Managing Partner political contributions in the 2012 FEC cycle

The Managing Partner × 2012 intersection

Managing Partner in 2012 is $2,600,895 on 1,280 itemized lines from 643 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2012 holds 12.2% of all-cycle Managing Partner dollars ($2,600,895 of $21,284,180). That is a material cycle share, still a minority of the occupation total. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

1,280 contributions from 643 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 643 people still used that title after 2012.

This page is not a restatement of the Managing Partner hub or of the 2012 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $2,600,895.

The Managing Partner occupation hub behind $21,284,180

Filers who typed managing partner produced the all-cycle occupation total of $21,284,180. MANAGING PARTNER is used in law, accounting, and investment firms. The FEC field does not name the industry. PARTNER and MANAGING DIRECTOR stay on other occupation pages. The join is the typed title plus the cycle, nothing else. The occupation is not a law-firm partnership census, a PE general-partner count, or a firm PAC.

2012 as the cycle side of the Managing Partner join

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Managing Partner. $2,600,895 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.

1,280 contributions from 643 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. The page does not publish an average gift. $2,600,895, 1,280, and 643 are the three cycle-side facts. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,600,895. Committee disbursements and independent expenditures are a different FEC schedule and are not a second way to count $2,600,895. Three numbers define the Managing Partner × 2012 cell: dollars $2,600,895, contribution rows 1,280, unique donors 643. Share of occupation dollars is 12.2% of $21,284,180.

Caveats on MANAGING PARTNER in 2012

Matching Managing Partner with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Managing Partner donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a law-firm partnership census, a PE general-partner count, or a firm PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. MANAGING PARTNER is used in law, accounting, and investment firms. The FEC field does not name the industry. PARTNER and MANAGING DIRECTOR stay on other occupation pages. The join is the typed title plus the cycle, nothing else. This join does not publish a party split, a recipient-committee list, or employer text. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Managing Partner donations hub is $21,284,180; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Managing Partner and 2012 pages

Managing Partner donations holds the $21,284,180 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Managing Partner. All occupations places MANAGING PARTNER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, and GENERAL PARTNER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,600,895 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Managing Partner dollars ($21,284,180). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,600,895, 1,280 contributions, 643 donors, 12.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use: Managing Partner donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Keep MANAGING PARTNER 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 $2,600,895.

How $2,600,895 sits under $21,284,180

Subtract $2,600,895 from $21,284,180 and the residual is other even-year cycles for the same occupation string, not a different title. 12.2% in 2012 leaves the rest of Managing Partner dollars outside this page.

Do not treat the residual as a named year. This packet only publishes 2012 as the cycle dimension. The occupation hub is the place for the full $21,284,180 series. Sibling strings (PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, and GENERAL PARTNER) remain outside $2,600,895. Independent expenditures remain outside $2,600,895.
