Insurance Agent receipts isolated to 2012
Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation INSURANCE AGENT and the 2012 election cycle. The intersection is $2,033,314 ($2.0 million), 3,258 contributions, and 1,601 donors. 8.0% of Insurance Agent occupation dollars ($25,280,335) 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. INSURANCE AGENT is the two-word title. INSURANCE as a one-word occupation and INSURANCE BROKER are other keys. The join does not verify producer licenses or captive versus independent status. Carrier PACs stay in committee totals.
$25,280,335 is the Insurance Agent all-cycle total
On the occupation side, $25,280,335 is the Insurance Agent total across cycles. Sibling labels (INSURANCE, AGENT, and INSURANCE BROKER) stay on other pages. Insurance Agent is not a carrier captive-agent census, a state insurance-license file, or an insurer PAC.
All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $25,280,335. The Insurance Agent donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $2,033,314 is a slice of.
2012 cycle dollars versus the Insurance Agent occupation total
The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Insurance Agent. $2,033,314 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.
3,258 contributions from 1,601 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,033,314, 3,258, and 1,601 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,033,314. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,033,314. Three numbers define the Insurance Agent × 2012 cell: dollars $2,033,314, contribution rows 3,258, unique donors 1,601. Share of occupation dollars is 8.0% of $25,280,335.
Public-record limits for Insurance Agent in 2012
Matching Insurance Agent with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Insurance Agent donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a carrier captive-agent census, a state insurance-license file, or an insurer PAC.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INSURANCE AGENT is the two-word title. INSURANCE as a one-word occupation and INSURANCE BROKER are other keys. The join does not verify producer licenses or captive versus independent status. Carrier PACs stay in committee totals. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Insurance Agent donations hub is $25,280,335; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.
Linked Insurance Agent and 2012 pages
Insurance Agent donations holds the $25,280,335 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Insurance Agent. All occupations places INSURANCE AGENT beside other titles without merging sibling strings (INSURANCE, AGENT, and INSURANCE BROKER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,033,314 is not added to a different year.
Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Insurance Agent dollars ($25,280,335). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,033,314, 3,258 contributions, 1,601 donors, 8.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Insurance Agent donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep INSURANCE AGENT 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 $2,033,314.
Insurance Agent 2012 versus other LobbyVault cuts
Occupation-by-state joins for Insurance Agent are different pages and different dollars. This tie is occupation-by-cycle. $2,033,314 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 $2,033,314. Sibling strings (INSURANCE, AGENT, and INSURANCE BROKER) remain outside $2,033,314. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,033,314.
