What interior-designer occupation donors give in federal races

High-repeat design title, a $259 mean

$11,008,458, 42,580 itemizations, and 1,947 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $259. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,654. Repeat giving is about 22 itemizations per donor record.

42,580 lines from 1,947 records is a high-repeat design-title stack. The $259 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical project fee redirected to politics.

The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split, no license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

INTERIOR DESIGNER is not DESIGNER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a design credential. Graphic designers, architects, and people using a shorter DESIGNER key sit elsewhere unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $11,008,458, 42,580 contributions, and 1,947 donors. DESIGNER and ARCHITECT remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and overlapping design titles

1,947 donor records used INTERIOR DESIGNER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed INTERIOR DESIGNER on some gifts and DESIGNER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the design phrase.

Industry pages group firms, not this phrase

Industry pages group employers. A studio principal and a staff designer share this occupation string if they typed INTERIOR DESIGNER. Adding $11,008,458 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the INTERIOR DESIGNER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the phrase next to other design titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals INTERIOR DESIGNER, dollars equal $11,008,458, contributions equal 42,580, donors equal 1,947, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the high-repeat mean is 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 $11,008,458, 42,580 contributions, and 1,947 donors. The shorter DESIGNER key stays on its own page unless the extract merged it into INTERIOR DESIGNER.

Reading INTERIOR DESIGNER next to shorter design keys

INTERIOR DESIGNER in this extract is $11,008,458 on 42,580 itemizations from 1,947 donor records, or $11.0 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 designer or architect may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact INTERIOR DESIGNER key is in $11,008,458.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $259 per contribution and about $5,654 per donor record, with roughly 22 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining INTERIOR DESIGNER with neighboring design strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,947 donor records on 42,580 lines is a high-repeat title pool, not a credential census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $11,008,458. A person who listed INTERIOR DESIGNER 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 INTERIOR DESIGNER, dollars equal $11,008,458, contributions equal 42,580, donors equal 1,947. 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 INTERIOR DESIGNER occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($11.0 million) are the same headline amount as $11,008,458, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 42,580 contributions and 1,947 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the high-repeat design-title pattern rather than a credential census. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not an NCIDQ roster. A citation that stays inside the packet names INTERIOR DESIGNER, $11,008,458, 42,580, and 1,947 together.
