$1,548,437 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation grouping Real Estate Developer. FEC.gov aggregates count 1,127 contributions from 282 donors. The same string totals $22,018,134 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 7.0% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a NAICS real-estate total and not a developer PAC.
Key figures
- Real Estate Developer × 2008 is $1,548,437 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 1,127 contributions from 282 donors.
- 2008 is about 7.0% of the grouping’s $22,018,134 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a NAICS real-estate total and not a developer PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Real Estate Developer as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Real Estate Developer and 2008 — sum to $1,548,437. 1,127 itemized contributions and 282 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 Real Estate Developer hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Real Estate Developer is a job title, not a land-use permit roster. Two hundred eighty-two donors in 2008 matched that three-word phrase. The shorter DEVELOPER key is a different grouping. Named LLCs typed as employer sit on firm pages. DEVELOPER, LAND DEVELOPER, REAL ESTATE, BUILDER, and named development companies are other keys. This page is the three-word occupation string only.
7.0% of the Real Estate Developer roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $22,018,134 ($22.0 million). The 2008 slice of $1,548,437 is about 7.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.0% ($20,469,697). Treating 2008 as the Real Estate Developer FEC story would ignore that remainder.
Treat $22,018,134 as the denominator for the 7.0% 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 $22,018,134.
