Senior Advisor donations in the 2012 FEC cycle
In the 2012 presidential window, the occupation string SENIOR ADVISOR accounts for $243,322 in itemized individual receipts (197 lines, 102 donors). That overlap is 3.6% of $6,709,535 stored for Senior Advisor across harvested cycles. Cite FEC.gov. The join explains the relationship between occupation and cycle; it does not restack either parent hub’s full table.
Key figures
- 2012 presidential cell: $243,322 tagged Senior Advisor.
- 3.6% of $6,709,535 under SENIOR ADVISOR.
- 197 receipts / 102 donors; no median published.
- Self-reported occupation; filer-entered labels.
- USAspending is a different dataset.
2012 receipts tagged Senior Advisor
Two filters produce $243,322: occupation equals SENIOR ADVISOR, and cycle equals 2012. Drop either filter and the number is no longer this cell. The occupation hub still holds $6,709,535. The 2012 hub still holds every other occupation. Only this path keeps both filters on.
Internal paths stay on the packet list: the Senior Advisor occupation page, the 2012 cycle page, the occupations index, and the ties index. Those four hrefs are the only internal links this overlay uses. No committee pages are in the packet.
102 donor keys are identities in the harvest, not published names. 197 is a line count. Repeat gifts raise the line count without raising the unique-donor count. This page does not list those identities.
The occupation string SENIOR ADVISOR
Senior Advisor as a self-reported occupation is filer-entered on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not verify payroll. Senior as a prefix creates a separate FEC occupation key from Advisor. Do not add the shorter label’s dollars into this 2012 cell. Cite SENIOR ADVISOR as typed. The 3.6% ratio is $243,322 divided by $6,709,535.
This join does not recode SENIOR ADVISOR into a White House staff list, a campaign-org chart, or a consulting-partner census. SENIOR ADVISOR is the typed title. The shorter Advisor string is a different occupation key. Employer is unpublished. Quote the occupation total and the cycle cell as two different numbers.
102 Senior Advisor donor keys in 2012
Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for Senior Advisor. This packet does not publish names. A mean of $1,235 per itemized line and $2,386 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median.
A small or large mean is not a ranking of Senior Advisor against other occupations. This packet has no other occupation’s 2012 total. Quote 197 and 102 with $243,322.
The two-year 2012 window
FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2012 covers that even-year presidential window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $243,322. This packet does not split those years.
The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards. FEC individual receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets even when geography overlaps.
Senior Advisor labels and neighboring strings
Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods without this occupation string, and bundled contributions that never carried SENIOR ADVISOR are outside $243,322. Independent expenditures are outside $243,322. Quote the cell as itemized individual receipts only.
Employer text is a different FEC field from occupation. This overlay does not group by employer. A workplace name in a searcher’s head is not a packet fact.
Limits of the Senior Advisor × 2012 overlay
Use every listed hub: Senior Advisor donations, the 2012 election cycle, all occupations, and all FEC ties. Those pages hold the neighboring cuts. This overlay holds the intersection $243,322.
The two tables that meet are Senior Advisor donations ($6,709,535 for the string) and the 2012 election cycle. The overlap is $243,322. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle cells.
The occupation string SENIOR ADVISOR is copied from the FEC occupation field without a Bureau of Labor Statistics recode. Senior Advisor in 2012 remains $243,322 on 197 itemized lines from 102 donor keys. Neighboring English is a different row.
Readers who need committee names should leave this overlay and open the Senior Advisor occupation hub or the 2012 election-cycle hub. Those hubs are linked. This file does not invent committee names, donor names, or award recipients. $243,322 is an individual-contribution sum.
Itemization thresholds mean small gifts can exist outside $243,322. The packet does not estimate that omitted tail. Independent expenditures are a different FEC form class and are omitted from the Senior Advisor × 2012 cell. Unitemized receipts are omitted.
The remainder $6,466,213 belongs to other harvested cycles under the same occupation string. This page does not name those other years because they are not packet fields. Quote 2012 only for $243,322.
Self-reported occupation is not verified employment. A filer can type SENIOR ADVISOR while holding a different payroll title. The harvest groups on the typed string. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates remain the source.
Questions
- Does $243,322 cover every 2012 gift from this field?
- No. It covers itemized individual receipts whose occupation field matched SENIOR ADVISOR in cycle 2012. Blank occupation, nearby spellings, and unitemized gifts are outside the cell. Advisor, Senior Adviser, and Special Advisor are other keys. The matched sum is $243,322 from 197 receipts and 102 donors.
- What share of Senior Advisor money is the 2012 cycle?
- 3.6%: $243,322 divided by the occupation total $6,709,535. Other cycles hold $6,466,213 (96.4%). That share is not a share of all FEC 2012 receipts. The cycle hub has no national total in this packet.
- Is 2012 a calendar year of Senior Advisor giving?
- It is the FEC two-year presidential cycle tagged 2012, not January-only filings. Odd-year receipts inside that window can sit in $243,322 if they carried SENIOR ADVISOR. This file does not split those years. Counts: 197 contributions, 102 donors.
- Where should a reader go after this Senior Advisor overlay?
- The Senior Advisor occupation page for other cycles, the 2012 election cycle page for other occupations, all occupations for neighboring strings, and all FEC ties for other joins. This page stays on SENIOR ADVISOR × 2012 = $243,322.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
