Officer occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Officer as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation OFFICER and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $607,023, 752 contributions, and 284 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Police officer, corporate officer, military officer, and loan officer are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a POST certification file, an SEC officer list, or a service-branch roster. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Officer donations at /occupations/officer/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $607,023 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Officer in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $607,023. Law-enforcement versus corporate versus military sense of the word is unpublished for Officer in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a one-word ambiguous-title cell in a presidential window.

OFFICER as typed, police or corporate unknown

$5.3 million ($5,333,585) belongs to the exact string OFFICER across harvested cycles. It is not a POST certification file, an SEC officer list, or a service-branch roster. People who wrote nearby wording — police officer, corporate officer, military officer, and loan officer — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 11.4% of that title bucket ($607,023 of $5,333,585). Share of OFFICER is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $4,726,562, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $607,023. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,333,585. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Officer donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. 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 $607,023.

284 officer donors and 752 receipts in 2012

284 donors and 752 receipts — about 2.6 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $807; mean per donor about $2,137. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a one-word ambiguous-title cell in a presidential window. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 752 is a line count, not 284 one-time gifts. Law-enforcement versus corporate versus military sense of the word is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by OFFICER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $607,023. A 2008 Officer cell is a different cycle join against the same occupation denominator. Do not add the two years.

Ambiguous one-word title versus PAC tables

Cite $607,023 as Officer in 2012. Cite $5,333,585 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add union and employer PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $607,023 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 11.4%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode OFFICER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Officer money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation OFFICER, election cycle 2012, $607,023 in itemized individual contributions, 752 receipts, and 284 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $807 per line and $2,137 per donor in the cell. If the live Officer donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 752 as unique workers in the trade named by OFFICER.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Officer donations rolls every cycle into one OFFICER running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Officer × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 752 receipts and $607,023. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and the 2008 Officer cell

The occupation hub still holds $4,726,562 outside 2012. Most of the $5,333,585 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. A 2008 Officer cell is a different cycle join against the same occupation denominator. Do not add the two years. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.6. That ratio is 752 divided by 284, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
