What PRODUCER donors give in federal races

One word covering several trades

$20,616,070, 49,502 itemizations, and 2,154 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $416. Mean dollars per donor record is about $9,571. Repeat giving is about 23 itemizations per donor record.

Those means sit above many high-volume professional labels on a per-donor basis. They do not tell you whether the donor makes films, records, crops, or insurance policies. The packet has no employer cross-tab.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Producer is not a NAICS code

Occupation is self-reported free text. INSURANCE AGENT and agricultural or entertainment titles remain other keys unless the bulk extract normalized them to PRODUCER. This page cites only $20,616,070, 49,502 contributions, and 2,154 donors.

The FEC record does not verify a union card, a farm, or a producer license. Industry pages that group entertainment or insurance employers are a different cut.

Donor-record limits

2,154 donor records used PRODUCER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed PRODUCER on some gifts and EXECUTIVE on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

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

Why the donor count belongs in the sentence

2,154 is a smaller donor pool than many $20 million-plus occupation keys in this harvest. Dropping that count makes the money look more widely spread than the file shows. Quote 49,502 contributions and 2,154 donors with the dollars.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Where to read neighboring keys

Open the PRODUCER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see INSURANCE AGENT and entertainment-adjacent titles as separate keys with their own packet facts.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Quote occupation equals PRODUCER, then the three numbers.

Entertainment, agriculture, and insurance under one noun

PRODUCER in this extract is $20,616,070 on 49,502 itemizations from 2,154 donor records, or $20.6 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. Guild directories and farm programs both use producer. FEC occupation uses it as free text. This $20.6 million is the free-text total only. 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 $416 per contribution and about $9,571 per donor record, with roughly 23 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Neighboring strings such as INSURANCE AGENT and entertainment-adjacent titles remain other occupation pages unless the bulk extract normalized them to PRODUCER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 2,154 donor records is a small denominator for a $20 million-plus key. Quote it so the money is not described as a mass entertainment bloc.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $20,616,070. A person who listed PRODUCER 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 PRODUCER, dollars equal $20,616,070, contributions equal 49,502, donors equal 2,154. 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 ($20.6 million) are the same headline amount as $20,616,070, 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 PRODUCER 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.
