THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC

Occupation Investment Banker accounts for $3.1 million ($3,148,488) to THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00350744). 4,011 itemized receipts sit in the join, mean $785. The occupation’s full book is $30.0 million ($30,023,152), so this company PAC is 10.5% of that title—not a headcount of Goldman Sachs bankers and not a Wall Street recode.

Key figures

  • Investment Banker → Goldman Sachs PAC (C00350744): $3,148,488 in 4,011 receipts.
  • 10.5% of Investment Banker’s $30,023,152 occupation-wide book.

A company PAC on a tenth of a finance title

10.5% of Investment Banker itemized dollars landed on Goldman Sachs PAC. $26,874,664 (89.5%) went to other federal committees. Candidate committees typically absorb much of a high-dollar occupation’s remainder.

4,011 receipts at mean $785 is a mid-count, larger-check pattern than a labor PAC with tens of thousands of lines. Unique donors are unpublished.

Keep Investment Banker → Goldman Sachs PAC (C00350744): $3,148,488 in 4,011 receipts. on one sentence and the occupation-wide total on another. All FEC ties indexes other occupation-to-committee pages. This snapshot does not replace FEC.gov bulk files.

INVESTMENT BANKER as typed

The occupation-wide total is $30,023,152. Banker and I-banker can exist as other strings. They are not inside $30,023,152 unless stored as INVESTMENT BANKER. Firm name is a different FEC field from occupation.

A Goldman Sachs employee who listed Managing Director would sit outside this occupation key. An investment banker at another firm who listed this occupation and this PAC would sit inside $3,148,488. Employer and occupation do not have to match.

Quote Investment Banker for the occupation-wide $30,023,152 and quote THE GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00350744) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $3,148,488 across 4,011 itemized receipts, 10.5% of the occupation book, mean $785. Remainder $26,874,664 (89.5%) 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 $3,148,488 to $30,023,152. Do not treat 4,011 as unique donors.
