What home maker donors give in federal races

A two-word household title under $4.8M

$4,796,498 is the occupation-level dollar total. 14,526 is the itemization count. 714 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $330 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $6,718 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 20 itemizations per donor record.

714 donor records is a smaller pool than many clinical titles near the same dollar band. The per-donor mean of about $6,718 sits above typical support-staff keys. Twenty itemizations per donor record is moderate-to-high repeat. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. HOME MAKER is household-status text that committees accepted as occupation. It is not a NAICS industry and not a verified employment status.

Home maker is not homemaker and not housewife

HOMEMAKER, HOUSEWIFE, MOTHER, and MOM — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to HOME MAKER. This page cites only $4,796,498, 14,526 contributions, and 714 donors. The space in HOME MAKER is part of the exact string.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals HOME MAKER after indexing.

What 714 donor records can and cannot show

714 donor records used HOME MAKER on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of people who work in the home. Retired donors, people who used the phrase as a default when not employed outside the home, and forms filled with a spouse’s status can appear. Address variants can split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed HOME MAKER on some gifts and HOMEMAKER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 20-line repeat rate is a property of matching text.

Do not fold household titles into industry money

Industry pages group employer-side categories. HOME MAKER is occupation text, not an industry. Adding $4,796,498 to any industry total mixes household-status strings with employer categories. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the HOME MAKER occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to HOMEMAKER, MOTHER, and MOM. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $4,796,498.

How to cite HOME MAKER

A usable public-record citation names the exact string, including the space: HOME MAKER itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $4,796,498 on 14,526 contributions from 714 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. Compact millions ($4.8M) are the same headline amount as $4,796,498, rounded to one decimal place.

HOME MAKER as spaced household text

HOME MAKER in this extract is $4,796,498 on 14,526 itemizations from 714 donor records, or $4.8M 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.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $330 per contribution and about $6,718 per donor record, with roughly 20 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. HOMEMAKER, HOUSEWIFE, MOTHER, and MOM remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to HOME MAKER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $4,796,498. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals HOME MAKER, dollars equal $4,796,498, contributions equal 14,526, donors equal 714. 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. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of HOME MAKER. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions
