$1,355,825 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Executive. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,198 contributions from 325 donors. The same string totals $87,249,417 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 1.6% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not an executive PAC and not a management-occupations NAICS total.
Key figures
- Executive × 2008 is $1,355,825 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 1,198 contributions from 325 donors.
- 2008 is about 1.6% of the grouping’s $87,249,417 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not an executive PAC and not a management-occupations NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Executive as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Executive and 2008 — sum to $1,355,825. 1,198 itemized contributions and 325 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 Executive hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Executive is a broad job title, not a C-suite census. Three hundred twenty-five donors in 2008 matched that word across 1,198 lines. PRESIDENT and CEO are neighboring keys. Named companies typed as employer sit elsewhere. PRESIDENT, CEO, BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, and named-firm employer strings are other keys. This page is the one-word Executive title.
1.6% of the Executive roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $87,249,417 ($87.2 million). The 2008 slice of $1,355,825 is about 1.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.4% ($85,893,592). Treating 2008 as the Executive FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $87,249,417 as the denominator for the 1.6% 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 $87,249,417.

Questions
- How much did Executive donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $1,355,825 in itemized individual contributions for the Executive grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 1,198 contributions and 325 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $87,249,417 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Executive FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $87,249,417. The 2008 cell of $1,355,825 is about 1.6% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 98.4% ($85,893,592) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Executive 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 Executive donors?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string Executive. 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 $1,355,825 from 325 donors.
- Where is the overlay for the Executive 2008 join?
- Open Executive 2008 for the cycle overlay, Executive 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.
