What president & c.e.o. donors give in federal races

A small pool with a larger mean line

$6,552,427 is the occupation-level dollar total. 2,006 is the itemization count. 434 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $3,266 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $15,098 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 5 itemizations per donor record. Two thousand six itemizations from 434 donor records is a low-line, high-dollar pattern: fewer receipts than high-volume professional labels with similar headline dollars.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $3,266 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Dividing dollars by lines yields a larger mean gift than occupation keys that post tens of thousands of receipts. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution.

Ampersands and periods split the title

PRESIDENT & C.E.O. uses an ampersand and periods. PRESIDENT/C.E.O. uses a slash. PRESIDENT AND CEO spells the conjunction. Each exact match is its own occupation key when the index has rows.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals PRESIDENT & C.E.O. after indexing. PRESIDENT/C.E.O., PRESIDENT AND CEO, CEO, and C.E.O. remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PRESIDENT & C.E.O.

What 434 donor records can and cannot show

434 donor records used PRESIDENT & C.E.O. on at least one matching itemization. 434 donor records is a thin census even by FEC occupation standards. Treat it as a count of contributor records that used this exact punctuation, not as a count of sitting presidents and chief executives.

A person who listed PRESIDENT & C.E.O. on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction, not as a lifetime identity field. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

Do not add industry dollars to this title

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. An executive in finance and an executive in manufacturing share this occupation string if they typed PRESIDENT & C.E.O. Adding $6,552,427 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the PRESIDENT & C.E.O. occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $6,552,427.

How to cite the ampersand C.E.O. key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: PRESIDENT & C.E.O. itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $6,552,427 on 2,006 contributions from 434 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. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. This file is a guide-only page for the ampersand spelling; it does not replace other president-CEO occupation hubs.

Why this spelling cannot be stretched into an executive census

PRESIDENT & C.E.O. in this extract is $6,552,427 on 2,006 itemizations from 434 donor records, or $6.6 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; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact. Ampersand-and-period punctuation is doing real work here. Drop it and you are reading a different occupation page with different dollars. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a verified roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $3,266 per contribution and about $15,098 per donor record, with roughly 5 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. PRESIDENT/C.E.O., PRESIDENT AND CEO, CEO, and C.E.O. remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PRESIDENT & C.E.O. 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 $6,552,427. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PRESIDENT & C.E.O., dollars equal $6,552,427, contributions equal 2,006, donors equal 434. 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. Compact millions ($6.6 million) are the same headline amount as $6,552,427, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of PRESIDENT & C.E.O. in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have president & c.e.o. donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list PRESIDENT & C.E.O. sum to $6,552,427 across 2,006 contributions and 434 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Is this the same as PRESIDENT/C.E.O.?

No. Slash and ampersand spellings are separate keys. This page covers PRESIDENT & C.E.O. only: $6,552,427, 2,006 contributions, and 434 donors. Mixing keys without naming each source total changes the unit. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Why so few contributions relative to the dollars?

The line count is 2,006 against $6,552,427, so mean dollars per contribution are about $3,266. That is a concentrated pattern, not an error. The 434 donor records still produced about 5 lines each. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Does listing PRESIDENT & C.E.O. prove the donor ran a public company?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Private-company chiefs and nonprofit heads can all appear. Quote 2,006 contributions and 434 donor records with the $6,552,427 total. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
