Key figures
- SENIOR ADVISOR itemizations sum to $6,709,535 from 6,326 contributions and 433 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $1,061 per contribution and about $15,495 per donor record.
- Advisor and consultant variants are separate occupation keys.
- Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.
A small donor pool relative to the dollars
$6,709,535 is the occupation-level dollar total. 6,326 is the itemization count. 433 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $1,061 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $15,495 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 15 itemizations per donor record. Four hundred thirty-three donor records produced this dollar total on 6,326 itemizations—fewer people than many occupation pages with similar sums.
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 $1,061 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.
Because the headcount is 433, name collisions and committee transcription errors have more leverage on the occupation sum than they would in a two-thousand-person bucket.
Advisor, senior advisor, and consultant
SENIOR ADVISOR, ADVISOR, SENIOR CONSULTANT, and CONSULTANT are separate occupation keys when they appear in the bulk file. A person who files senior advisor in one cycle and consultant in the next will not stay in a single occupation total.
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 SENIOR ADVISOR after indexing. ADVISOR, CONSULTANT, and SENIOR CONSULTANT remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to SENIOR ADVISOR.
