$298,611 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping US House of Representatives. FEC.gov aggregates count 365 contributions from 102 donors. The same string totals $4,296,168 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 7.0% of the lifetime bucket — legislative-employer text as stored for the House meeting a two-year window, not a House PAC, USAspending legislative-branch awards, or U.S. HOUSE as a punctuated sibling.
Key figures
- US House of Representatives × 2008 is $298,611 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 365 contributions from 102 donors.
- 2008 is about 7.0% of the grouping’s $4,296,168 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (legislative-employer text as stored for the House), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
US House of Representatives as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — US House of Representatives and 2008 — sum to $298,611. 365 itemized contributions and 102 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 US House of Representatives hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. US House of Representatives is legislative-employer text as stored for the House, not a verified payroll file. 102 donors and 365 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. Punctuation and the U.S. abbreviation split this workplace string. US SENATE is a different chamber key. The cell is itemized individual receipts, not a House committee disbursement table. Neighboring stored labels include U.S. HOUSE, US HOUSE, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, and US SENATE. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $298,611.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,296,168 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a US House of Representatives-only list. Two filters, one cell: $298,611.
7.0% of the US House of Representatives roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,296,168. The 2008 slice of $298,611 is about 7.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.0% ($3,997,557). Treating 2008 as the entire US House of Representatives FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $4,296,168 as the denominator for the 7.0% 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 $4,296,168. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure. The 7.0% ratio is $298,611 divided by $4,296,168. Other even-year joins for US House of Representatives are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,997,557. Citing 2008 as if it were the US House of Representatives lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,997,557.
