Administrative Assistant donations, 2008 FEC cycle

Administrative Assistant as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $460,688 ($460,688), 468 contributions, and 251 donors. 9.0% of Administrative Assistant occupation dollars ($5,091,998) fall in 2008. 2008 is a presidential-year workplace-title cell: 468 receipts from 251 donors, a mid-row assistant stamp kept separate from Executive Assistant.

Administrative Assistant is a two-word workplace title as typed, not a seniority recode. Nearby strings — EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SECRETARY, ADMIN ASSISTANT, and OFFICE ASSISTANT — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $460,688 or $5,091,998. Executive Assistant is a different stored string and is not folded into this cell. The FEC file does not verify an employer, a pay grade, or a supervisory seat.

The ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT string across cycles

On the occupation side, $5,091,998 ($5.1 million) is the Administrative Assistant total across cycles. The 2008 cell is 9.0% of that roll; the remaining $4,631,310 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Administrative Assistant is not a secretarial-license file and not a headcount of every assistant. Administrative Assistant is not a BLS office-support census, a firm org chart, or a union clerical roll.

Open Administrative Assistant donations for the $5,091,998 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2008 cell, 468 itemized contributions map to 251 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $984; dollars per donor average about $1,835. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, the general election, and leftover receipts from adjacent months can share the same even-year label. This packet does not split dollars by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Administrative Assistant row. 251 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $460,688.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $460,688 attached to 2008 and $5,091,998 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($4,631,310) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $460,688 with both nouns: Administrative Assistant and 2008.

What an Administrative Assistant cycle join cannot claim

Matching Administrative Assistant with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Administrative Assistant donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a BLS office-support census, a firm org chart, or a union clerical roll.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $460,688. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked assistant hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Administrative Assistant donations holds the $5,091,998 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Administrative Assistant. All occupations places ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT beside other titles without merging sibling strings (EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, SECRETARY, ADMIN ASSISTANT, and OFFICE ASSISTANT). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $460,688 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Administrative Assistant dollars ($5,091,998). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $460,688, 468 contributions, 251 donors, 9.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $460,688; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,091,998. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Administrative Assistant-labeled donors give in 2008?

The Administrative Assistant grouping’s 2008 cell is $460,688 in itemized individual contributions, from 468 contributions and 251 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,091,998 all-cycle occupation total.

Is Administrative Assistant the same as Executive Assistant?

No. ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT and EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT are different occupation strings. Secretary and Office Assistant are other keys if filers used those words. This join uses only ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT and does not recode those titles into one assistant total. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Administrative Assistant in 2008 is $460,688 on 468 receipts from 251 donors.

What share of Administrative Assistant FEC money fell in 2008?

About 9.0%. $460,688 divided by $5,091,998 is the 2008 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $4,631,310 on the occupation hub. See the Administrative Assistant occupation hub for other cycles and the 2008 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Administrative Assistant 2008 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $460,688 is itemized receipts tagged ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT in 2008, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
