ADVISOR

A one-word rank under $5.8 million

$5,786,620 is the occupation-level dollar total. 17,537 is the itemization count. 902 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $330 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $6,415 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 19 itemizations per donor record. Seventeen thousand-plus lines from 902 donor records is a mid-to-high frequency pattern on a coarse job noun.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $330 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

A one-word occupation is a coarse bucket. Investment advisers, political advisers, and generic advisors can all land here—or on longer strings that never join this total.

Advisor, adviser, and senior advisor

ADVISOR versus ADVISER is a spelling split in FEC files. SENIOR ADVISOR is a different occupation key. LobbyVault does not merge those variants.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals ADVISOR after indexing. SENIOR ADVISOR, FINANCIAL ADVISOR, and ADVISER remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to ADVISOR.

Questions

How much have advisor donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list ADVISOR sum to $5,786,620 across 17,537 contributions and 902 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.

Is senior advisor included in this total?

No. SENIOR ADVISOR is a different occupation key. This page covers ADVISOR only: $5,786,620, 17,537 contributions, and 902 donors. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not publish. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Does advisor mean a financial adviser?

Not from the occupation field alone. The same word appears across sectors. FINANCIAL ADVISOR is a different key if it appears as its own string. This page is $5,786,620 from 902 donor records. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.
