FINANCIAL CONSULTANT money in federal elections
Filers who listed FINANCIAL CONSULTANT on federal itemized receipts account for $4.0M ($3,958,795) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 11,916 contributions and 330 donors. The two-word string is a function written in the employer box, not a NAICS securities-intermediation total and not a PAC.
Key figures
- FINANCIAL CONSULTANT as FEC employer text totals $4.0M ($3,958,795) from 330 donors.
- 11,916 contribution lines sit under that two-word function string.
- CONSULTANT, self/consultant, and STOCKBROKER are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or PAC total.
A title in the employer field, not a firm roster
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. FINANCIAL CONSULTANT is the credential-plus-function as stored. The $3,958,795 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not CONSULTANT alone, not self/consultant with a slash, and not a NAICS investment-advice category.
CONSULTANT, self/consultant, STOCKBROKER, and named broker-dealers sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into FINANCIAL CONSULTANT. The FEC field records what was typed, not a FINRA registration file.
330 donors and 11,916 lines
330 unique donors produced 11,916 FINANCIAL CONSULTANT contribution lines totaling $3,958,795. That is on the order of 36 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $332. Mean per donor is about $11,996. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors at the same pace.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,958,795 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
CONSULTANT and STOCKBROKER stay separate
CONSULTANT, STOCKBROKER, CEO, and self/consultant are separate keys. Combining them with FINANCIAL CONSULTANT would invent an advice-occupation recode. This page stays at $3,958,795 for the two-word function only.
Occupation pages show titles stored beside FINANCIAL CONSULTANT as typed. A donor who listed a bank or wirehouse name is not in these 330 people unless the receipt grouped to FINANCIAL CONSULTANT.
Donor table without client inference
The FINANCIAL CONSULTANT donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a book of business, a Series license, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a FINRA roster.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the function string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
