$230,639 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping CEO. FEC.gov aggregates count 224 contributions from 74 donors. The same string totals $3,924,702 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 5.9% of the lifetime bucket — self-reported executive title meeting a two-year window, not a CEOs PAC, not a verified officer roster, and not every CHIEF EXECUTIVE spelling.
Key figures
- CEO × 2008 is $230,639 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 224 contributions from 74 donors.
- 2008 is about 5.9% of the grouping’s $3,924,702 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (self-reported executive title), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
CEO as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — CEO and 2008 — sum to $230,639. 224 itemized contributions and 74 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the CEO hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. CEO is self-reported executive title, not a verified payroll file. 74 donors and 224 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. CHIEF EXECUTIVE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, PRESIDENT, and EXECUTIVE are other keys. This page is the exact string CEO.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $3,924,702 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a CEO-only list. Two filters, one cell: $230,639. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
5.9% of the CEO roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,924,702. The 2008 slice of $230,639 is about 5.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.1% ($3,694,063). Treating 2008 as the entire CEO FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $3,924,702 as the denominator for the 5.9% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $3,924,702. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

Questions
- How much did CEO donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $230,639 in itemized individual contributions for the CEO grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 224 contributions and 74 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $3,924,702 all-cycle figure. Independent expenditures are not included.
- What share of CEO FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,924,702. The 2008 cell of $230,639 is about 5.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.1% ($3,694,063) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
- Does this include only people currently serving as chief executive officers?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string CEO. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $230,639 from 74 donors across 224 contributions.
- Where is the overlay for the CEO 2008 join?
- Open Ceo 2008 for the cycle overlay, Ceo for the grouping hub, and 2008 election cycle for the year without this occupation filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Cite FEC.gov for $230,639, 224 contributions, and 74 donors.
