FEC.gov records $242,539 at the intersection of State of Michigan and the 2008 election cycle. The Commission’s individual-contribution aggregates list 319 itemized gifts and 133 unique donors for that pair of keys. Across all cycles the stored string STATE OF MICHIGAN sums to $3,910,959, which means this window is about 6.2% of the running total. The page is a join, not a Michigan PAC, not state-budget outlays, and not a Michigan geography filter on donor address.
Key figures
- State of Michigan × 2008 is $242,539 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 319 contributions from 133 donors.
- 2008 is about 6.2% of the grouping’s $3,910,959 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (state-government employer text), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Why State of Michigan and 2008 share one cell
This page is the product of two keys, not a restatement of one hub. Filter individual receipts to STATE OF MICHIGAN and to cycle 2008 and the Commission’s aggregates return $242,539. 319 contributions and 133 donors sit inside that cell. Recipients are not named here. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. FEC.gov is the source.
Open State Of Michigan and the year filter comes off. Open 2008 election cycle and the employer filter comes off. Only the overlay State Of Michigan 2008 keeps both. State of Michigan is state-government employer text. MICHIGAN, STATE OF MI, and named Michigan departments are other keys. A neighboring spelling is a different join even if a searcher thinks the words are synonyms.
$3,910,959 is the lifetime total for this stored string. Folding 2008 into that figure, or stretching $242,539 across every cycle, mixes two different questions. The cell answers only the paired question. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
2008 as a slice of $3,910,959
6.2% is $242,539 divided by $3,910,959. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 93.8% equals $3,668,420 and lives on other cycle pages for State of Michigan. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.
$3,910,959 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to STATE OF MICHIGAN across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 6.2% attached to State of Michigan and 2008 together.
