Key figures

  • SECRETARY occupation itemizations sum to $10,153,281 from 54,230 contributions and 2,018 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $187 per contribution and about $5,031 per donor record.
  • The word is donor-typed Form 3/3X text and does not specify clerical versus officer rank.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

High-repeat one-word title, a $187 mean

$10,153,281, 54,230 itemizations, and 2,018 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $187. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,031. Repeat giving is about 27 itemizations per donor record.

54,230 lines from 2,018 records is a high-repeat stack. The $187 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical clerical wage redirected to politics.

The packet has no clerical-versus-officer split, no employer field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

SECRETARY does not specify clerical or corporate

The FEC record does not verify whether the donor is an administrative secretary or a corporate secretary. Cabinet-style uses of the word in other countries, nonprofit secretaries, and retirees can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

This page cites only $10,153,281, 54,230 contributions, and 2,018 donors. OFFICE MANAGER, ADMINISTRATOR, and EXECUTIVE remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
