Exec itemized gifts from Colorado
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation EXEC and donor state CO. Matching rows sum to $288,963, 91 contributions, and 9 donors. The occupation hub is $6,792,051 across every state in the aggregate. The Colorado state hub mixes every other occupation coded to CO. Neither hub restates this intersection.
Key figures
- EXEC in Colorado = $288,963 (4.3% of $6,792,051).
- 9 donor keys; 91 itemized lines.
- Sibling strings (Executive, CEO, Executive VP, and Officer) are other keys.
- Public records join, not a motive claim.
Reading $288,963 as Exec in Colorado
Where donor state CO meets occupation EXEC, itemized individual contributions sum to $288,963 across 91 lines and 9 donor keys. The occupation aggregate without a state screen is $6,792,051 from 13,645 contributions and 676 donors. Colorado is 4.3% of that occupation book; $6,503,088 was filed under other states. The arithmetic uses only packet facts.
This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the occupation side, the state side, the gift math, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Exec donations across states, and it is not a restatement of Colorado campaign finance across occupations.
Sibling titles next to Exec
Executive, CEO, Executive VP, and Officer are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of EXEC and they are not folded into $288,963. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 4.3%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.
EXEC is the abbreviated occupation string. Executive spelled out is a different key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: EXEC in Colorado for $288,963.
Reading 91 contributions as a line count
Line count 91 and donor count 9 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried EXEC and state CO? 91. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 9. How many dollars? $288,963. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share
$288,963 ÷ $6,792,051 = 4.3%. $6,503,088 ÷ $6,792,051 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 9 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 9 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.
A 4.3% dollar share means other states still hold $6,503,088 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Exec was quiet or loud in Colorado politics. Other states are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.
What this join does not prove
This page does not rank Colorado as more or less Exec-driven than other states, does not call the cell a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A EXEC occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.
Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See Colorado campaign finance, Exec donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.
Itemized coverage and what stays outside
Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $288,963 is that subset for Colorado. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Colorado receipts.
EXEC is the abbreviated occupation string. Executive spelled out is a different key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Keep Exec and Colorado in the same sentence as $288,963. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.
Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Exec, donor state Colorado (CO), $288,963 itemized, 91 contributions, 9 donors, 4.3% of $6,792,051 from 676 national donors. EXEC is the abbreviated occupation string. Executive spelled out is a different key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Executive, CEO, Executive VP, and Officer stay on other occupation pages. The Colorado campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.
What a reader may not do with $288,963: treat it as payroll, treat 9 as a workforce census, treat 4.3% as a share of Colorado statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $3,175 per contribution and $32,107 per donor remain attached to 91 and 9. About 10.1 lines per donor remains 91 divided by 9.
Questions
- How much have Exec donors in Colorado given?
- The join records $288,963 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Exec and donor state Colorado, from 91 contributions and 9 donors. The occupation’s national total is $6,792,051, so Colorado is 4.3% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
- Does this count every exec who donated from Colorado?
- No. The 9 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to EXEC and state CO. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $288,963 on 91 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.
- What share of Exec occupation money is from Colorado?
- 4.3%: $288,963 of $6,792,051. The remaining $6,503,088 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $288,963 divided by $6,792,051, not a ranking of civic engagement. Other states’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder. Donor share is 1.3%.
- Does this money go to Colorado candidates?
- Not necessarily. Donor state is Colorado (CO). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $288,963 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Colorado campaign finance for every occupation coded to CO. Source: FEC.gov.
