What supervisor donors give in federal races

A generic rank title under $5.2M

$5,180,837 is the occupation-level dollar total. 36,830 is the itemization count. 1,274 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $141 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $4,066 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 29 itemizations per donor record.

36,830 lines from 1,274 records is a high-frequency pattern for a one-word workplace title. The per-line mean of about $141 is modest: dollars accumulated in many schedules rather than a few large checks. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no industry-of-supervision flag, and no party split. SUPERVISOR can describe a factory floor, a call center, a clinic, or a public agency. The occupation column does not say which.

Supervisor is not manager and not foreman

MANAGER, FOREMAN, and SHIFT SUPERVISOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to SUPERVISOR. This page cites only $5,180,837, 36,830 contributions, and 1,274 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of supervisory grades. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals SUPERVISOR after indexing. PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR and OFFICE SUPERVISOR remain other pages unless they normalized here.

What 1,274 donor records cannot show

1,274 donor records used SUPERVISOR on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of working supervisors. Retired staff, people who abbreviated a longer title to SUPERVISOR, and forms filled with a spouse’s job can appear. Address variants can split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed SUPERVISOR on some gifts and MANAGER on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 29-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,274 unique people each gave 29 times.

Do not add SUPERVISOR to industry money

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A warehouse supervisor and a nursing supervisor share this occupation string if they typed SUPERVISOR. Adding $5,180,837 to any industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the SUPERVISOR occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to MANAGER and FOREMAN. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $5,180,837.

How to cite SUPERVISOR on FEC schedules

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: SUPERVISOR itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $5,180,837 on 36,830 contributions from 1,274 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money and that SUPERVISOR is one-word free text. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party or workplace. Recipient committees are a different join. Compact millions ($5.2M) are the same headline amount as $5,180,837, rounded to one decimal place.

SUPERVISOR as undifferentiated rank text

SUPERVISOR in this extract is $5,180,837 on 36,830 itemizations from 1,274 donor records, or $5.2M 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.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $141 per contribution and about $4,066 per donor record, with roughly 29 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. MANAGER and FOREMAN remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to SUPERVISOR. 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 $5,180,837. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals SUPERVISOR, dollars equal $5,180,837, contributions equal 36,830, donors equal 1,274. 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. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the high-frequency shape of SUPERVISOR. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have supervisor donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list SUPERVISOR sum to $5,180,837, or $5.2M, across 36,830 contributions and 1,274 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.

Are managers included in the SUPERVISOR total?

Only if they typed SUPERVISOR. MANAGER is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers SUPERVISOR: $5,180,837, 36,830 contributions, and 1,274 donors. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

What kind of supervisor is this?

The FEC record does not say. SUPERVISOR is one-word free text that can describe many workplaces. Treat the 1,274 donor records as a count of matching text, not a job-classification roster. The indexed sum remains $5,180,837. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts never enter this total.

Where do I review individual supervisor gifts?

The SUPERVISOR occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $5,180,837. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
