HOME MAKER as FEC employer text: $9.4 million

A spaced spelling, not HOMEMAKER as one word

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. HOME MAKER is the form committees stored when filers (or treasurers) put a space between the words. The $9,387,787 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a NAICS household-employment category, not household income, and not a party committee.

HOMEMAKER without a space is a different hub. HOUSEWIFE, HOUSE WIFE, HOME MANAGER, and None/Homemaker are other stored strings. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into HOME MAKER. The FEC field records what was typed, not a standardized Census status.

851 donors and 23,363 lines

851 unique donors produced 23,363 HOME MAKER contribution lines totaling $9,387,787. That is on the order of 27 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count sits between thinner investor rows and larger homemaker-one-word clusters in this ranking. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $9,387,787 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 23,363 lines are expected.

Household-label siblings stay separate

HOMEMAKER, HOUSEWIFE, None/Homemaker, and NOT EMPLOYED are separate keys. Combining them with HOME MAKER would invent a household-status recode. This page stays at $9,387,787 for the spaced two-word spelling only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside HOME MAKER as typed. RETIRED remains a different status string. A donor who listed a spouse’s firm name is not in these 851 people unless the receipt grouped to HOME MAKER.

Donor table without household inference

The HOME MAKER donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach household wealth, a spouse’s occupation, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a Census household roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the spaced spelling. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

HOMEMAKER as one word and HOUSEWIFE stay out

HOME MAKER with a space is not HOMEMAKER as one word, not HOUSEWIFE, not HOUSE WIFE, and not None/Homemaker. Those strings sit on other keys. The $9,387,787 total, 23,363 contribution lines, and 851 donors describe this spaced spelling only. RETIRED and NOT EMPLOYED remain other status keys.

Unitemized gifts, state races, party committees, and Census household tables stay outside the $9,387,787. Occupation pages show titles beside HOME MAKER. People who still type the spaced form remain in the 851. The FEC field is not a Census household roster. Repeat names among 23,363 lines are expected.

Open the HOME MAKER donor table for disclosed names and committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution, not a household-wealth or spouse-occupation inference. Cite $9,387,787, 23,363 contributions, and 851 donors from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Labels are FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Do not add HOMEMAKER without a space to this key.

Researchers who want a household-status recode must list HOMEMAKER as one word, HOUSEWIFE, None/Homemaker, and NOT EMPLOYED as separate additions. The $9,387,787 figure does not absorb those rows. It stays on HOME MAKER as 851 donors and 23,363 lines. Follow recipient committees on the HOME MAKER donor table. Party share is not computed on the industry headline. The space between HOME and MAKER is stored form text. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, self-reported employer text, not a Census household table.
