US House of Representatives
Filers who listed US House of Representatives as employer or occupation on federal itemized receipts account for $4.3M ($4,296,168) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 8,161 contributions and 349 donors. The string is chamber text as typed—staff, members, or others using that employer line—not a NAICS public-administration code and not a House institutional account.
Key figures
- US House of Representatives as FEC employer text totals $4.3M ($4,296,168) from 349 donors.
- 8,161 contribution lines sit under that chamber string.
- US SENATE and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or House PAC total.
Chamber employer text, not House appropriations
Three hundred forty-nine unique donors produced 8,161 contributions totaling $4,296,168. About 23 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $526 describe the arithmetic on the packet. Official House funds, the Members’ Representational Allowance, and the House itself are not the payor in this rollup. FEC individual itemizations record what the contributor listed as employer. These rows are the self-reported US House of Representatives string plus itemized amounts.
Top employer matches US House of Representatives. “U.S. House,” “House of Representatives,” and office-of-representative strings can exist as other keys. They are not inside $4,296,168 unless they matched this exact label. LobbyVault does not recode punctuation or “U.S.” versus “US” into one chamber total.
Who can appear among 349 donors
Staff, members listing the chamber as employer, spouses using the same shorthand, and former staff who still write the old employer can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current payroll. Unique-donor count is matching text, not a headcount of 435 voting members or of personal-office staff.
Occupation fields such as legislative assistant, representative, or chief of staff are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the US House of Representatives industry key. Mean per donor is about $12,310 from $4,296,168 divided by 349 people.

Questions
- How much have US House of Representatives-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $4,296,168 to the US House of Representatives employer string, from 8,161 contributions and 349 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not House official funds and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the House’s own campaign account?
- No. The $4.3M total is contributor disclosures that listed US House of Representatives as employer or occupation. Official House accounts and the Members’ Representational Allowance are not the payor. The FEC field records what filers typed, not an institutional budget line. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include Senate staff?
- No. US SENATE is a separate grouped string with its own page. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text US House of Representatives. Staff who typed only FEDERAL GOVERNMENT sit in that generic row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed US House of Representatives?
- The rollup counts 349 donors and 8,161 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount of the House. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
