How much did SSGT filers give to Sean Eldridge for Congress?

$4,255,000 in 246 itemized contributions to C00541227, 79.7% of SSGT’s $5,337,836 occupation total. Mean $17,297 is total divided by receipt count. Unique donors are unpublished. Independent expenditures are excluded. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Does SSGT mean all donors were staff sergeants?

The FEC stores the occupation string SSGT as typed. It does not certify military rank, branch, or current service. Other spellings of the rank are other keys. This join does not recode service records into the occupation field. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Why is the average gift so large?

Because $4,255,000 is spread across only 246 receipts. Mean $17,297 is arithmetic. A small number of large itemized gifts can raise the mean. The packet has no median. Cite the two integers rather than the mean alone.

Is this the campaign’s total fundraising?

No. $4,255,000 is the SSGT occupation slice of C00541227. Other occupations on Sean Eldridge for Congress sit on the committee overlay. The occupation hub holds SSGT gifts to every other committee as well. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
