What treasurer-occupation donors give in federal races

Officer title, mid-range means

$7,622,362, 19,354 itemizations, and 1,160 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $394. Mean dollars per donor record are about $6,571. Repeat giving is about 17 itemizations per donor record.

19,354 lines from 1,160 records is a mid-volume officer-title stack. The $394 per-line mean sits near other spelled-out finance ranks and below concentrated partner titles. The packet has no public-versus-private split and no median gift.

1,160 donor records on 19,354 lines is a mid-volume officer pool: about 17 itemizations per record. The $394 per-line mean sits between CONTROLLER’s $194 and BOARD MEMBER’s $1,023. The packet has no municipal-versus-corporate split, no CPA field, and no party flag, so $7,622,362 cannot be read as a treasurer-of-record census.

TREASURER is not CFO and not CONTROLLER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor is a sitting finance officer. Nonprofit treasurers, PTA treasurers, corporate officers, and retirees can all type TREASURER. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled officer vocabulary.

This page cites only $7,622,362, 19,354 contributions, and 1,160 donors. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CONTROLLER, and BOOKKEEPER remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.

Donor records and dual finance titles

1,160 donor records used TREASURER on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed TREASURER on some gifts and CFO on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or entity type from the officer word. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $7,622,362.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 19,354 lines are occupation-side totals only. Refunds, redesignations, and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Do not treat $7,622,362 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group employers, not this office

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A city treasurer and a corporate treasurer share this occupation string if they typed TREASURER. Adding $7,622,362 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the TREASURER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the officer word next to CONTROLLER and CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

TREASURER dollars of $7,622,362 sit on 19,354 itemizations from 1,160 donor records. Municipal, nonprofit, and corporate treasurers share the same key if they typed TREASURER. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code and never enter this total.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals TREASURER, dollars equal $7,622,362, contributions equal 19,354, donors equal 1,160, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Quote the three facts together so the mid-range mean is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

Reading TREASURER as a one-word officer key

TREASURER in this extract is $7,622,362 on 19,354 itemizations from 1,160 donor records, or $7.6 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. People who type CFO, FINANCE DIRECTOR, or CONTROLLER may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact TREASURER key is in $7,622,362.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $394 per contribution and about $6,571 per donor record, with roughly 17 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. 1,160 donor records on 19,354 lines is a mid-volume officer-title pool, not a census of municipal treasurers.

Industry pages should not be added to $7,622,362. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals TREASURER, dollars equal $7,622,362, contributions equal 19,354, donors equal 1,160.

TREASURER, CONTROLLER, and CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only TREASURER: $7,622,362, 19,354 contributions, 1,160 donors. Nonprofit and PTA treasurers sit on the same key as corporate treasurers if they typed TREASURER. That mix is a feature of free-text occupation, not a bug in the index.
