What chairman/ceo donors give in federal races

A small slash-title pool with a larger mean line

$5,854,029 is the occupation-level dollar total. 2,271 is the itemization count. 405 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $2,578 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $14,454 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 6 itemizations per donor record. Two thousand-plus itemizations from 405 donor records is a low-line, high-dollar pattern: fewer receipts than high-volume professional labels with similar headline dollars.

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 $2,578 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Dividing dollars by lines yields a larger mean gift than occupation keys that post tens of thousands of receipts. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution.

How slashes split chairman and CEO

CHAIRMAN/CEO uses a slash. CHAIRMAN AND CEO spells the conjunction. Each exact match is its own occupation key when the index has rows. Combining them would invent a total this packet does not publish.

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/CEO after indexing. CHAIRMAN AND CEO, CEO, and CHAIRMAN remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to CHAIRMAN/CEO.

What 405 donor records can and cannot show

405 donor records used CHAIRMAN/CEO on at least one matching itemization. 405 donor records is a thin census even by FEC occupation standards. Treat it as a count of contributor records that used this exact slash, not as a count of sitting chairs and chief executives.

A person who listed CHAIRMAN/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.

Do not add industry dollars to this title

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. An executive in finance and an executive in manufacturing share this occupation string if they typed CHAIRMAN/CEO. Adding $5,854,029 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the CHAIRMAN/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 $5,854,029.

How to cite the CHAIRMAN/CEO key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: CHAIRMAN/CEO itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $5,854,029 on 2,271 contributions from 405 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. This file is a guide-only page for the slash spelling; it does not replace other chairman-CEO occupation hubs.

Why this slash spelling cannot be stretched into an executive census

CHAIRMAN/CEO in this extract is $5,854,029 on 2,271 itemizations from 405 donor records, or $5.9 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. Slash punctuation is doing real work here. Drop it and you are reading a different occupation page with different dollars. 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 $2,578 per contribution and about $14,454 per donor record, with roughly 6 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. CHAIRMAN AND CEO, CEO, and CHAIRMAN remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to CHAIRMAN/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 $5,854,029. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHAIRMAN/CEO, dollars equal $5,854,029, contributions equal 2,271, donors equal 405. 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 ($5.9 million) are the same headline amount as $5,854,029, 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/CEO in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have chairman/ceo donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list CHAIRMAN/CEO sum to $5,854,029 across 2,271 contributions and 405 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Is this the same as CHAIRMAN AND CEO?

No. Slash and spelled-out conjunctions are separate keys. This page covers CHAIRMAN/CEO only: $5,854,029, 2,271 contributions, and 405 donors. Mixing keys without naming each source total changes the unit. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Why so few contributions relative to the dollars?

The line count is 2,271 against $5,854,029, so mean dollars per contribution are about $2,578. That is a concentrated pattern, not an error. The 405 donor records still produced about 6 lines each. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Does listing CHAIRMAN/CEO prove the donor ran a public company?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Private-company chairs and nonprofit heads can all appear. Quote 2,271 contributions and 405 donor records with the $5,854,029 total. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
