Jones Day political money β€” 2012 cycle

391 itemized individual contributions from 175 donors sum to $507,227 for Jones Day in the 2012 cycle on FEC.gov. That cell is the join of the employer string JONES DAY and the two-year 2012 window. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,003,638 (12.7% in this window). The page explains the relationship between those two dimensions; it is not a law-firm PAC, a partnership census, or a legal-services NAICS total.

Two keys: JONES DAY and 2012

Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2012 and the Jones Day hub shows $4,003,638. Drop Jones Day and the 2012 hub shows every other stored employer for that window β€” a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $507,227 on 391 lines from 175 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.

JONES DAY is the stored short employer. Longer historical firm strings are other keys. Exact string matching is the method. JONES DAY LLP, JONES, DAY, REAVIS AND POGUE, and JONES DAY REAVIS are not rolled into $507,227. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.

Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay Jones Day 2012 is the row view of this cell.

Lifetime Jones Day dollars versus the 2012 slice

$4,003,638 minus $507,227 leaves $3,496,411 in other cycles, or 87.3% of the stored book. 12.7% is the 2012 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.

$4,003,638 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to JONES DAY in this table. The Jones Day hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2012 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.

Volume inside the Jones Day 2012 cell

About $1,297 per contribution and about $2,898 per donor follow from dividing $507,227 by 391 and by 175. Lines per donor average about 2.2. High line counts relative to identities usually mean repeat gifts; low line counts can mean fewer repeats. Those readings are still arithmetic, not a donor strategy. They are not medians and not a party split.

This page does not name donors. 175 is a count. Retirees and relatives can share a stored workplace. Unitemized gifts are absent. PAC disbursements are a different FEC table and are not inside $507,227.

2012 is a two-year FEC tag

On FEC.gov, 2012 is a presidential cycle covering two calendar years. Searchers who want a single November figure will not find that split here. Both years of the window can feed $507,227. Dates live on the overlay, not in this snapshot. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number.

Caveats that travel with the dollars

The page is not a law-firm PAC, a partnership census, or a legal-services NAICS total. Sharing Jones Day and 2012 does not create a federal award. USAspending is a different dataset. Do not add $507,227 to obligation totals. Do not treat $507,227 as proof of influence. A join is two fields. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements remain outside this cell.

If FEC.gov or the live hubs later show a different $507,227, 391, or 175, the newer extract wins. Neighboring strings β€” JONES DAY LLP, JONES, DAY, REAVIS AND POGUE, and JONES DAY REAVIS β€” remain other pages. This file stays on one employer/industry grouping and one cycle.
