High-repeat design title, a $259 mean

$11,008,458, 42,580 itemizations, and 1,947 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $259. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,654. Repeat giving is about 22 itemizations per donor record.

42,580 lines from 1,947 records is a high-repeat design-title stack. The $259 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical project fee redirected to politics.

The packet has no residential-versus-commercial split, no license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

INTERIOR DESIGNER is not DESIGNER

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a design credential. Graphic designers, architects, and people using a shorter DESIGNER key sit elsewhere unless the extract merged them. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $11,008,458, 42,580 contributions, and 1,947 donors. DESIGNER and ARCHITECT remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
