Key figures
- PROPERTY MANAGEMENT itemizations sum to $6,103,031 from 26,160 contributions and 968 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $233 per contribution and about $6,305 per donor record.
- PROPERTY MANAGER is a separate FEC occupation bucket.
- Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.
High-repeat receipts under $6.1 million
$6,103,031 is the occupation-level dollar total. 26,160 is the itemization count. 968 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $233 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $6,305 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 27 itemizations per donor record. Twenty-six thousand-plus lines from 968 donor records is a high-repeat pattern: many receipts per person relative to concentrated executive keys.
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 $233 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.
The repeat rate is high. Recurring conduit gifts and multi-committee giving can each add rows. This guide does not assign a share to those channels because the packet has no channel split.
Function versus manager as occupation text
Some donors write PROPERTY MANAGEMENT; others write PROPERTY MANAGER or REAL ESTATE. FEC bulk data keeps each spelling. LobbyVault does not merge them.
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 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT after indexing. PROPERTY MANAGER, REAL ESTATE, and PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

- Itemizations that list PROPERTY MANAGEMENT sum to $6,103,031 across 26,160 contributions and 968 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 property manager included in this total?
- Only if the occupation field equals PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. PROPERTY MANAGER is a different key. This page is $6,103,031, 26,160 contributions, and 968 donors for the function string. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.
- Why so many contributions from 968 donors?
- The index lists 26,160 lines against 968 people, about 27 lines per record. Repeat itemizations are the norm.
