Two dimensions meet here: the occupation string Interior Designer and the 2008 election cycle. The meeting is $294,746, built from 283 contributions and 111 donors on FEC.gov. Lifetime Interior Designer storage is $6,153,992 (4.8% in this window). The page does not restate a hub; it explains the join — self-reported occupation title, not a designers PAC, an interior-design NAICS rollup, or DESIGNER stored as a shorter sibling.

Key figures

  • Itemized individual total $294,746 at Interior Designer × 2008.
  • 283 lines / 111 identities (mean $1,042 per line).
  • $6,153,992 is all cycles; $294,746 is 2008 only (4.8%).
  • Grouping type: self-reported occupation title.
  • Campaign contributions are not federal awards.

Interior Designer is one axis; 2008 is the other

An industry-cycle page is not a restatement of Interior Designer and not a restatement of 2008. It is the cell where they meet: $294,746, 283 contributions, 111 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle are the source note.

On the occupation side, Interior Designer is self-reported occupation title. On the cycle side, 2008 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. INTERIOR DESIGNER is a two-word title. DESIGNER without Interior is a different key. Firm names typed as employer are not folded into this occupation cell. Neighboring stored labels include DESIGNER, INTERIOR DESIGN, INTERIOR DECORATOR, ARCHITECT, and named design firms as employer. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $294,746. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $294,746.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $6,153,992 is the lifetime Interior Designer bucket. The 2008 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $294,746.

2008 is not the whole Interior Designer story

Interior Designer across all cycles is $6,153,992. Interior Designer in 2008 is $294,746 — about 4.8%. The gap is $5,859,246. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2008 overlay still sees $294,746 for this string, not $6,153,992. A reader who only opens the industry hub still needs the year filter to recover $294,746. 2008 holds $294,746 of $6,153,992 for this string — about 4.8%. Other cycles hold $5,859,246 (95.2%). Folding those other cycles into a 2008 citation would misstate the record by $5,859,246.
