JONES DAY

Jones Day firm string × 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Jones Day and 2008 — sum to $540,496. The cell holds 536 itemized contributions and 215 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 Jones Day hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Two hundred fifteen unique donors and 536 lines in 2008 describe a large law-firm employer cell. Partners, associates, and household members who reuse the firm name can share the string. The Commission does not certify current partnership status. ATTORNEY as a title is a different grouping. JONES DAY LLP, JONES, DAY, REAVIS & POGUE, and ATTORNEY or LAWYER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

13.5% of the Jones Day roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,003,638 ($4.0 million). The 2008 slice of $540,496 is about 13.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 86.5%. Treating 2008 as the Jones Day FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,003,638 as the denominator for the 13.5% 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 $4,003,638.

Questions

How much did Jones Day donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $540,496 in itemized individual contributions for the Jones Day grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 536 contributions and 215 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,003,638 all-cycle figure.

What share of Jones Day FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,003,638. The 2008 cell of $540,496 is about 13.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 86.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Jones Day hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Jones Day’s PAC or an official account?

No. $540,496 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Jones Day. 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 Jones Day 2008 join?

Open Jones Day 2008 for the cycle overlay, Jones Day 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.
