What general-partner occupation donors give in federal races

Compact partnership rank, four-figure mean gift

$9,486,497, 4,469 itemizations, and 569 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $2,123. Mean dollars per donor record are about $16,672. Repeat giving is about 8 itemizations per donor record.

4,469 lines from 569 records is a concentrated partnership-rank stack: few donor records, large arithmetic means. The per-donor mean of about $16,672 is not a typical carry check redirected to politics.

The packet has no fund-size field, no GP-versus-LP split, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can dominate the average.

GENERAL PARTNER is not PARTNER

The FEC record does not verify a partnership agreement. Law-firm partners, PE GPs, and people using PARTNER alone sit on other keys unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $9,486,497, 4,469 contributions, and 569 donors. PARTNER, MANAGING PARTNER, and PRIVATE EQUITY remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and overlapping partner titles

569 donor records used GENERAL PARTNER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed GENERAL PARTNER on some gifts and PARTNER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

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

Industry pages group employers

Industry pages group employers. GENERAL PARTNER as occupation is the donor’s rank text, not the employer-industry code. Adding $9,486,497 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the GENERAL PARTNER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the phrase next to PARTNER and other finance ranks.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals GENERAL PARTNER, dollars equal $9,486,497, contributions equal 4,469, donors equal 569, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the concentrated means are visible next to the headline dollars.

Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact beyond $9,486,497, 4,469 contributions, and 569 donors. The shorter PARTNER key stays on its own page unless the extract merged it into GENERAL PARTNER.

Reading GENERAL PARTNER next to PARTNER

GENERAL PARTNER in this extract is $9,486,497 on 4,469 itemizations from 569 donor records, or $9.5 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. People who type partner, managing partner, or private equity may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact GENERAL PARTNER key is in $9,486,497.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $2,123 per contribution and about $16,672 per donor record, with roughly 8 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining GENERAL PARTNER with PARTNER without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 569 donor records on 4,469 lines is a concentrated rank pool, not a partnership census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $9,486,497. A person who listed GENERAL PARTNER on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals GENERAL PARTNER, dollars equal $9,486,497, contributions equal 4,469, donors equal 569. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live GENERAL PARTNER occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($9.5 million) are the same headline amount as $9,486,497, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 4,469 contributions and 569 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the concentrated partnership rank separately from PARTNER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a partnership agreement. A citation that stays inside the packet names GENERAL PARTNER, $9,486,497, 4,469, and 569 together.
