Key figures

  • Greenberg Traurig × 2008 is $447,545 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 422 contributions from 225 donors.
  • 2008 is about 10.9% of the grouping’s $4,116,654 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text, not a legal-services NAICS total and not the firm’s PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Greenberg Traurig firm string × 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Greenberg Traurig and 2008 — sum to $447,545. The cell holds 422 itemized contributions and 225 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 Greenberg Traurig hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Two hundred twenty-five unique donors produced 422 Greenberg Traurig lines in 2008. That is a broad law-firm employer cell. Lobbying-registration databases are not this table. A Form 3 employer string is not a Lobbying Disclosure Act registrant list. GREENBERG TRAURIG LLP, GREENBERG TRAURIG PA, and ATTORNEY or LOBBYIST occupation strings remain other keys.

10.9% of the Greenberg Traurig roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,116,654 ($4.1 million). The 2008 slice of $447,545 is about 10.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 89.1%. Treating 2008 as the Greenberg Traurig FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,116,654 as the denominator for the 10.9% 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 $4,116,654.

Questions

How much did Greenberg Traurig donors give in 2008?
FEC.gov aggregates show $447,545 in itemized individual contributions for the Greenberg Traurig grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 422 contributions and 225 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,116,654 all-cycle figure.
What share of Greenberg Traurig FEC money is 2008?
The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,116,654. The 2008 cell of $447,545 is about 10.9% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 89.1% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Greenberg Traurig hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
Is this Greenberg Traurig’s PAC or an official account?
No. $447,545 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Greenberg Traurig. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a legal-services NAICS total and not the firm’s PAC.
Where is the overlay for the Greenberg Traurig 2008 join?
Open Greenberg Traurig 2008 for the cycle overlay, Greenberg Traurig 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.
