Business Executive contributions received by REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

A broad title meeting a national-party ID

Occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and committee C00003418 produce $1,276,822 from 3393 itemized lines. Dividing those dollars by 3393 gifts yields about $376 per contribution. 3393 rows against $1,276,822 is a volume cell: many itemized lines, not a handful of outsized checks.

About 9.6% of the $13,233,638 occupation bucket matched the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Most BUSINESS EXECUTIVE-coded dollars still sit at other committees. Quoting only this tie as ‘executive money’ drops that remainder and also drops other title strings such as CEO or PRESIDENT.

CEO, EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESS OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs. This join is the BUSINESS EXECUTIVE string only. Matching it to C00003418 does not certify C-suite rank, a board seat, or a current employer.

BUSINESS EXECUTIVE as the occupation side

The occupation hub totals $13,233,638 across every recipient. The RNC cell is $1,276,822 from 3393 lines. A catch-all title collects people who did not type a more specific job. It is not an executive-compensation survey.

The occupation hub rolls every committee into one running total. The committee hub rolls every occupation into one C00003418 total. Neither hub is this page. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is a vague title. The $13,233,638 occupation total is that string across every committee, not a BLS executive count. 3393 itemized rows at the RNC describe frequency of the label at C00003418, not C-suite rank.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE as the recipient side

Committee C00003418 received $1,276,822 from BUSINESS EXECUTIVE-coded itemized gifts across 3393 contributions. That is this occupation’s slice of the national committee, not the RNC’s entire individual-receipt history. Other occupations appear on the committee table without appearing in these 3393 rows.

Party-committee receipts are still individual Schedule A lines. They are not independent expenditures and not federal awards. A shared occupation label does not map a donor onto a USAspending recipient.

What the overlap does not prove

An 9.6% share describes how BUSINESS EXECUTIVE-coded receipts lined up against one committee ID. It does not prove that executives as a class funded a party, and it does not rank influence. Treat BUSINESS EXECUTIVE as the string on the form. Correlation is not causation.

Related tables

Business Executive holds the $13,233,638 occupation total. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE holds C00003418 receipts from every occupation. All occupations and all FEC ties collect neighboring joins. The 3393 contributions are itemized lines only. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. Read both hubs before quoting a single dollar figure. This tie page exists so the occupation total and the committee overlay stay comparable without being stacked. FEC.gov is the source.

How to cite BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and the RNC

Name both keys: occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE totaling $13,233,638 across all recipients, and $1,276,822 in 3393 itemized gifts to the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418). The share of the occupation bucket is 9.6%. The arithmetic mean of about $376 reflects 3393 itemized lines. Do not print an executive share of federal awards. This packet has no USAspending field.

Subtract $1,276,822 from $13,233,638 and the difference is BUSINESS EXECUTIVE-coded money at every other committee. Do not stack this cell with CEO or PRESIDENT joins. Those are other occupation strings. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-committee total; the committee internal link holds every occupation with C00003418.

Keep the three numbers together: $1,276,822 dollars, 3393 contributions, and committee C00003418. A 3393-row cell is a volume pattern. Repeat itemized gifts can add lines without adding large dollars, which is why the arithmetic mean sits near $376. All occupations and all FEC ties place the pair among other occupation-committee joins. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE as typed is the filter; CEO and EXECUTIVE are other hubs if those strings exist. Quoting only the $13,233,638 occupation hub without the RNC drops this cell; quoting only C00003418 without the occupation string drops every other title on the committee.
