Thomas H Lee Co and the 2012 FEC cycle

$1,429,250 in itemized individual contributions is the 2012-cycle cell for the Thomas H Lee Co employer grouping. Six donors and 45 contributions produced that sum on FEC.gov individual records. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $16,493,576, so this presidential window holds about 8.7% of the lifetime bucket — the same employer string as the 2014 Thomas H Lee Co join, crossed here with 2012.

Key figures

  • $1,429,250 joins Thomas H Lee Co to the 2012 FEC cycle.
  • 45 contributions from 6 donors concentrate the cell.
  • 2012 is about 8.7% of the grouping’s $16,493,576 lifetime total.
  • This join is 2012 only; employer tags are not PAC filings or USAspending awards.

Thomas H Lee Co × 2012, a different window than 2014

The employer hub stacks every cycle for Thomas H Lee Co into $16,493,576. Each cycle still gets its own relationship page. This one is 2012: $1,429,250 from 45 itemized gifts and 6 unique donors. It is not the 2014 cell, and it is not the hub.

Average contribution is about $31,761; average per donor is about $238,208. Those ratios still describe a concentrated private-equity employer string, but six donor keys is a wider base than a four-donor midterm cell for the same grouping. That is a description of two table rows, not a finding about the firm’s politics.

Employer text remains self-reported. Spellings of Thomas H. Lee Partners and THL may or may not sit in this same bucket.

About 9% of the grouping’s FEC total

$1,429,250 divided by $16,493,576 is about 8.7%. Other windows hold about 91%. A presidential-year cell near 9% is a substantial chapter for this employer string, not a majority of the lifetime total.

The industry hub is the place to line 2012 up next to other Thomas H Lee Co cycle cells. This tie only certifies the 2012 arithmetic.

Six donors, 45 contributions

A 45-to-6 ratio means repeated itemized activity. Joint fundraising, multiple committees, and both years of the cycle all add rows while the unique-donor count stays at six.

Individual receipts remain personal gifts tagged with an employer string. They are not the same as a management-company PAC.

2012 as the cycle filter

2012 covers federal activity in 2011–2012. Thomas H Lee Co’s $1,429,250 is one employer slice of that window. Ranking employer cells as influence would add a claim the FEC individual file does not carry.

Presidential years raise national itemized totals. That seasonal fact does not assign a reason to these six donors.

Six keys in a presidential year, same grouping as 2014

This page shares a grouping and a $16,493,576 lifetime total with the Thomas H Lee Co 2014 join. It does not share a cycle key. 2012 is $1,429,250 from six unique donors and 45 gifts. Six keys is a wider base than the four-donor 2014 cell. Shared grouping is not shared donor identity across years.

An 8.7% presidential-year share is a substantial chapter. Average gift size near $31,761 still describes large itemized receipts rather than a mass of small checks. Joint fundraising and multiple committees can explain 45 rows without adding unique-donor keys.

Portfolio companies and limited partners do not appear in these facts. Party and candidate live on the overlay. Federal awards live in USAspending. This 2012 join does not bridge those systems and does not replace the 2014 page.

Six unique-donor keys in 2012 versus four in 2014 is a count difference, not a named roster difference. This page’s facts are $1,429,250, 45 gifts, 6 donors, and an 8.7% share of $16,493,576. Average gift size near $31,761 still describes large itemized receipts. Shared lifetime denominator with the 2014 join does not make the donors the same people.

Presidential-year mechanics — primaries, generals, joint fundraising — add rows without adding keys. The overlay is the only place those mechanics become visible. Portfolio companies remain unlisted. Federal awards remain USAspending. This 2012 relationship record does not replace the 2014 sibling page and does not convert employer text into a fund PAC.

Forty-five contributions from six unique-donor keys can mix 2011 receipts with 2012 receipts, which is how the Thomas H Lee Co contribution count exceeds the donor count. $1,429,250 and an 8.7% share of $16,493,576 are the presidential-year join facts. The 2014 sibling page is a different filter, not a named roster continued.

What this 2012 employer join is not

The page does not identify which funds or portfolio companies the donors worked on. It does not show party. It does not link FEC gifts to USAspending awards.

Receipts are on the Thomas H Lee Co 2012 overlay. Other years are on the industry hub. Other 2012 employers are on the cycle hub. Other joins are on the ties index.

Questions

How much FEC money links Thomas H Lee Co to 2012?
The 2012-cycle cell is $1,429,250 in itemized individual contributions, from 45 contributions and 6 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That join is not PAC spending and not the grouping’s $16,493,576 all-cycle total. 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.
Is this the same as the Thomas H Lee Co 2014 page?
No. Both pages share the same employer grouping and the same lifetime total of $16,493,576, but the cycle keys differ. 2012 is $1,429,250 from 6 donors. This join is only the 2012 overlap. 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.
Did the firm itself donate $1,429,250?
The file is individual contributions tagged with the Thomas H Lee Co employer grouping. Those receipts are personal gifts. Corporate or PAC filings, if they exist under a similar name, are a different FEC form family. 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.
Are these donations connected to federal awards?
No. This page reports FEC individual contribution aggregates. It does not include USAspending obligations and does not claim that campaign receipts funded federal 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.
