CISCO SYSTEMS

Cisco Systems crossed with 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Cisco Systems and 2008 — sum to $345,558. The cell holds 344 itemized contributions and 160 unique donors. 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 Cisco Systems hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. One hundred sixty donors and 344 Cisco Systems lines in 2008 describe a named-tech employer cell. People who typed only Cisco without Systems may sit on a shorter key. Federal network-equipment awards on USAspending are not these campaign receipts. CISCO, CISCO SYSTEMS INC, and generic ENGINEER or SOFTWARE occupation strings are other keys.

6.3% of the Cisco Systems roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,443,189 ($5.4 million). The 2008 slice of $345,558 is about 6.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.7%. Treating 2008 as the Cisco Systems FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,443,189 as the denominator for the 6.3% 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 $5,443,189.

Questions

How much did Cisco Systems donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $345,558 in itemized individual contributions for the Cisco Systems grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 344 contributions and 160 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,443,189 all-cycle figure.

What share of Cisco Systems FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,443,189. The 2008 cell of $345,558 is about 6.3% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.7% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Cisco Systems hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Cisco Systems’s PAC or an official account?

No. $345,558 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Cisco Systems. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a computer-equipment NAICS total and not a Cisco PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Cisco Systems 2008 join?

Open Cisco Systems 2008 for the cycle overlay, Cisco Systems for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
