SALESMAN money in federal elections

A title in the employer field, not a retail-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. SALESMAN is one word as stored. The $3,745,923 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not SALES, not SALESPERSON, and not a named employer such as ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR.

SALES, SALESPERSON, STOCKBROKER, and CEO sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into SALESMAN. The FEC field records what was typed, not a BLS occupation.

214 donors and 11,034 lines

214 unique donors produced 11,034 SALESMAN contribution lines totaling $3,745,923. That is on the order of 52 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $339. Mean per donor is about $17,504. About 52 itemized receipts per donor is the densest title pattern in this slice; mean per donor is about $17,504.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,745,923 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

SALES, STOCKBROKER, and named firms stay separate

SALES, SALESPERSON, STOCKBROKER, and CEO are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with SALESMAN would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $3,745,923 for SALESMAN only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside SALESMAN as typed. A donor who listed a company name is not in these 214 people unless the receipt grouped to SALESMAN.

Donor table without a quota file

The SALESMAN donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a quota, a territory, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a company sales roster.

Repeat names are expected among 11,034 lines from 214 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the stored string.
