Parent hubs: Insurance Broker donations and the 2012 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps the broker title as its own occupation-year cell.

The occupation hub for Insurance Broker lists $16.6 million ($16,637,368) under the exact string INSURANCE BROKER. 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.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Insurance Broker in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.6 million. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.

Broker as a distinct two-word key

$16.6 million ($16,637,368) belongs to INSURANCE BROKER. Wholesale versus retail brokerage is not a FEC field. People who wrote agent instead of broker are on the agent page.

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 $1,643,101.

1,798 broker receipts in 2012

921 donors and 1,798 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $914; mean per donor about $1,784. A 921-donor presidential-year file is a mid-size cell. No median.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,798 is a line count, not 921 one-time gifts. Party and product line (life versus property) are not in this packet.

1,798 is a receipt count. 921 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 $1.6 million.

Searchers comparing Insurance Broker with another occupation must open that other occupation’s cycle cell rather than rescale 9.9%. Share of INSURANCE BROKER is not share of all 2012 receipts. The 2012 election cycle hub is the page that holds the cycle’s occupation mix; this ties page holds one row of it.

No ranking of carriers, no party split, no claim about insurance legislation. 1,798 receipts and 921 donors are the volume facts.

FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode INSURANCE BROKER 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.
