What chairman and ceo donors give in federal races

Donors who listed CHAIRMAN AND CEO as occupation account for $6,773,997 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. That sum sits on 3,349 contribution lines tied to 461 donor records. Compared with occupation strings that reach similar dollars on tens of thousands of receipts, this is a low-line, high-dollar pattern. The dual title is self-reported. In compact form the occupation total is $6.8 million.

Key figures

  • CHAIRMAN AND CEO itemizations sum to $6,773,997 from 3,349 contributions and 461 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $2,023 per contribution and about $14,694 per donor record.
  • Slash and abbreviation CEO variants are excluded from this sum.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

Few lines, a large indexed sum

$6,773,997 is the occupation-level dollar total. 3,349 is the itemization count. 461 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $2,023 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $14,694 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 7 itemizations per donor record. Three thousand three hundred forty-nine itemizations from 461 people is a concentrated executive key, not a high-frequency small-dollar stream.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $2,023 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

A single amended or refunded line can move this occupation total more than it would in a 20,000-line bucket. The packet has no cycle series, so this guide does not invent one.

What Form 3 and Form 3X actually collect

Chairman-plus-CEO is a dual title. Some filers use a slash (CHAIRMAN/CEO), an ampersand, or only CEO. Those strings do not add into this total. LobbyVault keeps FEC occupation text exact.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals CHAIRMAN AND CEO after indexing. CHAIRMAN/CEO, CEO, and PRESIDENT AND CEO remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to CHAIRMAN AND CEO.

Why neighboring CEO strings exist

461 donor records used CHAIRMAN AND CEO on at least one matching itemization. It is not a count of every chair-CEO in the country. Private-company chairs, nonprofit chairs, and people using the dual title loosely can all appear.

A person who listed CHAIRMAN AND CEO on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction, not as a lifetime identity field. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

What the dollar total excludes

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. A chairman and CEO in manufacturing and one in finance share this occupation string if they typed CHAIRMAN AND CEO. Adding $6,773,997 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the CHAIRMAN AND CEO occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $6,773,997.

How to cite the chairman and CEO key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: CHAIRMAN AND CEO itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $6,773,997 on 3,349 contributions from 461 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. Occupation is a disclosure field, not a statement of control, ownership, or motive.

Reading CHAIRMAN AND CEO as a dual-title string

CHAIRMAN AND CEO in this extract is $6,773,997 on 3,349 itemizations from 461 donor records, or $6.8 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. Punctuation and conjunctions split C-suite titles; the spelled-out AND is doing real work in this key. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a verified roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $2,023 per contribution and about $14,694 per donor record, with roughly 7 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. CHAIRMAN/CEO, CEO, and PRESIDENT AND CEO remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to CHAIRMAN AND CEO. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $6,773,997. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN AND CEO, dollars equal $6,773,997, contributions equal 3,349, donors equal 461. 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 ($6.8 million) are the same headline amount as $6,773,997, 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 the shape of CHAIRMAN AND CEO in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
