How much have LEHMAN BROTHERS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $8,758,084 to the LEHMAN BROTHERS employer string, from 16,849 contributions and 745 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a successor-firm PAC and not a NAICS securities total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted from that figure.

Is this a current company PAC?

No. The $8,758,084 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to LEHMAN BROTHERS as stored on FEC receipts. Successor-firm PAC filings are other categories. The FEC field is not a current HR roster. Figures here are limited to that FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include Salomon or First Boston employees?

No. SALOMON BROTHERS INC and FIRST BOSTON CORP are separate employer strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text LEHMAN BROTHERS. Staff who typed only BANKER sit in that occupation-style row instead. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

How many unique donors listed LEHMAN BROTHERS?

The rollup counts 745 donors and 16,849 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count — on the order of 23 itemized receipts per donor. This is not a current employee headcount. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

A historic firm name still on itemized receipts

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. LEHMAN BROTHERS is the form committees stored when filers typed that two-word name. The $8,758,084 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a NAICS 5231 brokerage rollup, not Barclays or successor PAC spending, and not underwriting volume.

People who typed LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS, BARCLAYS, INVESTMENT BANKER, or SALOMON BROTHERS INC sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into LEHMAN BROTHERS. Alumni who still type the historic name remain among the 745. The FEC field is not a current employment census.

745 donors and 16,849 lines

745 unique donors produced 16,849 LEHMAN BROTHERS contribution lines totaling $8,758,084. That is on the order of 23 itemized receipts per donor. Unique-donor count sits between thinner GOLDMAN SACHS & COMPANY and larger FIDELITY INVESTMENTS clusters in this dollar band. The packet does not publish a mean gift as its own FEC field.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and successor PAC filings are outside the $8,758,084 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Repeat names among 16,849 lines are expected.
