ADMINISTRATION

A vague noun under $5.0M

$5,029,336 is the occupation-level dollar total. 25,959 is the itemization count. 1,039 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $194 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $4,841 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 25 itemizations per donor record.

25,959 lines from 1,039 records is a mid-to-high frequency pattern. The per-line mean of about $194 sits between small-check support titles and larger professional means in this harvest band. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no school-versus-hospital flag, and no party split. ADMINISTRATION can describe school administration, hospital administration, or a catch-all office role. The occupation column does not say which.

Administration is not administrator

ADMINISTRATOR, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, and SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to ADMINISTRATION. This page cites only $5,029,336, 25,959 contributions, and 1,039 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of administrative grades. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals ADMINISTRATION after indexing.

Questions

How much have administration donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list ADMINISTRATION sum to $5,029,336, or $5.0M, across 25,959 contributions and 1,039 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Are administrators included in ADMINISTRATION?

Only if they typed ADMINISTRATION. ADMINISTRATOR is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers ADMINISTRATION: $5,029,336, 25,959 contributions, and 1,039 donors. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

What kind of administration is this?

The FEC record does not say. ADMINISTRATION is one-word free text that can describe many workplaces. Treat the 1,039 donor records as a count of matching text, not a job-classification roster. The indexed sum remains $5,029,336. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts never enter this total.

Where do I review individual administration gifts?

The ADMINISTRATION occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $5,029,336. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
