C.E.O. as a punctuated FEC occupation key

A small key with very large mean amounts

16,202 itemizations is a thin stack. Against $69,994,622, the mean is about $4,320 per contribution. Against 3,085 donors, the mean is about $22,689 per donor record. About 5 contributions per donor is a low repeat rate next to high-frequency professions.

That shape is concentration: few records, large average lines. Means of this size are sensitive to a heavy tail. The packet has no median and no top-gift table.

CEO without periods is a different occupation page. Combining the two without showing both source totals would mix keys the bulk file kept apart. This overlay cites only $69,994,622, 16,202 contributions, and 3,085 donors.

Why punctuation splits disclosure

Occupation is free text. Some treasurers type C.E.O. Some import routines preserve periods. LobbyVault indexes the normalized string as it appears in the extract. Researchers who want a combined chief-executive figure must add CEO and C.E.O. themselves and label the sum.

Chief executive officer spelled out is yet another string if it did not normalize to C.E.O. Best-efforts rules do not force a single spelling.

What 3,085 donors is not

3,085 is not the number of U.S. chief executives and not a subset of the CEO page’s donor count after fuzzy matching. It is contributor records attached to the punctuated string. The same person can appear on both pages if different gifts used different spellings.

Employer is a separate field and is not one of the three packet facts. Industry pages will not equal this occupation total. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $70.0 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Using both CEO hubs

Open the C.E.O. occupation page for this string’s rows. Open CEO for the unpunctuated key. Use the occupations index to see both. Do not assign party from the title.

Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are omitted. Harvested facts have no cycle year. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $70.0 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Limits

Live filters may change displayed sums. These three numbers do not verify that the donor was a sitting chief executive. Occupation is self-reported text.

Researchers comparing occupation keys should keep C.E.O. on its own line with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring strings. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut and should not be added to this occupation total. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $70.0 million is itemized activity for this string in the loaded extract. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $70.0 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Why the periods on C.E.O. change the public record

C.E.O. is $70.0 million on 16,202 itemizations from 3,085 donor records. Mean line size is about $4,320 and mean dollars per donor record are about $22,689—far above the unpunctuated CEO key, which has many more donors. The periods are enough to fork disclosure. Researchers who want both spellings must add the keys and label the sum. This overlay does not add them.

3,085 records can overlap the CEO page when the same person used both spellings. That overlap cannot be netted from these facts. Chief executive officer spelled out is yet another string if it did not normalize here. Industry pages will not equal $69,994,622. Treat C.E.O. as an exact-string filter with a heavy tail of large itemizations.

Questions

How much have C.E.O. occupation donors given?

Occupation C.E.O. is attached to $69,994,622 in LobbyVault’s FEC bulk index, from 16,202 contributions and 3,085 donor records. The CEO string without periods is a separate total. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Why is C.E.O. split from CEO?

Occupation is free text. Periods change the stored key. This page covers C.E.O. only: $69,994,622, 16,202 contributions, and 3,085 donors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Why is the average so high?

$69,994,622 on 16,202 itemizations is about $4,320 per contribution, and about $22,689 per donor record. Those are means on a small-volume key. The packet does not include a median. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. The live hub may apply cycle filters; this packet is the harvested occupation key.

Should I add CEO and C.E.O. together?

Only if you label the sum as a combination of two occupation keys. The FEC file stores them separately. This overlay does not add the CEO page’s facts. The matching contribution count is 16,202 and the matching donor-record count is 3,085. Those three numbers are occupation-string totals from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault, not a licensed roster and not a party split.
