MOM

Extreme repeat from 378 donor records

$4,666,261 is the occupation-level dollar total. 39,054 is the itemization count. 378 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $119. Mean dollars per donor record are about $12,345. Repeat giving is about 103 itemizations per donor record.

39,054 lines from 378 records is an unusually high-repeat pattern for this harvest band. The per-line mean of about $119 is modest, so the contribution count — not a handful of large gifts — is what explains how $4.7M accumulated. The per-donor mean of about $12,345 is high because the same records reappear often.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Recurring small gifts can raise a 103-line repeat rate without raising the mean check. Quote all three facts together.

Mom is not mother and not homemaker

MOTHER, HOMEMAKER, HOME MAKER, and HOUSEWIFE — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to MOM. This page cites only $4,666,261, 39,054 contributions, and 378 donors.

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 MOM after indexing. The neighboring MOTHER key in this harvest has fewer lines and more donor records; do not add the two.

Questions

How much have mom donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list MOM as occupation sum to $4,666,261, or $4.7M, across 39,054 contributions and 378 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. MOM is three-letter household-status text, not a job census. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Is MOTHER included in the MOM total?

No. MOTHER is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers MOM only: $4,666,261, 39,054 contributions, and 378 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined household total the packet does not contain. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

Why are there so many MOM contributions from so few donors?

39,054 itemizations from 378 donors implies about 103 contributions per donor record. Repeat itemizing raises the line count. Mean line size is about $119. The packet does not split causes. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Where do I review individual MOM occupation gifts?

The MOM occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $4,666,261. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
