Key figures
- Koch Industries × 2008 is $331,383 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 279 contributions from 48 donors.
- 2008 is about 8.5% of the grouping’s $3,916,660 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text (KOCH INDUSTRIES), not a PAC disbursement and not a NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Koch Industries as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Koch Industries (KOCH INDUSTRIES) and 2008 — sum to $331,383. 279 itemized contributions and 48 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.
Neither the Koch Industries hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. KOCH INDUSTRIES is the stored employer string. KOCH, KOCH BROS, and KOCH COMPANIES are other keys. Forty-eight unique donors produced 279 itemized lines. Do not invent those names. The page does not assign motive, ideology, or a legislative outcome. It is not Koch PAC disbursements. LobbyVault does not merge neighboring spellings into $331,383. This URL exists because the two dimensions meet.
8.5% of the Koch Industries roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,916,660 ($3.9 million). The 2008 slice of $331,383 is about 8.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.5% ($3,585,277). Treating 2008 as the Koch Industries FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $3,916,660 as the denominator for the 8.5% 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 $3,916,660.
