EXECUTIVE as FEC text: $87.2M from 1,397 donors

Title without a company

Some donors write EXECUTIVE in both employer and occupation boxes. That produces a generic title cluster instead of a Microsoft or Goldman row. The $87.2M total is that generic cluster. It is not 'C-suite giving' as a researched category; FEC text has no officer-rank field.

People who typed CEO, OWNER, or a ticker-name employer are elsewhere. LobbyVault does not promote EXECUTIVE into those strings.

1,397 donors, 33,149 lines, $87.2M

1,397 donors produced 33,149 EXECUTIVE contribution lines. Receipt count is high relative to unique donors but lower than many status-word clusters. Dollars can still be large on a short list. This page does not invent a mean gift.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Use the donor table for committees.

Neighbors in the ranked table

BUSINESSMAN, INVESTOR, and CONSULTANT sit near EXECUTIVE in dollars. They are different words and different donor sets. Adding them would create a homemade 'elite' total that is not in FEC.gov and not on this page.

Occupation pages show EXECUTIVE as occupation with a corporate employer — those receipts may harvest to the corporation. Officer titles on 10-K filings (CEO, CFO, president) are not mapped onto EXECUTIVE. The $87.2M total is 1,397 donors and 33,149 lines with this generic word. Named companies absorb officers who typed the letterhead. Those officers are missing here by spelling, not by a LobbyVault filter.

Donor table

The EXECUTIVE donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public contribution. It is not evidence of a pay package, a stock grant, or a lobbying contract. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the title.

With 1,397 donors, the table is scanable. Still match on committee and date when surnames collide. Compensation committees and stock-grant tables are not in FEC individual receipts. A large EXECUTIVE gift is still only a disclosed contribution. The 1,397-person list is short enough to scan; it is not a C-suite census.

Source

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $87.2M, 33,149 contributions, 1,397 donors, top employer EXECUTIVE. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. BUSINESSMAN remains a neighboring gendered title with a separate donor count donors. Do not add $87.2M to the BUSINESSMAN headline as a leadership bloc. FEC.gov stored two strings, and LobbyVault indexed two rows.

Officer titles the FEC does not rank

CEO, PRESIDENT, OWNER, and named companies are not inside the $87.2M EXECUTIVE total. The 33,149 contribution lines and 1,397 donors are the generic title only. Unitemized gifts, state races, and corporate PACs are omitted. LobbyVault does not map EXECUTIVE onto an officer-rank field, because FEC schedules do not have one.

BUSINESSMAN is a neighboring short-list title, not a synonym. Occupation pages show EXECUTIVE as occupation with a corporate employer — those lines may harvest to the corporation. Open the EXECUTIVE donor table for names and committees. The word is self-reported FEC text, not a NAICS management occupation, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation pages show EXECUTIVE as occupation beside a corporate employer. Those mixed lines may harvest to the company. Open both the company key and this 33,149-line title table when tracing an officer. 10-K officer lists will not reproduce the 1,397 EXECUTIVE donors. People type CEO, PRESIDENT, OWNER, or a company name instead. The $87.2M total and 33,149 lines are the generic title. BUSINESSMAN is a neighboring short list (a separate donor count donors, the BUSINESSMAN total) and is still a different word. Compensation tables are not in these receipts. A large line is a disclosed gift, not a pay package. Occupation pages show EXECUTIVE as occupation with a corporate employer; harvest may send those lines to the company. Unitemized gifts, state races, and corporate PACs are omitted. Cite $87.2M as the EXECUTIVE string from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS management occupation. Proxy statements list officers by role. FEC EXECUTIVE lists 1,397 people who typed this generic title, producing 33,149 lines and $87.2M. CEO and PRESIDENT spellings left. Company letterheads left. BUSINESSMAN is a different short list at the BUSINESSMAN total and a separate donor count donors. Do not add the two headlines. Compensation is not in the receipt. Occupation pages catch EXECUTIVE as occupation with a firm employer. Unitemized gifts stay out. FEC.gov via LobbyVault holds the generic title only.

Questions

How much have EXECUTIVE donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $87.2M to the EXECUTIVE FEC string, from 33,149 contributions and 1,397 donors. Company-name employers and titles such as CEO are separate rows if those were the stored words. The label is not a NAICS occupation. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Does this include all corporate officers?

No. Only receipts grouped under EXECUTIVE. Officers who typed a firm name, PRESIDENT, or OWNER are in other industry keys. The $87.2M figure is the generic title. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Why so few donors relative to the dollars?

The unique-donor count is 1,397 against 33,149 contribution lines. Repeat gifts and large itemized amounts can produce $87.2M on a short list. The packet does not publish an average. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Is EXECUTIVE merged with BUSINESSMAN?

No. They are different free-text values. LobbyVault keeps separate rows because the FEC file does. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. This answer uses only the packet totals for that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov, with no NAICS overlay applied.
