PARTNER

Dollar weight with a moderate line count

233,657 itemizations is far below occupations that post hundreds of thousands of small gifts. Against $150,503,676, the mean is about $644 per contribution. Against 22,876 donors, the mean is about $6,579 per donor record. About 10 contributions per donor is the repeat rate.

That shape resembles other senior-title buckets more than high-frequency professional labels. It still includes small itemizations; the mean is not a typical check. The FEC extract does not publish quartiles for this occupation key.

Managing partner, name partner, and partner/attorney are other strings if that is what the donor wrote. This page is the PARTNER match only.

Partnership title versus legal form

Writing PARTNER on an FEC form is not proof that the donor’s firm is a general partnership. People use the word for equity holders, rainmakers, and sometimes for co-owners of small businesses. Best-efforts rules capture the text supplied, not the entity’s Secretary of State filing.

A law-firm partner who wrote ATTORNEY or LAWYER instead will appear on those occupation pages, not here. The same person can appear in more than one bucket across different gifts.
