MOTHER

A small household-status pool under $4.7M

$4,686,054 is the occupation-level dollar total. 13,683 is the itemization count. 423 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $342 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $11,078 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 32 itemizations per donor record.

423 donor records is a narrow pool compared with clinical titles near the same dollar band. The per-donor mean of about $11,078 sits well above typical support-staff keys. Thirty-two itemizations per donor record is high repeat on a small record count. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. MOTHER is donor-supplied status text that committees accepted as occupation. It is not a NAICS industry and not a verified employment status.

Mother is not mom and not homemaker

MOM, 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 MOTHER. This page cites only $4,686,054, 13,683 contributions, and 423 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 MOTHER after indexing. The neighboring MOM key in this harvest has a different line count and donor count; do not add the two.

Questions

How much have mother donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list MOTHER as occupation sum to $4,686,054, or $4.7M, across 13,683 contributions and 423 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. MOTHER is 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 MOM included in the MOTHER total?

No. MOM is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers MOTHER only: $4,686,054, 13,683 contributions, and 423 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.

Does listing MOTHER mean the donor is unemployed?

The FEC record does not say. MOTHER is self-reported occupation text. Treat the 423 donor records as a count of matching text, not an employment-status roster. The indexed sum remains $4,686,054. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Where do I review individual MOTHER occupation gifts?

The MOTHER occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $4,686,054. 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.
