$279,389 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping Verizon. FEC.gov aggregates count 295 contributions from 162 donors. The same string totals $4,014,059 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 7.0% of the lifetime bucket — telecom employer text meeting a two-year window, not Verizon PAC, not Verizon Wireless as a separate stored employer, and not a USAspending award tagged to a Verizon entity.
Key figures
- Verizon × 2008 is $279,389 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 295 contributions from 162 donors.
- 2008 is about 7.0% of the grouping’s $4,014,059 all-cycle total.
- The label is self-reported form text (telecom employer text), not a PAC.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Verizon as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — VERIZON and 2008 — sum to $279,389. 295 itemized contributions and 162 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 Verizon hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Verizon is telecom employer text, not a verified payroll file. 162 donors and 295 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. VERIZON WIRELESS, VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, and BELL ATLANTIC are other keys. This page is the exact string VERIZON.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $4,014,059 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a Verizon-only list. Two filters, one cell: $279,389. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.
7.0% of the Verizon roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4,014,059. The 2008 slice of $279,389 is about 7.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.0% ($3,734,670). Treating 2008 as the entire Verizon FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $4,014,059 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 $4,014,059. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

- The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,014,059. The 2008 cell of $279,389 is about 7.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 93.0% ($3,734,670) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell.
- Does this include only currently employed Verizon workers?
- No. The bucket is the self-reported string VERIZON. The FEC does not verify licenses, current jobs, or corporate identity. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2008 only, totaling $279,389 from 162 donors across 295 contributions.
- Where is the overlay for the Verizon 2008 join?
- Open Verizon 2008 for the cycle overlay, Verizon for the grouping hub, and 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. Cite FEC.gov for $279,389, 295 contributions, and 162 donors.
