What ANALYST donors give in federal races

Generic title with a thick line stack

$21,535,032, 95,588 itemizations, and 3,688 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $225. Mean dollars per donor record is about $5,840. Repeat giving is about 26 itemizations per donor record.

The contribution count is large relative to the dollars. A citation that quotes only $21.5 million hides 95,588 lines. Quote both.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median and no specialty split.

Analyst is not a Wall Street census

The FEC occupation column does not split equity analysts from intelligence analysts or data analysts. Researchers who need one of those senses must use employer text; this overlay does not invent that split.

This page cites only $21,535,032, 95,588 contributions, and 3,688 donors. PORTFOLIO MANAGER and INVESTMENT BANKER remain other keys.

Donor-record limits

3,688 donor records used ANALYST on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed ANALYST on some gifts and ASSOCIATE on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the noun.

Industry pages are not this filter

Industry tables group employers. Analysts in finance, government, and tech share this occupation string if they typed ANALYST. Adding $21,535,032 to a finance industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations and also mislabels non-finance analysts.

Open the ANALYST occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see neighboring finance titles as separate keys.

Citation

Quote occupation equals ANALYST, dollars equal $21,535,032, contributions equal 95,588, donors equal 3,688, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Keep the line count in the sentence so the modest mean is visible.

A junior-or-generic noun that is not a desk census

ANALYST in this extract is $21,535,032 on 95,588 itemizations from 3,688 donor records, or $21.5 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact. Equity research, intelligence, and data teams share this word in English. FEC occupation shares it in the extract. Employer text is required to split them. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a licensing roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $225 per contribution and about $5,840 per donor record, with roughly 26 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as PORTFOLIO MANAGER and INVESTMENT BANKER remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to ANALYST. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 95,588 lines from 3,688 donor records is a high-repeat generic title. Folding it into INVESTMENT BANKER would invent a Wall Street cluster the file does not publish.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $21,535,032. A person who listed ANALYST on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines, because occupation is stored per transaction. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals ANALYST, dollars equal $21,535,032, contributions equal 95,588, donors equal 3,688. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($21.5 million) are the same headline amount as $21,535,032, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see whether ANALYST is a high-volume stack, a concentrated pool, or a high-repeat status label. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
