Stephens Company and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Stephens Company as stored text, 2012 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — STEPHENS COMPANY and 2012 — sum to $544,600. 11 itemized contributions and 2 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Stephens Company hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Stephens Company is financial-firm employer text, not a verified payroll file. 2 donors and 11 lines in 2012 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string STEPHENS COMPANY.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $11,250,305 (all cycles for this string) as the 2012 story, and does not treat the 2012 cycle hub as a Stephens Company-only list. Two filters, one cell: $544,600.

4.8% of the Stephens Company roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $11,250,305. The 2012 slice of $544,600 is about 4.8% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.2% ($10,705,705). Treating 2012 as the entire Stephens Company FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $11,250,305 as the denominator for the 4.8% 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 $11,250,305. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

11 contributions from 2 donors

Dividing $544,600 by 11 contributions yields about $49,509 per itemized gift. Dividing by 2 donors yields about $272,300 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 5.5. 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.

The packet lists 2 unique donors. That is a small identity count, not a finding that Stephens Company as an institution wrote $544,600. One or a few people who reused the same employer or title field can dominate a cell. Repeat gifts raise 11 contribution lines above the 2-donor count. The overlay holds the rows.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Stephens Company 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 Stephens Company to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $544,600 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 11 contributions, the 2 unique donors, and the 4.8% share of $11,250,305.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $544,600. 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 financial-firm employer text, not Stephens Inc as a corporate treasury or a Stephens PAC.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 2 donors, and 11 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Citing Stephens Company and 2012 together

Start with $544,600, then Stephens Company 2012 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: STEPHENS COMPANY, 2012, $544,600, 11 contributions, 2 donors, 4.8% of $11,250,305, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.8% share, the 2-donor count, and the $49,509 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 11 itemized contributions totaling $544,600 average about $49,509 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
