EXEC

Total Donated

$6,792,051

Contributions

13,645

Unique Donors

676

Donors who listed EXEC as occupation account for $6,792,051 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. That sum sits on 13,645 contribution lines tied to 676 donor records. EXEC is almost certainly a truncated or informal stand-in for executive—not a regulated job code. FEC.gov still stores it as a distinct occupation string because committees filed it that way. In compact form the occupation total is $6.8 million.

Key figures

  • EXEC itemizations sum to $6,792,051 from 13,645 contributions and 676 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $498 per contribution and about $10,047 per donor record.
  • EXEC is an exact self-reported string, not a merged C-suite total.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

A short label with a large indexed sum

$6,792,051 is the occupation-level dollar total. 13,645 is the itemization count. 676 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $498 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $10,047 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 20 itemizations per donor record. Six hundred seventy-six donor records against $6.8 million is a concentrated pool compared with occupations that post similar dollars across two thousand people.

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 $498 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Truncation is common when a form field, import script, or vendor software clips EXECUTIVE or EXEC. VICE PRESIDENT. Some donors may have typed EXEC on purpose. The bulk file does not say which.

Self-reporting and messy executive titles

Executive occupations splinter across dozens of strings: CEO, PRESIDENT, EVP, CHAIRMAN, OWNER, EXEC. Each has its own occupation page when the index finds enough rows. Merging EXEC with EXECUTIVE or CEO would mix keys the FEC published separately.

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 EXEC after indexing. EXECUTIVE, CEO, and C.E.O. remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to EXEC.

Questions

How much federal money is tagged EXEC as occupation?
Itemizations that list EXEC sum to $6,792,051 across 13,645 contributions and 676 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
Does EXEC mean the same as executive or CEO?
Not in the index. Occupation keys are exact strings. EXEC, EXECUTIVE, and CEO are separate pages. This key is $6,792,051 from 13,645 contributions and 676 donors. Combining them would invent a total the packet does not provide. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.
Why is the donor count only 676?
That is the distinct-donor tally inside this exact label. Mean dollars per donor record are about $10,047. The 676 figure is not a count of all executives who donate. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.
Where can I verify the filings?
Start on the EXEC occupation page, then open the committee report on FEC.gov. Occupation remains self-reported on Form 3/3X. The indexed sum is $6,792,051 on 13,645 lines. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
