ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR

Mid-volume trades receipts

$6,243,964 is the occupation-level dollar total. 10,697 is the itemization count. 1,053 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $584 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,930 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 10 itemizations per donor record. About ten thousand lines from 1,053 donor records is a mid-volume trades key—more people than concentrated C-suite strings, fewer lines than some union-heavy occupations.

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 $584 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Mean dollars per line sit above high-frequency trades that post tens of thousands of small itemizations. The packet still has no median and no union-versus-owner split.

Self-reported contractor text, not a license list

ELECTRICIAN, ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR are different occupation keys if committees typed them that way. A donor who files ELECTRICIAN in one cycle and ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR in another is split across pages.

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 ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR after indexing. ELECTRICIAN, CONTRACTOR, and GENERAL CONTRACTOR remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR.
