Key figures

  • ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT itemizations sum to $5,091,998 ($5.1M) from 60,491 contributions and 1,300 donors.
  • Repeat itemizing is about 47 contributions per donor record; mean line size is about $84.
  • EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT is a separate occupation key unless normalized here.
  • Occupation is donor-supplied Form 3/3X text, not an HR roster.

Sixty thousand lines, small mean check

$5,091,998 is the occupation-level dollar total. 60,491 is the itemization count. 1,300 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $84. Mean dollars per donor record are about $3,917. Repeat giving is about 47 itemizations per donor record.

60,491 lines from 1,300 records is a high-repeat pattern. The per-line mean of about $84 is among the smaller means in this harvest band, so the contribution count is the number that explains how $5.1M accumulated. Recurring small gifts can raise the line count without raising the mean.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no public-versus-private split, and no party series. A few large lines can still sit inside a low average.

Administrative assistant is not executive assistant

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SECRETARY, and ADMIN ASSISTANT — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. This page cites only $5,091,998, 60,491 contributions, and 1,300 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 HR-grade check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT after indexing. AA and ADMIN remain other occupation pages unless they normalized here.
