NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

A generic title on a company PAC

Agent is a short FEC occupation stamp. It can mean insurance agent, real-estate agent, talent agent, or another job that fit on the line. This join does not split those senses. $4,617,109 is whatever filers typed Agent and listed C00158881 as the recipient committee.

35,855 receipts is a high line count relative to several professional-PAC joins of similar dollars. Mean $129 is consistent with many modest itemizations. The packet has no unique-donor count, so repeat payroll deductions can inflate 35,855 without enlarging the set of people.

Insurance Agent is a different occupation key with its own pages. Do not add that key to Agent and call the sum New York Life. The allowed links are Agent, the New York Life PAC committee page, All occupations, and All FEC ties.

Keep Agent → New York Life PAC (C00158881): $4,617,109 in 35,855 itemized receipts. on one sentence and the occupation-wide total on another. All FEC ties is the index for other occupation-to-committee pages. This snapshot does not replace FEC.gov bulk files.

Agent’s occupation-wide book

All committees that received occupation Agent total $11,103,127. 41.6% is this PAC. $6,486,018 (58.4%) is every other federal recipient of the same three-letter-style title. Real-estate and sports-agent folklore is not a packet split.

Self-employed, insurance agent, and registered representative can exist as other strings. They are not inside $11,103,127 unless FEC stored them as AGENT. LobbyVault does not recode job titles into a Bureau of Labor Statistics occupation.

Quote Agent for the occupation-wide $11,103,127 and quote NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00158881) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $4,617,109 across 35,855 itemized receipts, 41.6% of the occupation book, mean $129. Remainder $6,486,018 (58.4%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Itemized individual contributions only; independent expenditures are outside the source note. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $4,617,109 to $11,103,127. Do not treat 35,855 as unique donors.

Questions

How much did Agent filers give to New York Life PAC?

$4,617,109 across 35,855 itemized contributions to C00158881. That is 41.6% of the Agent occupation total of $11,103,127. The occupation string is generic; it is not limited to insurance agents and is not a New York Life headcount.

Why are there 35,855 contributions in the join?

35,855 is a receipt count, not unique donors. Repeat itemizations can raise the count. Mean $129 uses $4,617,109 divided by that count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. Cite the two integers together. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Is this the same as the Insurance Agent occupation page?

No. Insurance Agent is a different FEC occupation key. This join uses Agent only. Adding the two keys would invent a recode FEC did not store. Use All occupations to move between title strings. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Does $4.6 million include New York Life’s independent expenditures?

No. Source notes itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Independent expenditures and the PAC’s spending are outside $4,617,109. The committee overlay is the place to read C00158881 beyond this occupation slice. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
