How much did Lehman Bros donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $581,266 in itemized individual contributions for the Lehman Bros grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 60 contributions and 19 donors. That sum is not a PAC total, not an independent-expenditure total, and not the $5,527,644 all-cycle figure on the industry hub. Unitemized gifts sit outside this cell.

What share of Lehman Bros FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,527,644. The 2012 cell of $581,266 is about 10.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Lehman Bros hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only current Lehman Bros employees or licensees?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Lehman Bros. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Neighboring spellings and titles sit in other groupings unless they were stored as this exact key. This join reports the string match for 2012 only, totaling $581,266 from 19 donors on 60 contribution lines.

Lehman Bros and the 2012 FEC election cycle

$581,266 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer/occupation grouping Lehman Bros. FEC.gov aggregates count 60 contributions from 19 donors. The same string totals $5,527,644 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 10.5% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported label meeting a two-year window, not the full Brothers spelling and not the firm’s PAC.

Lehman Bros as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Lehman Bros and 2012 — sum to $581,266. 60 itemized contributions and 19 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. 2012 is a presidential even-year window; that fact describes the FEC calendar, not which contests received the money.

Neither the Lehman Bros hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Lehman Bros is stored form text, not a verified employer file. 19 donors and 60 lines in 2012 matched that word. Filers who used the longer Brothers spelling instead of Bros sit in other buckets. LEHMAN BROTHERS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, and LEHMAN are other keys. This page is the exact grouped string Lehman Bros as stored.

10.5% of the Lehman Bros roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,527,644. The 2012 slice of $581,266 is about 10.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.5%. Treating 2012 as the Lehman Bros FEC story would ignore that remainder. The share is a scale check, not a peak-year ranking and not proof of a coordinated program.

Treat $5,527,644 as the denominator for the 10.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, not assets under management, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,527,644. Federal awards in other databases remain a different dataset; sharing a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants.

60 contributions from 19 donors

Dividing $581,266 by 60 contributions yields about $9,688 per itemized gift. Dividing by 19 donors yields about $30,593 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim. Bros is a stored abbreviation; LobbyVault does not merge it with Brothers.

19 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Lehman Bros 2012 holds the rows. Recipients can include candidate committees, party committees, leadership PACs, and Super PACs; this join does not split those buckets in the headline facts.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Lehman Bros is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Lehman Bros to drop the year. Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $581,266 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday.

That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 60 contributions, the 19 unique donors, and the 10.5% share of $5,527,644. Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 19 donors, and 60 contributions.

Titles the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $581,266. LEHMAN BROTHERS, LEHMAN BROTHERS INC, and LEHMAN are other keys. Filers who used the longer Brothers spelling instead of Bros are counted elsewhere unless the treasurer grouped them to this exact string. Bros is a stored abbreviation; LobbyVault does not merge it with Brothers. The page is not the full Brothers spelling and not the firm’s PAC.

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. Lehman Bros is the spelling as committees stored it. Researchers who want a combined family of neighboring labels must recode after export. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not attach a motive, a client matter, or a federal award to the $581,266 cell.

Citing Lehman Bros and 2012 together

Start with $581,266, then Lehman Bros 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Lehman Bros, 2012, $581,266, 60 contributions, 19 donors, 10.5% of $5,527,644, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 10.5% share, the 19-donor count, and the $9,688 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control. The join exists because two tables meet; it is not a restatement of one hub.
