What FINANCIAL ADVISOR donors give in federal races

Advisor spelling as the occupation key

$27,416,858, 93,373 itemizations, and 5,398 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $294. Mean dollars per donor record is about $5,079. Repeat giving is about 17 itemizations per donor record.

The per-line mean sits with other mid-volume professional labels. FINANCIAL ADVISER with an e, if present as a separate key, is not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized it here.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Not an RIA roster and not a NAICS code

The FEC record does not verify that the donor is a registered investment adviser, a broker, or a CFP professional. Insurance-licensed agents who typed FINANCIAL ADVISOR can appear. This overlay does not split those licenses.

This page cites only $27,416,858, 93,373 contributions, and 5,398 donors. Industry pages that group finance employers are a different cut.

Donor records versus unique humans

5,398 donor records used FINANCIAL ADVISOR on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed this two-word title on some gifts and INSURANCE AGENT on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the title.

Keep finance industry dollars separate

Industry tables group employers. Advisors at different firms share this occupation string if they typed FINANCIAL ADVISOR. Adding $27,416,858 to a finance industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Open the FINANCIAL ADVISOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see PORTFOLIO MANAGER and INVESTMENT MANAGER as neighboring keys.

Citation

Name both words and the American spelling: FINANCIAL ADVISOR itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $27,416,858 on 93,373 contributions from 5,398 donor records. Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. If a brief needs “wealth-management titles,” list each occupation string separately.

Advisor spelling as the public-record unit

FINANCIAL ADVISOR in this extract is $27,416,858 on 93,373 itemizations from 5,398 donor records, or $27.4 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. Broker-dealer reps, RIA staff, and insurance-licensed agents may all type this pair of words. The FEC file does not sort those licenses. 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 $294 per contribution and about $5,079 per donor record, with roughly 17 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as PORTFOLIO MANAGER, INVESTMENT MANAGER, and INSURANCE AGENT remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to FINANCIAL ADVISOR. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 93,373 lines from 5,398 donor records is a mid-volume advice title, not a FINRA or CFP extract.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $27,416,858. A person who listed FINANCIAL ADVISOR 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 FINANCIAL ADVISOR, dollars equal $27,416,858, contributions equal 93,373, donors equal 5,398. 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 ($27.4 million) are the same headline amount as $27,416,858, 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 FINANCIAL ADVISOR 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.
