What CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER donors give in federal races

Spelled-out title versus the three-letter key

$38,104,099, 33,318 itemizations, and 3,454 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $1,144. Mean dollars per donor record is about $11,032. Repeat giving is about 10 itemizations per donor record.

English speakers may treat CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER and CEO as synonyms. The FEC occupation column does not. Combining them without showing both source totals mixes keys. This page cites only the spelled-out facts.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median and no party split.

What the donor count is not

3,454 donor records used CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER on at least one matching itemization. That is not a count of sitting chief executives, public or private. Address variants split records. People who used CEO on other gifts will also appear in that other occupation total for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. The FEC record does not verify corporate form or whether the title is current.

Why 33,318 lines still matter

A $38.1 million headline with 33,318 lines is a different shape from a similar dollar total on a few thousand lines. Quote the contribution count so readers do not imagine a handful of mega-checks only. The file still contains both large and small itemizations; the packet simply does not publish the split.

LobbyVault does not infer motive from the title. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Industry pages remain a different filter

Industry tables group employers. Chief executives in different sectors share this occupation string if they typed the three words. Adding $38,104,099 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see CEO and dual-title spellings as separate rows.

How researchers should cite the spelled-out string

If a brief needs a single chief-executive figure, the honest method is to list CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER on its own and then footnote CEO and C.E.O. as separate keys. This overlay does not add them.

A public-record sentence: occupation equals CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, dollars equal $38,104,099, contributions equal 33,318, donors equal 3,454, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Spelling out the office instead of abbreviating it

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER in this extract is $38,104,099 on 33,318 itemizations from 3,454 donor records, or $38.1 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. Software that expands abbreviations and humans who dislike periods both feed this three-word key. That is a filing habit, not a different job. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a licensing roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $1,144 per contribution and about $11,032 per donor record, with roughly 10 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as CEO, C.E.O., PRESIDENT & CEO, and PRESIDENT/C.E.O. remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 33,318 lines from 3,454 donor records is enough volume that quoting only $38.1 million erases the itemization pattern.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $38,104,099. A person who listed CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines, because occupation is stored per transaction. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, dollars equal $38,104,099, contributions equal 33,318, donors equal 3,454. 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 ($38.1 million) are the same headline amount as $38,104,099, 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 whether CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER is a high-volume stack, a concentrated pool, or a high-repeat status label. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
