How much FEC money is in the President 2012 occupation join?

The President grouping’s 2012 cell is $1,785,542 in itemized individual contributions, from 1,060 contributions and 310 donors, based on FEC.gov aggregates. That is an occupation-cycle join, not money from the Office of the President and not the $21,289,165 all-cycle total.

Does President here mean U.S. president?

No. It is the self-reported occupation/employer string President, typically a job title at a private organization. The 2012 cycle happens to include a presidential election, but the occupation field is still text on individual receipts. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

What share of the grouping’s total fell in 2012?

About 8.4%. $1,785,542 divided by $21,289,165 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold the rest on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Do these donations fund federal programs?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

President (occupation) and the 2012 FEC cycle

$1,785,542 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle cell for the occupation grouping President. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,060 contributions from 310 donors. The same string totals $21,289,165 across every cycle in this table, so 2012 holds about 8.4% of the lifetime bucket. The word on the form is a job title, not the office of President of the United States.

Key figures

$1,785,542 joins the President occupation grouping to the 2012 FEC cycle.
1,060 contributions from 310 donors spread the cell.
2012 is about 8.4% of the grouping’s $21,289,165 lifetime total.
President here is a job-title string, not the U.S. presidency or a spending award.

A job-title string joined to a presidential year

President on an FEC occupation line usually means president of a company, association, or local organization. It is not a roster of candidates for president and not a roster of White House occupants. This page still has a precise numeric job: the join of that grouped string with the 2012 federal cycle, which is $1,785,542.

1,060 contributions from 310 donors spread the cell. Average gift size is about $1,684; average per donor is about $5,760. Those means look like many ordinary itemized receipts, not a handful of seven-figure gifts.

The coincidence that 2012 was a presidential election year does not convert the occupation word into a statement about that contest. The cycle tag is a date window. The occupation tag is a text field.

Share of the President grouping’s lifetime total

$21,289,165 is every cycle combined. $1,785,542 in 2012 is about 8.4% of that stack. Other windows hold a little more than 91%. A presidential-year cell at 8.4% is a noticeable slice, not a majority of the title’s FEC history.

CEO, owner, and chairman are separate groupings if stored separately. Receipts that used those words do not automatically appear here.

310 donors in the 2012 window

310 unique donors against 1,060 contributions implies some repeat giving. The aggregate does not publish how many of the 310 gave once. It publishes two counts and a dollar sum.

Because the title is common, the 310 people need not share a sector. A bank president and a PTA president can land in the same bucket after grouping.

2012 as the cycle key

The 2012 cycle covers federal activity in 2011–2012, including the presidential contest. This occupation cell is one of many employer and occupation slices of that window. Ranking them by dollars is a table sort, not a finding about who ran the country.

Recipients and parties are outside these four facts. They belong on the overlay.

A job title that collides with a contest name

2012 was a presidential election year, and President is a common job title. Those two facts share a word and do not share a meaning. The $1,785,542 cell is occupation text grouped to President, not money from the Office of the President and not a roster of people who ran for that office.

310 donors and 1,060 gifts spread the cell. Average gift size near $1,684 looks like many ordinary itemized receipts. A bank president and a club president can land in the same bucket after grouping. CEO and owner remain other pages if stored separately.

An 8.4% share of $21,289,165 places 2012 inside a multi-cycle title stack. Other windows hold the rest. Recipients of these gifts — including presidential campaigns — live on the overlay. This relationship record does not name them.

The collision between a job title and a contest name is the whole reason this page has to be explicit. $1,785,542 is occupation text grouped to President in the 2012 cycle, from 1,060 gifts and 310 unique donors. It is not the presidential race’s receipts, which live on candidate and committee pages. An 8.4% share of $21,289,165 is the lifetime comparison for the title string only.

A club president and a company president share this bucket after grouping. CEO and owner do not, unless stored as the same string, which this packet does not claim. Average gift size near $1,684 looks like ordinary itemized receipts. Recipients — including, possibly, presidential committees — are overlay fields, not facts on this relationship record.

What the title-cycle join refuses

The page does not identify which organizations the donors led. It does not treat the dollars as White House money. It does not link FEC gifts to federal awards. Campaign receipts and USAspending obligations remain separate ledgers.
