Why U S Government and 2012 share a page

U S Government pages without a year mix every even-year window. 2012 pages without this string mix every employer and occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $334,949 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged U S GOVERNMENT in 2012. 273 contributions and 72 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored employer label is self-reported employer string as filed, not a named agency. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. A treasury disbursement, a named-agency pac, or federal government as a sibling string would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $3,913,536 on the industry hub and keep the 2012 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $334,949.

2012 as a slice of $3,913,536

$3,913,536 is the all-cycle total stored for U S GOVERNMENT. Subtract $334,949 and $3,578,587 remains in other cycles (91.4%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 8.6% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.

Do not read 8.6% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $334,949 divided by $3,913,536. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 8.6% ratio is $334,949 divided by $3,913,536. Other even-year joins for U S GOVERNMENT are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,578,587. Citing 2012 as if it were the U S Government lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,578,587.

Volume: 273 lines, 72 identities

273 itemized contributions and 72 unique donors sit behind $334,949. Average gift size is about $1,227; average dollars per donor about $4,652; lines per donor about 3.8. Averages hide skew.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for U S Government. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. A mean of $1,227 per itemized line and $4,652 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 273 contributions remaining larger than 72 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

The two-year 2012 window

FEC election cycles are two-year spans. 2012 covers that even-year window, so receipts from the odd year before the election can sit in $334,949. This packet does not split those years.

The 2012 hub is the place to see every other employer string that year. This page keeps the U S Government filter on. Without a cycle-wide total in the facts, no percentage of national 2012 giving is claimed. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $334,949 if they were itemized against U S GOVERNMENT. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Form text is not a payroll file

FEC employer and occupation fields are typed by filers. U S GOVERNMENT is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, tribal enrollment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. U S Government here is self-reported employer string as filed, not a named agency.

PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $334,949 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $334,949. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail. U S Government as self-reported employer string as filed, not a named agency can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $334,949. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

How to quote $334,949

A complete quote names both sides: U S Government and 2012, $334,949, 273 itemized contributions, 72 unique donors, FEC.gov. Add 8.6% of $3,913,536 if the lifetime context matters. Omit any number that is not in those facts.
