Key figures
- CO-OWNER occupation itemizations sum to $8,016,015 from 12,041 contributions and 1,376 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $666 per contribution and about $5,826 per donor record.
- The hyphenated label is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified partnership roster.
- Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.
Shared-ownership title, a $666 mean
$8,016,015, 12,041 itemizations, and 1,376 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $666. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,826. Repeat giving is about 9 itemizations per donor record.
12,041 lines from 1,376 records is a mid-volume ownership-title stack. The $666 per-line mean sits between many employee titles and concentrated partner keys. The packet has no equity-share field and no median gift.
1,376 donor records on 12,041 lines is a mid-volume ownership pool. Repeat giving of about 9 itemizations per record matches BOARD MEMBER’s cadence more than BOOKKEEPER’s high-repeat stack. The packet has no equity-percentage field, no entity-type flag, and no party split, so $8,016,015 cannot be read as a partnership-filing census.
CO-OWNER is not OWNER and not PARTNER
The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds legal title to a business. Spouses, franchise operators, and LLC members can all type CO-OWNER. Best-efforts rules do not force a uniform ownership vocabulary.
This page cites only $8,016,015, 12,041 contributions, and 1,376 donors. OWNER, PARTNER, and PARTNER/PRINCIPAL remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.
