Key figures

  • CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER occupation itemizations sum to $10,490,066 from 20,331 contributions and 1,450 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $516 per contribution and about $7,234 per donor record.
  • The spelled-out rank is stored separately from the COO abbreviation unless the extract merged them.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Spelled-out operations rank, mid-range means

$10,490,066, 20,331 itemizations, and 1,450 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $516. Mean dollars per donor record are about $7,234. Repeat giving is about 14 itemizations per donor record.

20,331 lines from 1,450 records is a mid-volume C-suite stack, close in dollars to the spelled-out CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER key but on fewer donor records. The $516 per-line mean is arithmetic, not a typical operations bonus redirected to politics.

The packet has no public-versus-private split, no median gift, and no party field. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER is not the COO abbreviation

The FEC record does not verify that the donor is a sitting operations chief. Nonprofit COOs, private-company operators, and retirees can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled officer vocabulary.

This page cites only $10,490,066, 20,331 contributions, and 1,450 donors. The three-letter COO key, if it exists as a separate occupation page, is not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized it.
