What this Lobbyist 2008 cell is

This cell is Lobbyist money inside 2008, not Lobbyist money forever and not 2008 money from every employer. FEC.gov puts $281,146 at that crossing, from 356 itemized contributions and 112 donors.

The string LOBBYIST is self-reported occupation word. LOBBYIST is a one-word title on Schedule A. LDA registrations and firm-employer strings are other systems and other keys. The packet does not certify current registrant status. Neighboring stored labels include LOBBYING, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS, CONSULTANT, and named lobbying firms. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $281,146. This file does not invent donor names, recipient committees, or dollar amounts beyond the packet.

Readers comparing hubs should remember the missing key. The Lobbyist hub lacks 2008. The 2008 hub lacks Lobbyist. This page has both, totaling $281,146.

Share of the stored Lobbyist total

Stored Lobbyist contributions sum to $4,325,023. The 2008 window holds $281,146, about 6.5%. Other cycles hold $4,043,877 (93.5%). The share is a ratio, not a verdict.

Because spellings split, $4,325,023 can undercount a real-world organization and overcount a popular generic word. Either way, the ratio 6.5% uses only this string’s facts. Share language on this page always means $281,146 as a fraction of $4,325,023 (about 6.5%), never as a fraction of all 2008 FEC receipts. No cycle-wide denominator is in the facts. The remainder inside the grouping is $4,043,877.
