What INSURANCE donors give in federal races

Generic sector word, mid-width pool

$16,006,547 is the occupation-level dollar total. 46,849 is the itemization count. 3,409 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $342. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,695. Repeat giving is about 14 itemizations per donor record.

3,409 donor records is a mid-width pool. The per-line mean of about $342 sits with other trade-adjacent strings that mix agents, brokers, underwriters, and office staff who all typed the same sector word.

The packet does not say whether the donor sold policies, underwrote risk, or worked in an insurance office. It only supplies the three INSURANCE facts.

INSURANCE is not broker and not agent

INSURANCE BROKER and INSURANCE AGENT are neighboring occupation keys in this harvest. This page cites only INSURANCE: $16,006,547, 46,849 contributions, and 3,409 donors. Those other strings stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized them to INSURANCE.

Best-efforts collection records the donor’s word. Someone who listed insurance salesperson, insurance, or insurance company as a shorthand may all land here if the extract stored INSURANCE. The FEC does not recode that noun into a standard occupational classification.

What the dollars do not measure

$16,006,547 is not an insurance-industry PAC total and not premium volume. Industry pages group employers. Occupation INSURANCE will not equal an insurance industry page dollar for dollar.

Party is not in the occupation column. Open the INSURANCE occupation page for recipient rows rather than reading bloc preference from a sector word. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $16.0 million.

Occupation versus industry for a sector noun

A donor who listed INSURANCE on some gifts and INSURANCE BROKER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. Adding those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Use the occupations index to see neighboring insurance titles as separate keys. Use industry pages for employer-side cuts.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (insurance executive, retired insurance) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to INSURANCE. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $16,006,547.

3,409 is a contributor-record count, not a census of carriers. Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault from FEC bulk data.

Sector-word occupation in the bulk extract

INSURANCE in this extract is $16,006,547 on 46,849 itemizations from 3,409 donor records. About 14 itemizations per donor record is a moderate repeat rate. Mean line size is about $342; mean dollars per donor record are about $4,695. INSURANCE BROKER and INSURANCE AGENT remain other hubs.

Industry pages should not be added to $16,006,547. The sector noun is not a NAICS code and not a producer-license roster. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals INSURANCE, dollars equal $16,006,547, contributions equal 46,849, donors equal 3,409. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.

3,409 donor records is a mid-width pool that can mix agents, brokers, underwriters, and office staff who all typed the same sector word. Insurance executive and retired insurance create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to INSURANCE. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $16,006,547.

Keep INSURANCE on its own line as a sector noun used as occupation text. Compact millions ($16.0 million) are the same headline amount as $16,006,547, rounded to one decimal place. 3,409 is a contributor-record count, not a census of carriers. Quote occupation equals INSURANCE, then $16,006,547, 46,849 contributions, and 3,409 donors. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring insurance titles.

Sector noun INSURANCE mixes sales, underwriting, and office staff who typed the same word. That mix is inside $16,006,547, 46,849 contributions, and 3,409 donors. INSURANCE BROKER and INSURANCE AGENT are other keys. This is not premium volume. Mean line size of about $342 is an arithmetic mean. Cite the exact string.

Premium volume is not in the packet. 3,409 donor records is not a carrier census. Restate the citation as occupation equals INSURANCE, dollars equal $16,006,547, contributions equal 46,849, donors equal 3,409.
