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.
