What co-owner donors give in federal races

Shared-ownership title, a $666 mean

$8,016,015, 12,041 itemizations, and 1,376 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $666. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,826. Repeat giving is about 9 itemizations per donor record.

12,041 lines from 1,376 records is a mid-volume ownership-title stack. The $666 per-line mean sits between many employee titles and concentrated partner keys. The packet has no equity-share field and no median gift.

1,376 donor records on 12,041 lines is a mid-volume ownership pool. Repeat giving of about 9 itemizations per record matches BOARD MEMBER’s cadence more than BOOKKEEPER’s high-repeat stack. The packet has no equity-percentage field, no entity-type flag, and no party split, so $8,016,015 cannot be read as a partnership-filing census.

CO-OWNER is not OWNER and not PARTNER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds legal title to a business. Spouses, franchise operators, and LLC members can all type CO-OWNER. Best-efforts rules do not force a uniform ownership vocabulary.

This page cites only $8,016,015, 12,041 contributions, and 1,376 donors. OWNER, PARTNER, and PARTNER/PRINCIPAL 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 ownership labels

1,376 donor records used CO-OWNER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed CO-OWNER on some gifts and OWNER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or industry from the hyphenated word. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $8,016,015.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 12,041 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 $8,016,015 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group employers, not co-owners

Industry pages group employer-side categories. Two co-owners of the same shop share this occupation string if they typed CO-OWNER. Adding $8,016,015 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the CO-OWNER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the hyphenated label next to OWNER and PARTNER.

CO-OWNER dollars of $8,016,015 sit on 12,041 itemizations from 1,376 donor records. The hyphenated label is a free-text occupation, not a Secretary of State partnership extract. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code and never enter this total.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals CO-OWNER, dollars equal $8,016,015, contributions equal 12,041, donors equal 1,376, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Quote the three facts together so the mid-range mean is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

Reading CO-OWNER as a hyphenated ownership key

CO-OWNER in this extract is $8,016,015 on 12,041 itemizations from 1,376 donor records, or $8.0 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 OWNER, COOWNER without a hyphen, or BUSINESS OWNER may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact CO-OWNER key is in $8,016,015.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $666 per contribution and about $5,826 per donor record, with roughly 9 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no entity-type field, and no party split. 1,376 donor records on 12,041 lines is a mid-volume shared-ownership pool, not a census of partnership filings.

Industry pages should not be added to $8,016,015. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CO-OWNER, dollars equal $8,016,015, contributions equal 12,041, donors equal 1,376.

CO-OWNER, OWNER, and PARTNER/PRINCIPAL can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only CO-OWNER: $8,016,015, 12,041 contributions, 1,376 donors. Hyphenation matters: COOWNER without a hyphen, if it exists as a key, is not rolled into $8,016,015 unless the extract merged it. Candidate and committee pages remain the recipient-side lookup.
