Project Manager donations in the 2012 FEC cycle

Project Manager as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PROJECT MANAGER and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,272,051, 1,839 contributions, and 788 donors. 2012 is a high-row delivery-title cell across many workplaces. The occupation hub rolls every cycle that used this spelling. The 2012 election-cycle hub rolls every occupation that filed that cycle. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Project Manager is a two-word delivery-title as typed. Nearby strings — PROGRAM MANAGER, CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, PRODUCT MANAGER, and MANAGER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $1,272,051 or $17,977,652. A product manager who typed Product Manager is outside PROJECT MANAGER.

2012’s dollar share is 7.1% ($1,272,051 of $17,977,652). The remainder sits in other cycles on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,272,051.

The Project Manager string across cycles

Under the exact label PROJECT MANAGER, harvested individual contributions sum to $18.0 million ($17,977,652). The 2012 cell is 7.1% of that occupation total. The FEC file does not verify a PMP, a PE, or an employer. A share in a presidential cycle is a slice, not proof that the remaining dollars sat in any particular other year. Those other years are not in this packet.

Project Manager is not a PMI membership roll and not a federal-contract COR list. Open Project Manager donations for the $17,977,652 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

2012 receipts and donors

Inside the 2012 cell, 1,839 itemized contributions map to 788 donors. That is about 2.3 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $692; dollars per donor average about $1,614. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

Presidential-year volume can mix primary, general, and other receipts dated to 2012. This packet does not split $1,272,051 by those stages or by party. The 2012 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Project Manager row. 788 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2012, not a turnout figure.

How to read the two dollar columns

Keep $1,272,051 attached to 2012 and $17,977,652 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2012 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award, a research grant, or a USAspending obligation. Quote $1,272,051 with both nouns: Project Manager and 2012.

What the Project Manager–2012 join does not claim

Occupation labels are filer-entered. Project Manager is not a PMI membership roll and not a federal-contract COR list. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $1.3 million. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

No motive, no vote, no ranking of occupations. Not a PMP-holder census, not a construction-GC org chart, and not a software-PM headcount. Use All occupations to compare other labels; use All FEC ties for other joins. 1,839 receipts and 788 donors are the volume facts for this join.

Questions

How much did project managers donate in 2012?

Filers who wrote Project Manager on FEC individual contribution records itemized $1,272,051 in the 2012 cycle, across 1,839 receipts from 788 donors. That cell is 7.1% of $17,977,652 harvested under the same exact occupation string. Nearby spellings are counted on other occupation pages.

Does Project Manager mean construction or software?

The stored string is PROJECT MANAGER with no industry. Construction Manager, Product Manager, and Program Manager are other keys if filers used those words. This join does not split building-site and software-org uses or check a PMP credential.

What is an occupation-cycle join on LobbyVault?

It is the overlap of one self-reported occupation key and one even-numbered FEC cycle. The occupation hub holds $18.0 million for this string across cycles. The cycle hub holds every occupation that filed in 2012. This page reports only the overlapping cell, $1.3 million, so the two dimensions are not restated as one table.

Does the 2012 Project Manager total include PACs or party committees?

$1,272,051 is an aggregate of individual contributions whose occupation field matches this string. It is not PAC independent spending, not committee-to-committee transfers, and not a party split. This packet has no party field. Open the Project Manager donations hub or the 2012 election cycle hub for committee-level rows.
