  • VICE PRESIDENT and SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT are separate FEC occupation buckets.

Abbreviation versus spelled-out rank

$29,934,385, 88,987 itemizations, and 4,850 donor records describe this occupation filter. Mean contribution size is about $336. Mean dollars per donor record is about $6,172. Repeat giving is about 18 itemizations per donor record.

English speakers may treat VP and VICE PRESIDENT as synonyms. The FEC occupation column does not. Combining them without showing both source totals mixes keys. This page cites only the two-letter facts.

These means are arithmetic. The packet has no median.

What two letters do not verify

The FEC record does not verify corporate rank. Private-company officers, nonprofit vice presidents, and people using VP loosely can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a controlled vocabulary.

A person who listed VP on some gifts and SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines. Occupation is per transaction.
