Pfizer Inc political money — 2012 cycle

Why Pfizer Inc and 2012 share one page

This page exists because two indexes meet. One index is the employer string Pfizer Inc. The other is the 2012 two-year FEC window. Only rows that carry both keys enter $520,773. The Pfizer Inc hub without a year filter is $6,607,989. The 2012 cycle hub without this employer filter is a different table and is not a denominator in this packet. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection.

1,780 itemized lines from 160 donors is a high-volume 2012 cell. Line volume is not an employee census. 1,780 lines and 160 identities produced the cell. Repeat gifts explain why the line count can exceed the donor count. The overlay Pfizer Inc 2012 holds the itemized rows. This JSON file names the join; it is not a second filing system.

Do not restate the Pfizer Inc hub as if it were 2012-only, and do not restate the 2012 cycle hub as if it were Pfizer Inc-only. Two filters, one cell: $520,773 from FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

The Pfizer Inc string without the year filter

$6,607,989 is every cycle for the stored string PFIZER INC. Subtract $520,773 and $6,087,216 remains in other even-year windows (92.1%). That remainder is visible on the Pfizer Inc hub. It is not published as a cycle-by-cycle list in this packet, so other years are not quoted here as dollar amounts.

PFIZER, PFIZER INCORPORATED, and named Pfizer affiliates are neighboring spellings. They are not aliases of PFIZER INC. Adding them would invent a sector total the packet does not contain. Pfizer Inc is employer string, not a Pfizer PAC, a corporate treasury gift, or a pharmaceutical NAICS total.

Receipts, donors, and means inside 2012

1,780 contributions divided into $520,773 is about $293 per receipt. 160 donors divided into the same total is about $3,255 per identity. Lines per donor average about 11.1. Those quotients are packet arithmetic. They are not typical pay, not typical gift size in a legal sense, and not a party split.

A donor identity is a contributor record in the extract, not a named person on this page and not a headcount of everyone who worked under that label. Household members and retirees can reuse a workplace or title. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $520,773.

What the 2012 window contains

2012 is a presidential cycle tag on FEC.gov. Money dated in either year of that two-year window can sit in $520,773. The packet does not split odd-year versus even-year dollars and does not name committees. Open 2012 election cycle to drop the Pfizer Inc filter. Open Pfizer Inc to drop the year.

No cycle-wide total is in this packet, so Pfizer Inc is not ranked as a share of all 2012 giving. Ranking would require a denominator this file does not have. Keep both nouns — Pfizer Inc and 2012 — when quoting $520,773.

Limits of the join

Itemized individual contributions are the universe. PAC spending, independent expenditures, and state-office filings are outside $520,773. USAspending obligations are a different statute and a different form. Do not read $520,773 as federal awards tied to Pfizer Inc. The page is not a Pfizer PAC, a corporate treasury gift, or a pharmaceutical NAICS total.

A text match is not motive. 160 donors and 1,780 contributions show volume in the extract, not that Pfizer Inc steered the 2012 cycle. If a later FEC extract revises $520,773, 1,780 receipts, or 160 donors, the newer extract controls.

How to quote Pfizer Inc × 2012

Citation template: employer/industry grouping PFIZER INC, election cycle 2012, $520,773 on 1,780 itemized individual contributions from 160 donors, 7.9% of the all-cycle $6,607,989. Source: FEC.gov. Then point to Pfizer Inc 2012, Pfizer Inc, 2012 election cycle, and All FEC ties.

Do not add $520,773 to $6,607,989; the cycle cell is already inside the lifetime bucket. Do not fold PFIZER, PFIZER INCORPORATED, and named Pfizer affiliates into either figure. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Questions

How much FEC money is tagged Pfizer Inc in 2012?

This extract records $520,773 on 1,780 itemized individual receipts from 160 donors where the stored grouping is PFIZER INC and the cycle is 2012. That is not the $6,607,989 all-cycle book and not a PAC total. Source: FEC.gov.

Is Pfizer Inc the same as PFIZER?

No. Only the exact stored string PFIZER INC is inside $520,773. PFIZER, PFIZER INCORPORATED, and named Pfizer affiliates are other keys on this site. 160 donors and 1,780 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not recode the employer field into a sector total.

What share of Pfizer Inc dollars landed in 2012?

$520,773 is about 7.9% of the all-cycle grouping $6,607,989. Other even-year windows hold $6,087,216 (92.1%) on the Pfizer Inc hub. Quote both totals together. Do not recast 7.9% as a ranking of employers in 2012.

Does Pfizer Inc giving in 2012 pay for USAspending awards?

No. FEC Schedule A individual contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets under different statutes. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Sharing a workplace string and a calendar year does not convert $520,773 into a federal contract or grant. Cite FEC.gov. PFIZER INC in 2012 is $520,773 on 1,780 itemized receipts from 160 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $6,607,989.
