Why US House of Representatives and 2012 share a page
US House of Representatives 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: $355,617 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged US House of Representatives in 2012. 438 contributions and 105 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.
The stored employer label is employer-field text for people listing the House, not official House accounts. The Commission does not certify that each filer worked there, held that title, or used a legal entity name. Neighboring spellings remain other keys. The house as an institution treasury, a leadership pac rollup, or members' official allowances would be a different dataset or a different string.
Keep $4,296,168 on the industry hub and keep the 2012 cycle hub for the year without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $355,617.
2012 as a slice of $4,296,168
$4,296,168 is the all-cycle total stored for US House of Representatives. Subtract $355,617 and $3,940,551 remains in other cycles (91.7%). 2012 therefore accounts for about 8.3% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other employers.
Do not read 8.3% as intensity, influence, or a planned 2012 campaign. It is $355,617 divided by $4,296,168. The industry hub is where the other windows live. The 8.3% ratio is $355,617 divided by $4,296,168. Other even-year joins for US House of Representatives are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,940,551. Citing 2012 as if it were the US House of Representatives lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,940,551.
Volume: 438 lines, 105 identities
438 itemized contributions and 105 unique donors sit behind $355,617. Average gift size is about $812; average dollars per donor about $3,387; lines per donor about 4.2. Averages hide skew.
Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and cycle. They are not staff headcount for US House of Representatives. This packet does not publish names. Open the overlay for rows; do not invent them here. A mean of $812 per itemized line and $3,387 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 438 contributions remaining larger than 105 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 $355,617. 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 US House of Representatives 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 $355,617 if they were itemized against US House of Representatives. 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. US House of Representatives is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, tribal enrollment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. US House of Representatives here is employer-field text for people listing the House, not official House accounts.
PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $355,617 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $355,617. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail. US House of Representatives as employer-field text for people listing the House, not official House accounts can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $355,617. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.
