Fewer lines, larger mean gift

$17,194,878 is the occupation-level dollar total. 18,694 is the itemization count. 1,619 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $920. Mean dollars per donor record are about $10,621. Repeat giving is about 12 itemizations per donor record.

1,619 donor records against 18,694 lines is a smaller pool than clinical titles with similar headline dollars. The per-line mean of about $920 is several times larger than high-volume workplace titles in this harvest band.

These means are not typical-check estimates and not a measure of assets under management allocated to politics. The packet has no AUM field and no gift-size distribution.

INVESTMENT ADVISOR is not FINANCIAL ADVISOR

FINANCIAL ADVISOR, FINANCIAL ANALYST, INVESTMENT MANAGER, and INVESTMENT BANKER are neighboring occupation keys. This page cites only INVESTMENT ADVISOR: $17,194,878, 18,694 contributions, and 1,619 donors. Those other strings stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized them here.

The FEC does not verify RIA registration, Series licenses, or Form ADV filings. People who advise on investments as a side role and staff at advisory firms can all type INVESTMENT ADVISOR. Occupation is per transaction.
