Donors who listed HOME MAKER as occupation account for $4.8M in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. The exact occupation total is $4,796,498 on 14,526 contribution lines tied to 714 donor records. HOME MAKER is a two-word spelling, not HOMEMAKER, HOUSEWIFE, or MOM.

Key figures

  • HOME MAKER itemizations sum to $4,796,498 ($4.8M) from 14,526 contributions and 714 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $330 per contribution and about $6,718 per donor record.
  • HOMEMAKER, MOTHER, and MOM are separate occupation keys unless normalized here.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified household roster.

A two-word household title under $4.8M

$4,796,498 is the occupation-level dollar total. 14,526 is the itemization count. 714 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $330 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $6,718 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 20 itemizations per donor record.

714 donor records is a smaller pool than many clinical titles near the same dollar band. The per-donor mean of about $6,718 sits above typical support-staff keys. Twenty itemizations per donor record is moderate-to-high repeat. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. HOME MAKER is household-status text that committees accepted as occupation. It is not a NAICS industry and not a verified employment status.

Home maker is not homemaker and not housewife

HOMEMAKER, HOUSEWIFE, MOTHER, and MOM — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to HOME MAKER. This page cites only $4,796,498, 14,526 contributions, and 714 donors. The space in HOME MAKER is part of the exact string.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals HOME MAKER after indexing.

Questions

How much have home maker donors given in FEC records?
Itemizations that list HOME MAKER sum to $4,796,498, or $4.8M, across 14,526 contributions and 714 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 this include HOMEMAKER without a space?
Only if those rows normalized to HOME MAKER. HOMEMAKER is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract merged it here.

Are mother and mom included?
No. MOTHER and MOM are separate occupation strings unless they normalized here. Mixing them would invent a combined household total the packet does not contain. The indexed HOME MAKER sum remains $4,796,498. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.
