COO donations in the 2014 FEC cycle
Filers who listed COO itemized $1.7 million ($1,699,409) in FEC individual contributions in the 2014 midterm — 1,101 receipts from 543 donors. The three-letter abbreviation remains the key; spelled-out Chief Operating Officer is a different string. The COO bucket sums to $18.9 million; this midterm cell is 9.0% of that bucket.

COO in a 2014 midterm
COO plus cycle 2014 equals $1,699,409. This midterm URL does not carry other cycles’ COO dollar amounts; those amounts are not in this packet. The join is the abbreviation and this even year only.
Parent hubs: Coo donations and the 2014 election cycle. All FEC ties keeps presidential and midterm COO cells on separate paths so they are not collapsed.
The occupation hub for COO lists $18.9 million ($18,870,517) under the exact string COO. The 2014 election-cycle hub is a different cut: every occupation that filed in 2014, not only this label. This ties page is the cell where those two filters meet. All occupations and All FEC ties keep sibling joins in the same directory so a reader can move without mixing totals.
Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for COO in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $1.7 million. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees and other cuts.
The abbreviation’s occupation rollup
$18.9 million ($18,870,517) is the COO string across harvested cycles. The 2014 cell is 9.0% of that rollup. Punctuation variants such as C.O.O. are other keys if the characters differ.
A midterm share near nine percent is a slice of the abbreviation, not a statement that operating officers only give in midterms. Other years are not listed here.
Amended individual contribution reports can move $1,699,409. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $18,870,517. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live COO donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot.
Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $1,699,409. If a later harvest revises 1,101 or 543, revise the volume sentence and leave the occupation rollup ($18,870,517) unchanged unless that rollup moved too.
543 COO donors in 2014
543 donors and 1,101 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per donor about $3,130; mean per receipt about $1,544. A 543-donor midterm file is smaller than many professional keys and can be top-heavy. No median.
Repeat gifts add receipts without adding people. 1,101 is a line count, not 543 one-time gifts.
1,101 is a receipt count. 543 is a distinct-donor count inside this occupation-cycle cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by the string. People who left the occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $1.7 million.
Midterm citation for an abbreviation
Cite $1,699,409 as COO in 2014, keeping the letters. Cite $18,870,517 as the abbreviation’s occupation total. Do not expand the title in the headline and do not import another cycle’s dollars into this sentence.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. All occupations lists neighboring C-suite strings.
Dividing $1,699,409 by 1,101 receipts yields about $1,544 per line. Dividing by 543 donors yields about $3,130 per person in the cell. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income.
Still not a company census
COO does not identify sector, company size, or whether the filer still held the role. A deputy who typed COO is in $1.7 million; an operating chief who spelled the title out is not.
No party split, no ranking of C-suite titles. 1,101 receipts and 543 donors are the volume facts for this midterm join.
FEC.gov individual contribution files carry the occupation as the filer typed it. This join does not recode COO into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a medical-board specialty. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string and do the mapping themselves.
