Spelled-out title versus the three-letter key

$38,104,099, 33,318 itemizations, and 3,454 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $1,144. Mean dollars per donor record is about $11,032. Repeat giving is about 10 itemizations per donor record.

English speakers may treat CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER and CEO as synonyms. The FEC occupation column does not. Combining them without showing both source totals mixes keys. This page cites only the spelled-out facts.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median and no party split.

What the donor count is not

3,454 donor records used CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER on at least one matching itemization. That is not a count of sitting chief executives, public or private. Address variants split records. People who used CEO on other gifts will also appear in that other occupation total for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. The FEC record does not verify corporate form or whether the title is current.
