On FEC.gov, the employer/industry grouping Insurance Agent and the 2008 election cycle join at $569,467. 276 donors and 698 itemized individual contributions produced that total. The same grouping’s stored lifetime figure is $13,557,282, so this window is about 4.2% of the book. Read the cell as a relationship between a stored string and a two-year tag, not as an insurers PAC, a producer-license census, or an insurance NAICS total.
Key figures
- Insurance Agent × 2008 equals $569,467 in itemized individual contributions.
- 276 donors and 698 receipts are the volume fields.
- 4.2% of $13,557,282 falls in 2008; $12,987,815 is other years.
- INSURANCE AGENT is exact-match occupation string, not an insurers PAC, a producer-license census, or an insurance NAICS total.
- Quote both dimensions; do not mix in USAspending.
Insurance Agent money that is tagged 2008
$569,467 requires both filters. Insurance Agent alone is the $13,557,282 hub. 2008 alone is every other stored label in that window. The intersection is 698 receipts and 276 donors. Independent expenditures and committee transfers are other FEC tables and are not folded in. The total is not a corporate treasury gift.
People who stored INSURANCE or a carrier name sit elsewhere. This cell is the occupation string INSURANCE AGENT. The stored string is INSURANCE AGENT. INSURANCE, INSURANCE BROKER, AGENT, and named carriers stay outside this total. Exact-match grouping is mechanical. It is not a judgment about which label is “correct.” Named donors are not invented on this page; 276 is an identity count from the packet.
Use Insurance Agent 2008 for the overlay, Insurance Agent for the grouping, 2008 election cycle for the year, and All FEC ties for other joins. Those four links are the map. This prose does not replace the overlay.
Share of the Insurance Agent lifetime grouping
4.2% of $13,557,282 is $569,467. The other 95.8% is $12,987,815 in other cycles. Because this packet does not list those other cycle dollars one by one, they are cited only as a remainder. Open the Insurance Agent hub to drop the year filter. Treating 2008 as the entire Insurance Agent FEC story would ignore $12,987,815.
A 4.2% cell can be larger or smaller than other even-year windows on the same hub. Without those other amounts in the packet, no year-over-year percent is stated. The lifetime total is a denominator, not a business valuation. Neighboring spellings are not added into $13,557,282 or $569,467.

Questions
- How much did Insurance Agent donors contribute in 2008?
- $569,467 in itemized individual contributions, from 698 receipts and 276 donors, for the stored grouping INSURANCE AGENT in the 2008 cycle. That is the two-key join, not the $13,557,282 all-cycle figure. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.
- Is the Insurance Agent 2008 total a PAC figure?
- No. $569,467 is itemized individual Schedule A activity grouped to INSURANCE AGENT. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. 698 contributions and 276 donors describe the individual-receipt cell only, not a committee total. Cite FEC.gov. INSURANCE AGENT in 2008 is $569,467 on 698 itemized receipts from 276 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $13,557,282.
- Why not treat $13,557,282 as the 2008 number?
- $13,557,282 includes every cycle for this string. 2008 is $569,467, about 4.2%. The remaining $12,987,815 belongs on the Insurance Agent hub under other years. This page exists so those filters stay separate and the join is not restated as a hub.
- Do these Insurance Agent gifts appear in USAspending?
- Not as a fact in this packet. FEC contributions and USAspending awards are different datasets under different reporting rules. $569,467 is not an obligation total and does not fund federal awards here. Keep the join on Schedule A only. Cite FEC.gov. INSURANCE AGENT in 2008 is $569,467 on 698 itemized receipts from 276 donors; the all-cycle grouping is $13,557,282.
