix keys.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists the neighboring insurance titles.

Dividing $1,823,249 by 1,877 receipts yields about $971 per line. Dividing by 906 donors yields about $2,012 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.

Not a premium or NAICS total

Insurance on a form is not written premium, not a trade-association PAC, and not a state insurance department filing. It is an occupation string. Filers who wrote agent or broker instead are outside $1.8 million.

No party split, no ranking of carriers. 1,877 receipts and 906 donors are the volume facts for this join.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode INSURANCE into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
