CME as FEC employer text: $10.6 million

Three letters as stored, not a guessed expansion

FEC employer text is whatever filers typed. CME is those three letters as grouped. The $10,607,839 total is itemized individual gifts with that grouping. This page does not assert that every row is a particular exchange holding company, a medical credential, or another expansion. The public record stores the abbreviation.

People who typed a longer legal name, BANKER, TRADER, or SELF-EMPLOYED sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into CME. MD is a different two-letter key with its own page.

897 donors and 26,311 lines

897 unique donors produced 26,311 CME contribution lines totaling $10,607,839. Receipts per donor run near 29. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among possible meanings of the abbreviation.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. Named-firm PAC filings are other documents unless an individual receipt itself carries this three-letter string.

Finance-title siblings stay separate

INVESTMENT BANKER, BANKER, MORGAN STANLEY, and GOLDMAN SACHS are separate keys. Combining them with CME would mix guessed identities with stored text. This page stays at $10,607,839 for CME only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the three letters. Those occupation words remain the right place to compare job titles next to this abbreviation.

Donor table

The CME donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach an exchange membership, a CFTC docket, or a motive to the three letters. The FEC field is not a membership roster of any named exchange.

Repeat names among 26,311 lines from 897 people are expected. People who typed a full legal name instead of CME are not in these 897 unless a receipt also carried the abbreviation.

CME’s 26,311 lines from 897 donors totaling $10,607,839 stay on the three letters as stored. This page still does not expand the abbreviation. MD is a different letter key. BANKER, INVESTMENT BANKER, MORGAN STANLEY, and GOLDMAN SACHS remain title and firm rows. Unitemized gifts stay out. Occupation pages show titles beside CME. The donor table is not a membership roster of any guessed exchange. Follow committees for party and office. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS.

People who typed a longer legal name are in those other rows if grouped separately.
