How much did Actress donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $758,483 in itemized individual contributions for the Actress grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 422 contributions and 109 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $8,949,628 all-cycle figure.

What share of Actress FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $8,949,628. The 2008 cell of $758,483 is about 8.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 91.5% ($8,191,145) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Actress hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed Actress donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string Actress. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $758,483 from 109 donors.

$758,483 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Actress. FEC.gov aggregates count 422 contributions from 109 donors. The same string totals $8,949,628 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 8.5% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not an actors PAC, not SAG membership, and not an entertainment NAICS total.

Actress as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Actress and 2008 — sum to $758,483. 422 itemized contributions and 109 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Actress hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Actress is a self-reported title, not a union roster. One hundred nine donors and 422 lines in 2008 matched that word. ACTOR is a neighboring title with its own cell. ARTIST is a broader occupation key. Named studios typed as employer sit elsewhere. ACTOR, ARTIST, PERFORMER, ENTERTAINER, and named studios are other keys. This page is the one-word Actress string.

8.5% of the Actress roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,949,628 ($8.95 million). The 2008 slice of $758,483 is about 8.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.5% ($8,191,145). Treating 2008 as the Actress FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $8,949,628 as the denominator for the 8.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $8,949,628.
