AFLAC money in federal elections

Four-letter brand, not an insurance-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. AFLAC is the brand as committees stored it on individual receipts. The $3,600,616 total is those itemized gifts. It is not premium volume, not a supplemental-health-product total, and not a NAICS direct-life-and-health-insurance category covering every carrier.

People who typed AFLAC INC, AFLAC INCORPORATED, AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, or INSURANCE AGENT without the brand sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined Aflac family must recode after export. Top employer matches AFLAC.

351 donors and 12,748 lines

351 unique donors produced 12,748 AFLAC contribution lines totaling $3,600,616. That is on the order of 36 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $282. Mean per donor is about $10,258. The packet does not publish an agent-versus-home-office split or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,600,616 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is federal itemized individual receipts only.

AFLAC INC and other carriers stay separate

AFLAC INC, AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE, NEW YORK LIFE, and INSURANCE AGENT are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with AFLAC would mix a short brand, a legal-suffix spelling, a spelled-out historic name, and a generic sales title. This page stays at $3,600,616 for AFLAC only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the brand. AGENT, UNDERWRITER, and EXECUTIVE exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of AFLAC. State filings are omitted from the $3,600,616.

Donor table without product inference

The AFLAC donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a supplemental-policy book, a state license, or a motive to that line. Independent agents who type the brand share the string with home-office staff. The FEC field is not an agent roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the brand. Repeat names among 12,748 lines from 351 people are expected. People who typed AFLAC INC are not in these 351 unless a receipt also grouped to AFLAC.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $3,600,616, 12,748 contributions, 351 donors, top employer AFLAC. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts. State filings are omitted.

The ranking uses FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Open AFLAC INC as a sibling legal-suffix page if it exists. Use occupation breakdowns for titles stored next to this employer. About 36 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $282 are arithmetic on the packet.

Short AFLAC versus INC suffix and spelled-out assurance names

AFLAC keyed $3.6M from 12,748 contributions and 351 donors. AFLAC INC and AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE remain other keys. The 351 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of agents plus home office. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the brand.

Keep $3,600,616, 12,748 contributions, and 351 donors on this four-letter spelling. Unitemized gifts and company PAC documents remain omitted. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages.

Read $3,600,616 as the short AFLAC cluster only. About 36 gifts per person, a mean gift near $282, and about $10,258 per donor are packet arithmetic. A thick receipt file is consistent with repeat itemized gifts; the packet does not publish an agent-versus-home-office split. Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.6M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

LobbyVault does not recode AFLAC INC into this short brand. The FEC field is not a NAICS insurance-carriers total. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Open the AFLAC donor table for line-level detail. All industries lists other insurer-employer strings without merging them here.

Questions

How much have AFLAC-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,600,616 to the AFLAC employer string, from 12,748 contributions and 351 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS insurance-carriers total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is AFLAC INC included in this total?

Only if those receipts grouped to the short AFLAC key. AFLAC INC and AMERICAN FAMILY LIFE ASSURANCE are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.6M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to AFLAC. LobbyVault does not merge legal-suffix variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include the company’s PAC?

Not unless an individual receipt itself lists AFLAC. Committee PAC filings sit outside the $3,600,616 individual rollup. This page reports itemized contributor disclosures, not independent expenditures. Unitemized gifts are omitted. The $3.6M figure is the individual employer-string total only. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed AFLAC?

The rollup counts 351 donors and 12,748 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee or agent headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
