Key figures

Three letters as stored, not a guessed expansion
FEC employer text is whatever filers typed. CME is those three letters as grouped. The $10,607,839 total is itemized individual gifts with that grouping. This page does not assert that every row is a particular exchange holding company, a medical credential, or another expansion. The public record stores the abbreviation.
People who typed a longer legal name, BANKER, TRADER, or SELF-EMPLOYED sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into CME. MD is a different two-letter key with its own page.
897 donors and 26,311 lines
897 unique donors produced 26,311 CME contribution lines totaling $10,607,839. Receipts per donor run near 29. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a split among possible meanings of the abbreviation.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Unitemized gifts never appear. Named-firm PAC filings are other documents unless an individual receipt itself carries this three-letter string.
