Key figures

  • EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT itemizations sum to $5,504,631 ($5.5M) from 29,742 contributions and 1,374 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $185 per contribution and about $4,006 per donor record.
  • ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT is a separate occupation key and is excluded from this sum.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

Twenty-nine thousand lines under a $5.5M cap

$5,504,631 is the occupation-level dollar total. 29,742 is the itemization count. 1,374 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $185 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $4,006 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 22 itemizations per donor record.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. A few large Schedule A lines can lift $185 while most receipts stay smaller, or the reverse. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no election-cycle series. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Compared with C-suite strings in the same harvest band, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT is a high-frequency support title: more lines than many officer keys, with a modest mean check. Frequency and dollar size are different dimensions; this bucket is heavier on itemization count than on dollars per line.

Executive assistant is not administrative assistant

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT is a neighboring occupation string with its own facts. This page covers EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT only: $5,504,631, 29,742 contributions, and 1,374 donors. Mixing the two titles would invent a combined assistant total the packet does not contain.

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 HR-grade check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT after indexing. EA, EXEC ASST, and PERSONAL ASSISTANT remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them here.
