OFFICER

Total Donated

$5,333,585

Contributions

16,607

Unique Donors

1,060

Donors who listed OFFICER as occupation account for $5.3M in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. The exact occupation total is $5,333,585 on 16,607 contribution lines tied to 1,060 donor records. OFFICER is an ambiguous one-word title: corporate officer, military officer, and police officer can all type the same string. Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X.

Key figures

  • OFFICER itemizations sum to $5,333,585 ($5.3M) from 16,607 contributions and 1,060 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $321 per contribution and about $5,032 per donor record.
  • OFFICER is one-word free text; police, military, and corporate uses are not split in the packet.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified roster.

One word covering several roles under $5.3M

$5,333,585 is the occupation-level dollar total. 16,607 is the itemization count. 1,060 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $321 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,032 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 16 itemizations per donor record.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no military-versus-corporate flag. A few large lines can lift $321 while most receipts stay smaller. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

1,060 donor records is a mid-size pool for this harvest band. Sixteen itemizations per donor record is moderate repeat, not the 40-plus pattern seen on some clinical and assistant titles. Quote all three facts so the $5.3M headline is not read as a handful of large gifts or as a mass of tiny ones.

Officer is not police officer and not CEO

POLICE OFFICER, MILITARY OFFICER, CORPORATE OFFICER, and CEO — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to OFFICER. This page cites only OFFICER: $5,333,585, 16,607 contributions, and 1,060 donors.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down that splits law-enforcement, armed-services, and corporate uses of the word. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals OFFICER after indexing.

Questions

How much have officer donors given in FEC records?
Itemizations that list OFFICER sum to $5,333,585, or $5.3M, across 16,607 contributions and 1,060 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
Are police officers included in the OFFICER total?
Only if they typed OFFICER. POLICE OFFICER is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers OFFICER: $5,333,585, 16,607 contributions, and 1,060 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined public-safety total the packet does not contain. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X.
Does OFFICER mean a corporate officer or a military officer?
The FEC record does not say. Occupation is self-reported one-word text. Treat the 1,060 donor records as a count of matching text, not a classified roster. The indexed sum remains $5,333,585. 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 officer gifts?
The OFFICER occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $5,333,585. 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.
