- MEMBER and MANAGER are separate occupation keys unless normalized here.

Few lines, large mean gift under $5.3M
$5,321,801 is the occupation-level dollar total. 3,718 is the itemization count. 597 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $1,431 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $8,914 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 6 itemizations per donor record.
3,718 lines is a thin schedule compared with assistant and clinical titles near the same dollar band. The per-line mean of about $1,431 is among the larger means in this slice: dollars accumulated in fewer, larger itemizations rather than tens of thousands of small ones. Those means are still arithmetic, not medians.
The packet has no gift-size distribution, no LLC-versus-partnership flag, and no party split. A few very large Schedule A lines can dominate $1,431. Quote 3,718 contributions with the dollars so readers do not treat $5.3M as a mass-donor phenomenon.
Managing member is not member and not manager
MEMBER, MANAGER, MANAGING PARTNER, and LLC MEMBER — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to MANAGING MEMBER. This page cites only $5,321,801, 3,718 contributions, and 597 donors.
FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no Secretary of State cross-check of LLC filings. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals MANAGING MEMBER after indexing. OWNER and PRINCIPAL remain other occupation pages unless they normalized here.
