EXECUTIVE

A generic title joined to 2014

Executive is among the least specific occupation words in FEC files. Filers use it across sectors. This page does not repair that vagueness. It reports the inner join with the 2014 federal cycle: $1,842,561 from 613 itemized gifts and 183 unique donors.

Average contribution is about $3,006; average per donor is about $10,069. Those means sit above many one-word occupation cells with similar donor counts, which is a statement about gift size mix in this cell, not about corporate rank.

The occupation hub’s $87,249,417 lifetime total is the denominator that keeps 2014 in proportion. Without it, $1,842,561 would look like a headline year rather than a 2.1% slice.

Two percent of an $87 million stack

$1,842,561 divided by $87,249,417 is about 2.1%. More than 97% of the Executive grouping therefore lives in other cycles. Presidential years and other midterms share that remainder. This tie cannot list them; the industry hub can.

A lifetime total this large usually means the string appears often, for many years, on itemized individual receipts. Frequency of a word is not the same as a coordinated class of donors.

Questions

How much FEC money is in the Executive 2014 join?

The Executive grouping’s 2014 cell is $1,842,561 in itemized individual contributions, from 613 contributions and 183 donors, based on FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not PAC spending and not the $87,249,417 all-cycle total.

Why is $1.8 million only about 2% of the grouping?

Because the lifetime occupation total is $87,249,417. $1,842,561 is about 2.1% of that stack. Other cycles, including presidential years, hold the rest. Raw dollars and share of lifetime are different facts. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does Executive mean C-suite officers at large companies?

Not necessarily. The bucket is the self-reported occupation string Executive. Filers use it across firm sizes and sectors. The FEC does not verify job titles. The join reports the string match, not a directory of officers. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Are these donations tied to federal contracts?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal obligations are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
