OIL PRODUCER and 2012 together

Schedule A lines that grouped to OIL PRODUCER inside cycle 2012 sum to $461,569 in this extract. That is the relationship this URL exists to explain. Oil Producer is not scored here as a winner or loser. Public records, not accusations. OIL PRODUCER is grouped occupation or employer text, not a NAICS oil-extraction code and not a named-operator roster. Eighty unique donors produced 342 itemized receipts in 2012, about 4.3 lines per donor. OIL AND GAS, INDEPENDENT OIL PRODUCER, and company names are other keys unless a receipt grouped here.

Mean gift size about $1,350 across 342 lines is a ratio, not a typical gift proven for every donor. Mean per donor about $5,770 is $461,569 divided by 80 unique IDs, not a household census.

The 2012 election-cycle census

FEC cycle 2012 is the two-year federal clock labeled 2012. Inside that clock, Oil Producer is one employer/occupation grouping among many. The 2012 election cycle hub shows other strings in the same window.

OIL PRODUCER is grouped occupation or employer text, not a NAICS oil-extraction code and not a named-operator roster. Eighty unique donors produced 342 itemized receipts in 2012, about 4.3 lines per donor. OIL AND GAS, INDEPENDENT OIL PRODUCER, and company names are other keys unless a receipt grouped here. The Oil Producer 2012 overlay is the overlay. The Oil Producer industry page is the parent grouping. The 2012 election cycle page is the cycle census. All FEC ties lists other joins.

USAspending is a different file

USAspending rows for the same calendar years are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $461,569 funded federal awards, or that federal awards funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Geography or employer text on a contribution line does not convert the gift into an obligation.

Unitemized gifts and corporate treasury schedules are outside $461,569. LobbyVault does not treat 80 unique donors as a headcount of everyone associated with OIL PRODUCER in 2012. Mean gift size near $1,350 and mean per donor near $5,770 are ratios on this presidential-year cell. They are not a 10-K political-activity line.
