Attorney At Law political money — 2008 cycle

$558,498 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation string Attorney At Law. FEC.gov aggregates count 506 contributions from 160 donors. The same stored string totals $8,080,474 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 6.9% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total.

Key figures

  • Attorney At Law × 2008 is $558,498 in itemized individual contributions.
  • The cell includes 506 contributions from 160 donors.
  • 2008 is about 6.9% of the grouping’s $8,080,474 all-cycle total.
  • The label is filer-entered form text, not a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total.
  • FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

Attorney At Law as stored text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — ATTORNEY AT LAW and 2008 — sum to $558,498. 506 itemized contributions and 160 unique donors produced it. The total is not a corporate treasury gift and is not a committee disbursement. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.

Neither the Attorney At Law hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Attorney At Law is occupation string, not a verified payroll file. 160 donors and 506 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. ATTORNEY AT LAW is one stored title. ATTORNEY and LAWYER are other keys even when the same person might have used them in another year. People who typed ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ATTY, ESQ, and named law firms sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string ATTORNEY AT LAW.

LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Attorney At Law 2008 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2008 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Attorney At Law 2008 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $558,498, 506 contributions, 160 donors, and 6.9% of $8,080,474.

6.9% of the Attorney At Law roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $8,080,474. The 2008 slice of $558,498 is about 6.9% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 93.1% ($7,521,976). Treating 2008 as the entire Attorney At Law FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.

Treat $8,080,474 as the denominator for the 6.9% 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 $8,080,474. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.

506 contributions from 160 donors

Dividing $558,498 by 506 contributions yields about $1,104 per itemized gift. Dividing by 160 donors yields about $3,491 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 3.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.

160 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. Unitemized gifts never appear in $558,498.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Attorney At Law is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Attorney At Law to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $558,498 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2008 is a presidential federal cycle on FEC.gov. That calendar label does not explain $558,498. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string ATTORNEY AT LAW.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $558,498. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a law-firm PAC, a bar-membership file, or a legal-services NAICS total.

Correlation between a stored occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 160 donors, and 506 contributions. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ATTY, ESQ, and named law firms are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. If the live hubs disagree with $558,498 or 160 donors, the newer FEC extract controls.

Citing Attorney At Law and 2008 together

Start with $558,498, then Attorney At Law 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Attorney At Law, 2008, $558,498, 506 contributions, 160 donors, 6.9% of $8,080,474, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string ATTORNEY AT LAW.

The 6.9% share, the 160-donor count, and the $1,104 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
