What svp donors give in federal races

Donors who listed SVP as occupation account for $6,272,111 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. That sum sits on 20,143 contribution lines tied to 1,066 donor records. SVP is three letters in the occupation field, stored separately from SENIOR VP, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and SR. VICE PRESIDENT if those did not normalize to SVP. In compact form the occupation total is $6.3 million.

Key figures

  • SVP itemizations sum to $6,272,111 from 20,143 contributions and 1,066 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $311 per contribution and about $5,884 per donor record.
  • SENIOR VP and SR. VICE PRESIDENT are separate FEC occupation buckets.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

High line volume under a $6.3 million headline

$6,272,111 is the occupation-level dollar total. 20,143 is the itemization count. 1,066 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $311 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,884 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 19 itemizations per donor record. Twenty thousand-plus lines from 1,066 donor records is a high-frequency senior-rank pattern rather than a thin stack of large checks.

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 $311 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

The repeat rate is high relative to dual-title CEO keys with similar dollars. This bucket is heavier on line count than on dollars per line.

SVP is not SENIOR VP and not an org-chart list

Donors who write the credential abbreviation land here; donors who spell senior vice president land on other pages. Combining SVP and SENIOR VP without showing both source totals would mix keys the FEC file kept apart.

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 SVP after indexing. SENIOR VP, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and SR. VICE PRESIDENT remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to SVP.

What 1,066 donor records can and cannot show

1,066 donor records used SVP on at least one matching itemization. 1,066 donor records used SVP on at least one matching itemization. That is not the number of senior vice presidents in the economy.

A person who listed SVP 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.

Keep employer industry tables on a separate cut

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. An SVP at a bank and an SVP at a retailer share this occupation string if they typed SVP. Adding $6,272,111 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the SVP 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 $6,272,111.

How to cite the SVP key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: SVP itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $6,272,111 on 20,143 contributions from 1,066 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. Cite the numbers as disclosure totals, not as an argument about senior-management political weight.

Treating SVP as three letters in a bulk file

SVP in this extract is $6,272,111 on 20,143 itemizations from 1,066 donor records, or $6.3 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. Three letters are donor-typed text, not a cleaned org-chart rank. 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 $311 per contribution and about $5,884 per donor record, with roughly 19 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. SENIOR VP, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and SR. VICE PRESIDENT remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to SVP. 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 $6,272,111. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals SVP, dollars equal $6,272,111, contributions equal 20,143, donors equal 1,066. 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 ($6.3 million) are the same headline amount as $6,272,111, 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 SVP in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have svp donors given in FEC records?
Itemizations that list SVP sum to $6,272,111 across 20,143 contributions and 1,066 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 SENIOR VP included in the SVP total?
No. SENIOR VP is a separate occupation string. This page covers the SVP key only: $6,272,111, 20,143 contributions, and 1,066 donors. Combining the two without naming both keys 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.
What is the average SVP contribution in this file?
Dividing $6,272,111 by 20,143 itemizations yields about $311 per contribution. Dividing by 1,066 donors yields about $5,884 per donor record. Both are means, not medians. 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 SVP prove the donor is a senior vice president?
No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Private-firm staff and people using the abbreviation loosely can all appear under SVP. Quote 20,143 contributions and 1,066 donor records with the $6,272,111 total. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
