Donors who listed SUPERVISOR as occupation account for $5.2M in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov bulk files. The exact occupation total is $5,180,837 on 36,830 contribution lines tied to 1,274 donor records. SUPERVISOR is a generic rank word, not MANAGER or FOREMAN. Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X.

Key figures

  • SUPERVISOR itemizations sum to $5,180,837 ($5.2M) from 36,830 contributions and 1,274 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $141 per contribution and about $4,066 per donor record.
  • SUPERVISOR is one-word free text; workplace type is not in the packet.
  • Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified job roster.

A generic rank title under $5.2M

$5,180,837 is the occupation-level dollar total. 36,830 is the itemization count. 1,274 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $141 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $4,066 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 29 itemizations per donor record.

36,830 lines from 1,274 records is a high-frequency pattern for a one-word workplace title. The per-line mean of about $141 is modest: dollars accumulated in many schedules rather than a few large checks. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no industry-of-supervision flag, and no party split. SUPERVISOR can describe a factory floor, a call center, a clinic, or a public agency. The occupation column does not say which.

Supervisor is not manager and not foreman

MANAGER, FOREMAN, and SHIFT SUPERVISOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to SUPERVISOR. This page cites only $5,180,837, 36,830 contributions, and 1,274 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of supervisory grades. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals SUPERVISOR after indexing. PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR and OFFICE SUPERVISOR remain other pages unless they normalized here.

Questions

How much have supervisor donors given in FEC records?
Itemizations that list SUPERVISOR sum to $5,180,837, or $5.2M, across 36,830 contributions and 1,274 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.
Are managers included in the SUPERVISOR total?
Only if they typed SUPERVISOR. MANAGER is a separate occupation string unless the bulk extract normalized it here. This page covers SUPERVISOR: $5,180,837, 36,830 contributions, and 1,274 donors. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.
What kind of supervisor is this?
The FEC record does not say. SUPERVISOR is one-word free text that can describe many workplaces. Treat the 1,274 donor records as a count of matching text, not a job-classification roster. The indexed sum remains $5,180,837. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts never enter this total.
Where do I review individual supervisor gifts?
The SUPERVISOR occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $5,180,837. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
