PRODUCT MANAGER

The occupation aggregates

$6,561,017 is the occupation-level dollar total. 36,068 is the itemization count. 1,415 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $182 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $4,637 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 25 itemizations per donor record. The line count is high relative to the headcount, which fits recurring online gifts and multi-committee giving rather than a few large itemizations.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $182 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Product manager, senior product manager, and PM are different occupation keys if they appear as different text. A donor who adds senior on a later form leaves this total.

Free text on Schedule A

There is no SOC code for product manager on the FEC form. The 1,415-donor figure is a distinct-person count inside this exact label after indexing—not a labor-statistics estimate of product managers.

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 of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals PRODUCT MANAGER after indexing. SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER, PROJECT MANAGER, and PROGRAM MANAGER remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PRODUCT MANAGER.

Itemizations that list PRODUCT MANAGER sum to $6,561,017 across 36,068 contributions and 1,415 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.

Is product manager the same as project manager in FEC data?

No. Occupation matching is exact. PRODUCT MANAGER and PROJECT MANAGER are different strings. This page covers $6,561,017, 36,068 contributions, and 1,415 donors.

Does this total represent the tech industry?

No. It is one job-title string. Product managers work in many sectors. Industry pages group employer-side data. The occupation total remains $6,561,017 from 1,415 donor records. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.
