Key figures

  • AGENT occupation itemizations sum to $11,103,127 from 60,227 contributions and 2,185 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $184 per contribution and about $5,082 per donor record.

  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

High line count on an underspecified word

$11,103,127, 60,227 itemizations, and 2,185 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $184. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,082. Repeat giving is about 28 itemizations per donor record.

60,227 lines from 2,185 records is a high-repeat stack for a one-word title. The $184 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical commission share allocated to politics.

The packet has no license type, no industry of agency, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

AGENT is not REAL ESTATE AGENT

The FEC record does not verify what the donor agents. Insurance, real estate, talent, sports, and travel uses of the word can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $11,103,127, 60,227 contributions, and 2,185 donors. REAL ESTATE AGENT, INSURANCE AGENT, and BROKER remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
