$160,370 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping State of Florida. FEC.gov aggregates count 190 contributions from 90 donors. The same string totals $53,039,884 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 0.3% of the lifetime bucket — public-employer text meeting a two-year window, not a State of Florida PAC, a state treasury disbursement, or every Florida agency name stored as its own key.
Key figures
- State of Florida × 2008 is $160,370 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 190 contributions from 90 donors.
- 2008 is about 0.3% of the grouping’s $53,039,884 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (public-employer text), not a State of Florida PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
State of Florida as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — STATE OF FLORIDA and 2008 — sum to $160,370. 190 itemized contributions and 90 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. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the State of Florida hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. State of Florida is public-employer text, not a verified payroll file. 90 donors and 190 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string STATE OF FLORIDA.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $53,039,884 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a State of Florida-only list. Two filters, one cell: $160,370.
0.3% of the State of Florida roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $53,039,884. The 2008 slice of $160,370 is about 0.3% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.7% ($52,879,514). Treating 2008 as the entire State of Florida FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $53,039,884 as the denominator for the 0.3% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $53,039,884. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
