What chairman-and-CEO donors give in federal races

Donors who entered CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. as occupation account for $7,049,855 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 1,548 contributions from 317 donor records. The punctuated dual rank is stored as typed, separately from CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD and from CEO if those keys did not normalize here. In compact millions the occupation total is $7.0 million.

Key figures

  • CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. occupation itemizations sum to $7,049,855 from 1,548 contributions and 317 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $4,554 per contribution and about $22,239 per donor record.
  • The punctuated dual rank is stored separately from CEO unless the extract merged them.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Dual-rank punctuation, a $4,554 mean

$7,049,855, 1,548 itemizations, and 317 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $4,554. Mean dollars per donor record are about $22,239. Repeat giving is about 5 itemizations per donor record.

1,548 lines from 317 records is a thin, high-mean dual-rank stack. The $4,554 per-line mean is among the highest in this occupation extract. Arithmetic means are not medians; a handful of large itemizations can dominate the average on a 317-record pool.

317 donor records on 1,548 lines is a thin dual-rank pool: about 5 itemizations per record. The $4,554 per-line mean and about $22,239 per donor record sit near SENATOR’s high-mean pattern. On a 317-record pool, a handful of large itemizations can dominate both averages. The packet has no public-company flag and no party split, so $7,049,855 cannot be read as a combined chair-CEO census.

CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. is not CEO and not CHAIRMAN

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds both offices. Private-company founders, nonprofit chairs, and retirees can all type CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled officer vocabulary or consistent punctuation.

This page cites only $7,049,855, 1,548 contributions, and 317 donors. CEO, CHAIRMAN, and CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.

Donor records and dual executive titles

317 donor records used CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. on some gifts and CEO on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or public-company status from the punctuated string. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $7,049,855.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 1,548 lines are occupation-side totals only. Refunds, redesignations, and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Do not treat $7,049,855 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group employers, not this dual rank

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A manufacturing chair-CEO and a bank chair-CEO share this occupation string if they typed CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. Adding $7,049,855 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the punctuated rank next to CEO and CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN & C.E.O., dollars equal $7,049,855, contributions equal 1,548, donors equal 317, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Quote the three facts together so the high mean on a small donor pool is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

Reading CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. as a punctuated dual-rank key

CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. in this extract is $7,049,855 on 1,548 itemizations from 317 donor records, or $7.0 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. People who type CHAIRMAN AND CEO, CEO, or CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact CHAIRMAN & C.E.O. key is in $7,049,855.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $4,554 per contribution and about $22,239 per donor record, with roughly 5 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. 317 donor records on 1,548 lines is a thin high-mean dual-rank pool, not a census of combined chair-CEOs.

Industry pages should not be added to $7,049,855. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN & C.E.O., dollars equal $7,049,855, contributions equal 1,548, donors equal 317.

CHAIRMAN & C.E.O., CEO, and CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only CHAIRMAN & C.E.O.: $7,049,855, 1,548 contributions, 317 donors. Punctuation and the ampersand are part of the stored key; CHAIRMAN AND CEO, if it exists, is not rolled into $7,049,855 unless the extract merged it.
