Key figures

  • MANAGEMENT itemizations sum to $30,941,568 from 72,376 contributions and 4,481 donors.
  • MANAGER and GENERAL MANAGER are separate FEC occupation buckets.
  • Mean amounts are about $428 per contribution and about $6,905 per donor record.
  • The department word is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a rank registry.

A vague label with ordinary means

$30,941,568, 72,376 itemizations, and 4,481 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $428. Mean dollars per donor record is about $6,905. Repeat giving is about 16 itemizations per donor record.

The word can mean a function, a department, or a self-description of being “in management.” The FEC occupation column does not split those senses. This overlay does not invent that split.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

Management is not manager

MANAGER, GENERAL MANAGER, and EXECUTIVE are neighboring keys. Donors who write the collective noun land here. Combining MANAGEMENT and MANAGER without showing both source totals mixes buckets the bulk file kept apart.

This page cites only $30,941,568, 72,376 contributions, and 4,481 donors. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary of ranks.
