SALESMAN
Filers who listed SALESMAN on federal itemized receipts account for $3.7M ($3,745,923) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 11,034 contributions and 214 donors. SALESMAN is a title written in the employer box, not a NAICS retail-trade total and not a PAC. Receipts per donor are among the highest in this slice.
Key figures
- SALESMAN as FEC employer text totals $3.7M ($3,745,923) from 214 donors.
- 11,034 contribution lines sit under that title-as-employer string.
- SALES, STOCKBROKER, and CEO are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or PAC total.
A title in the employer field, not a retail-sector recode
LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. SALESMAN is one word as stored. The $3,745,923 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not SALES, not SALESPERSON, and not a named employer such as ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR.
SALES, SALESPERSON, STOCKBROKER, and CEO sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into SALESMAN. The FEC field records what was typed, not a BLS occupation.
214 donors and 11,034 lines
214 unique donors produced 11,034 SALESMAN contribution lines totaling $3,745,923. That is on the order of 52 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $339. Mean per donor is about $17,504. About 52 itemized receipts per donor is the densest title pattern in this slice; mean per donor is about $17,504.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,745,923 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Questions
- How much have SALESMAN-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,745,923 to the SALESMAN employer string, from 11,034 contributions and 214 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a PAC and not a NAICS retail-trade total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the same as SALES or SALESPERSON?
- No. SALES and SALESPERSON are separate grouped strings. The $3.7M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to SALESMAN. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
- Does this include STOCKBROKER or CEO filers?
- No. STOCKBROKER and CEO are separate title strings. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text SALESMAN. Staff who typed a company name sit in that firm row instead. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed SALESMAN?
- The rollup counts 214 donors and 11,034 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a BLS sales-occupation headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts are omitted. Coverage is itemized federal receipts only.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
