What PRESIDENT & CEO donors give in federal races

Donors who entered PRESIDENT & CEO as occupation account for $40,881,332 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 41,077 contributions from 4,613 donor records. The ampersand spelling is stored separately from PRESIDENT/CEO, PRESIDENT/C.E.O., CHAIRMAN & CEO, and CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. In compact form the occupation total is $40.9 million.

Key figures

  • PRESIDENT & CEO itemizations sum to $40,881,332 from 41,077 contributions and 4,613 donors.
  • Slash and period variants of the dual title are separate FEC occupation keys.
  • Mean amounts are about $995 per contribution and about $8,862 per donor record.
  • The ampersand title is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified officer registry.

Ampersand title, mid-range means

$40,881,332 is the occupation-level dollar total. 41,077 is the itemization count. 4,613 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $995. Mean dollars per donor record is about $8,862. Repeat giving is about 9 itemizations per donor record.

Compared with the slash-and-periods PRESIDENT/C.E.O. key, this ampersand bucket has far more lines and a much lower mean per line. The two strings look similar in English and are different rows in the FEC occupation column.

These means are arithmetic only. The packet has no median and no gift-size histogram.

Why PRESIDENT & CEO is not PRESIDENT/CEO

Filers type punctuation as they please. An ampersand, a slash, and periods each produce a separate occupation key when the bulk extract keeps them apart. This overlay covers PRESIDENT & CEO only: $40,881,332, 41,077 contributions, and 4,613 donors.

CEO, PRESIDENT, and CHAIRMAN & CEO remain other pages. Combining dual-title spellings into one “president-CEO” cluster would be a homemade rollup. LobbyVault does not publish that cluster here.

Donor records versus sitting executives

4,613 donor records used PRESIDENT & CEO on at least one matching itemization. That is not a headcount of people who legally hold both titles. Suffixes, address changes, and dual spellings split and overlap records in ways this packet cannot subtract.

A person who listed this ampersand title on some gifts and CEO on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is per transaction.

Industry tables do not replace this filter

Industry pages group employers. Dual-title executives in different sectors share this occupation string if they typed PRESIDENT & CEO. Adding occupation dollars to industry dollars double-counts.

Open the PRESIDENT & CEO occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see neighboring executive spellings with their own facts.

Citation language that stays honest

Cite the exact string and the three numbers: PRESIDENT & CEO, $40,881,332, 41,077 contributions, 4,613 donors. Add that occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

The facts do not encode party. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so $40.9 million is itemized activity for this spelling in the loaded extract.

What this page refuses to infer

This file will not treat PRESIDENT & CEO as a political bloc, a public-company census, or a substitute for CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. It restates packet facts. Recipient-side questions belong on candidate and committee pages.

PRESIDENT & CEO in this extract is $40,881,332 on 41,077 itemizations from 4,613 donor records, or $40.9 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. An assistant who types an ampersand and an assistant who types a slash create two public-record keys. LobbyVault indexes both; this file quotes only the ampersand. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a licensing roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $995 per contribution and about $8,862 per donor record, with roughly 9 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as PRESIDENT/CEO, PRESIDENT/C.E.O., CEO, and CHAIRMAN & CEO remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to PRESIDENT & CEO. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 4,613 donor records on 41,077 lines is a thicker pool than PRESIDENT/C.E.O.’s 591 records, which is why the mean line here is about $995 rather than five figures.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $40,881,332. A person who listed PRESIDENT & CEO on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines, because occupation is stored per transaction. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PRESIDENT & CEO, dollars equal $40,881,332, contributions equal 41,077, donors equal 4,613. 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 ($40.9 million) are the same headline amount as $40,881,332, 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 whether PRESIDENT & CEO is a high-volume stack, a concentrated pool, or a high-repeat status label. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.
