MANAGING DIRECTOR occupation in FEC itemizations

Fewer lines than DIRECTOR, higher dollars per line

96,877 itemizations is a thinner stack than the DIRECTOR key. Against $67,312,479, the mean is about $695 per contribution. Against 6,469 donors, the mean is about $10,405 per donor record. About 15 contributions per donor is the repeat rate.

That shape is more dollar-heavy than DIRECTOR’s roughly $268 mean line in the same harvest. The difference is a filing-pattern contrast between two strings, not a ranking of job prestige.

MD as an abbreviation may live in another key if it did not normalize to MANAGING DIRECTOR. This page is the spelled-out match only.

A title that crosses sectors

Banks, private-equity firms, consulting firms, and some law firms use managing director for senior producers. The occupation box does not encode sector, bonus, or partnership status. Best-efforts collection records the donor’s words.

A managing director who wrote BANKER, FINANCE, or PARTNER on other gifts appears in those occupation totals for those lines. Occupation is per itemization.

Donor records as a modest pool

6,469 is a contributor-record count, not a headcount of managing directors in U.S. finance. Address variants can split people. Shared firm names in employer fields can make rows look clustered without proving a joint plan. This overlay does not cluster by employer.

Industry pages group employer categories and will not equal $67,312,479. Adding occupation and industry dollars double-counts. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $67.3 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Using the hub

Cite $67,312,479, 96,877 contributions, and 6,469 donors. Open the MANAGING DIRECTOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to compare DIRECTOR, PARTNER, FINANCE, and BANKER as separate keys.

Do not assign party from the title. Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are omitted. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $67.3 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

Limits

Harvested facts have no cycle year. Live filters may change displayed sums. These three numbers do not verify employment at a specific firm and do not measure securities-industry PAC activity.

Researchers comparing occupation keys should keep MANAGING DIRECTOR on its own line with its own dollar, contribution, and donor facts. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring strings. Industry pages remain an employer-side cut and should not be added to this occupation total. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $67.3 million is itemized activity for this string in the loaded extract. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $67.3 million. That compact figure is the same headline amount as the full dollar total on this page, rounded to one decimal place in millions.

MANAGING DIRECTOR across finance, consulting, and law

MANAGING DIRECTOR is $67.3 million on 96,877 itemizations from 6,469 donor records. Mean line size is about $695 and mean dollars per donor record are about $10,405, with about 15 itemizations per donor. DIRECTOR without the first word is a larger, lower-mean key and is excluded. MD as an abbreviation is included only if it normalized to MANAGING DIRECTOR.

Banks, consulting firms, and some law firms use the title. Sector is not in the occupation box. BANKER, FINANCE, and PARTNER remain separate. 6,469 is not a headcount of U.S. managing directors. Industry pages will not equal $67,312,479. Cite the three facts as an exact-string total on itemized receipts from FEC.gov bulk data. MANAGING DIRECTOR is a senior producer title in more than one sector. Six thousand four hundred sixty-nine donor records and 96,877 itemizations produced $67.3 million. DIRECTOR without the modifier is the larger, lower-mean sibling. BANKER and FINANCE sit nearby. Sector is not in the occupation box. Exact-string citation keeps those titles from collapsing into a fake finance super-total.
