Skadden Arps political money — 2012 cycle

$515,272 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle join for the employer string Skadden Arps. FEC.gov aggregates count 416 contributions from 188 donors. The same stored string totals $5,342,997 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 9.6% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a law-firm PAC, a partnership census, or a legal-services NAICS total.

Skadden Arps as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — SKADDEN ARPS and 2012 — sum to $515,272. 416 itemized contributions and 188 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not a committee disbursement. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Skadden Arps hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Skadden Arps is employer string, not a verified payroll file. 188 donors and 416 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. SKADDEN ARPS is the shortened stored employer. The full firm string is another key if filers typed it that way. People who typed SKADDEN, SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER AND FLOM, and SKADDEN ARPS LLP sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string SKADDEN ARPS.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Skadden Arps 2012 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2012 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Skadden Arps 2012 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $515,272, 416 contributions, 188 donors, and 9.6% of $5,342,997.

9.6% of the Skadden Arps roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,342,997. The 2012 slice of $515,272 is about 9.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 90.4% ($4,827,725). Treating 2012 as the entire Skadden Arps FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $5,342,997 as the denominator for the 9.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,342,997. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

416 contributions from 188 donors

Dividing $515,272 by 416 contributions yields about $1,239 per itemized gift. Dividing by 188 donors yields about $2,741 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.

188 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. Unitemized gifts never appear in $515,272.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Skadden Arps is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Skadden Arps to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $515,272 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2012 is a presidential federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $515,272. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string SKADDEN ARPS.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $515,272. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a law-firm PAC, a partnership census, or a legal-services NAICS total.

Correlation between a stored employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 188 donors, and 416 contributions. SKADDEN, SKADDEN ARPS SLATE MEAGHER AND FLOM, and SKADDEN ARPS LLP are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. If the live hubs disagree with $515,272 or 188 donors, the newer FEC extract controls.

Citing Skadden Arps and 2012 together

Start with $515,272, then Skadden Arps 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Skadden Arps, 2012, $515,272, 416 contributions, 188 donors, 9.6% of $5,342,997, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string SKADDEN ARPS.

The 9.6% share, the 188-donor count, and the $1,239 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
