Generic exec phrase, larger mean gift
$13,233,638 is the occupation-level dollar total. 17,438 is the itemization count. 1,674 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $759. Mean dollars per donor record are about $7,905. Repeat giving is about 10 itemizations per donor record.
1,674 donor records against 17,438 lines is a compact pool. The per-line mean of about $759 is larger than high-volume workplace titles in this harvest band and closer to other executive strings that post fewer, larger checks.
These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no employer field, no company-size cut, and no gift-size distribution.
BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is not EXECUTIVE
EXECUTIVE, BUSINESS, BUSINESS OWNER, and BUSINESSMAN are neighboring occupation keys. This page cites only BUSINESS EXECUTIVE: $13,233,638, 17,438 contributions, and 1,674 donors. Those other strings stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized them here.
The FEC does not verify officer filings. People who used the phrase as a prestige label, owners who typed executive, and staff with a generic C-suite shorthand can all appear. Occupation is per transaction.
What the table is not
$13,233,638 is not a corporate PAC total and not an industry-of-employer sum. Industry pages group employers. A business executive at a manufacturer and one at a hospital share this occupation string if they typed BUSINESS EXECUTIVE.
Do not add this occupation total to EXECUTIVE or BUSINESS dollars and call the result executive giving. That homemade cluster is a different query. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $13.2 million.

Limits
1,674 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Extra words (retired business executive, small business executive) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to BUSINESS EXECUTIVE.
Do not treat the mean of about $7,905 per donor record as typical executive compensation allocated to politics. It is an arithmetic mean of itemized occupation money.

LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Compact millions ($13.2 million) are the same headline amount as $13,233,638, rounded to one decimal place. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.
