$272,800 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Pharmacist. FEC.gov aggregates count 338 contributions from 124 donors. The same string totals $7,321,276 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 3.7% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a pharmacy NAICS total and not a pharmacy-association PAC.
Key figures
- Pharmacist × 2008 is $272,800 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 338 contributions from 124 donors.
- 2008 is about 3.7% of the grouping’s $7,321,276 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a pharmacy NAICS total and not a pharmacy-association PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Pharmacist as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Pharmacist and 2008 — sum to $272,800. The cell holds 338 itemized contributions and 124 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 Pharmacist hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Pharmacist is a self-reported title, not a state-board licensee file. One hundred twenty-four donors in 2008 produced 338 lines. Chain-pharmacy employer names sit on firm pages. This cell does not merge those chains into the occupation word. PHARMACY, CVS, WALGREENS, and PHARMACY OWNER are other keys. This page is the one-word Pharmacist occupation string.
3.7% of the Pharmacist roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,321,276 ($7.3 million). The 2008 slice of $272,800 is about 3.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 96.3%. Treating 2008 as the Pharmacist FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $7,321,276 as the denominator for the 3.7% 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 $7,321,276.

Questions
- How much did Pharmacist donors give in 2008?
- FEC.gov aggregates show $272,800 in itemized individual contributions for the Pharmacist grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 338 contributions and 124 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $7,321,276 all-cycle figure.
- What share of Pharmacist FEC money is 2008?
- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $7,321,276. The 2008 cell of $272,800 is about 3.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 96.3% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Pharmacist hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
- Does this include only licensed or currently employed pharmacists?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string Pharmacist. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $272,800 from 124 donors.
- Where is the overlay for the Pharmacist 2008 join?
- Open Pharmacist 2008 for the cycle overlay, Pharmacist 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.
