CITIGROUP

Citigroup as stored employer text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Citigroup and 2008 — sum to $874,637. 689 itemized contributions and 365 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 Citigroup hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Three hundred sixty-five donors and 689 lines in 2008 sit under the one-word Citigroup brand. Truncated CITI or CITIBANK rows are neighboring keys. BANK OF AMERICA and DEUTSCHE BANK are other employer strings, not subsets of this cell. CITI, CITIBANK, CITIGROUP INC, and BANKER or INVESTMENT BANKER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

15.6% of the Citigroup roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,622,076 ($5.62 million). The 2008 slice of $874,637 is about 15.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 84.4% ($4,747,439). Treating 2008 as the Citigroup FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,622,076 as the denominator for the 15.6% 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 $5,622,076.

Questions

How much did Citigroup donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $874,637 in itemized individual contributions for the Citigroup grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 689 contributions and 365 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $5,622,076 all-cycle figure.

What share of Citigroup FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $5,622,076. The 2008 cell of $874,637 is about 15.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 84.4% ($4,747,439) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Citigroup hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is $874,637 the Citigroup PAC total for 2008?

No. $874,637 is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to Citigroup in the 2008 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 689 contributions came from 365 donors. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Citigroup hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
