$136,630 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping Harris Associates. FEC.gov aggregates count 47 contributions from 8 donors. The same string totals $7,252,531 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 1.9% of the lifetime bucket — investment-firm employer text meeting a two-year window, not Harris Associates as a corporate treasury or a Harris PAC.

Key figures

  • Harris Associates × 2008 is $136,630 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 47 contributions from 8 donors.
  • 2008 is about 1.9% of the grouping’s $7,252,531 all-cycle total.
  • The label is self-reported form text (investment-firm employer text), not Harris Associates as a corporate treasury or a Harris PAC.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Harris Associates as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — HARRIS ASSOCIATES and 2008 — sum to $136,630. 47 itemized contributions and 8 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 Harris Associates hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Harris Associates is investment-firm employer text, not a verified payroll file. 8 donors and 47 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string HARRIS ASSOCIATES.

The join exists so a reader does not treat $7,252,531 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a Harris Associates-only list. Two filters, one cell: $136,630.

1.9% of the Harris Associates roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,252,531. The 2008 slice of $136,630 is about 1.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 98.1% ($7,115,901). Treating 2008 as the entire Harris Associates FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $7,252,531 as the denominator for the 1.9% 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 $7,252,531. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
