CEO money in federal elections

A title in the employer field, not a company roster

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. CEO is three letters as stored. The $3,924,702 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER spelled out, not OWNER, and not a NAICS holding-company category.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE, OWNER, PRESIDENT, and named-company strings sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into CEO. The FEC field records what was typed, not a Compustat executive file.

476 donors and 7,018 lines

476 unique donors produced 7,018 CEO contribution lines totaling $3,924,702. That is on the order of 15 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $559. Mean per donor is about $8,245. The packet does not publish a firm-size split or an industry-of-employer cut.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,924,702 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

OWNER, PRESIDENT, and named firms stay separate

OWNER, PRESIDENT, FINANCIAL CONSULTANT, and STOCKBROKER are separate keys. Combining them with CEO would invent an executive recode. This page stays at $3,924,702 for the three-letter title only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside CEO as typed. A donor who listed a company name is not in these 476 people unless the receipt grouped to CEO.

Donor table without firm inference

The CEO donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a company, a compensation filing, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not an SEC executive roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the title string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

Three-letter CEO versus OWNER and PRESIDENT

Questions

How much have CEO-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,924,702 to the CEO employer string, from 7,018 contributions and 476 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a PAC and not a NAICS executive-office total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER included?

Only if those receipts grouped to the three-letter CEO key. A spelled-out CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER string is a separate grouped key if filers used it. The $3.9M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to CEO. LobbyVault does not merge spelled-out variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include OWNER or PRESIDENT filers?

No. OWNER and PRESIDENT are separate title strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text CEO. Staff who typed a company name sit in that firm row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed CEO?

The rollup counts 476 donors and 7,018 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a Compustat executive headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
