CFO occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

CFO and the 2008 cycle as two FEC filters

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation CFO and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $2,477,340 ($2.5 million), 2,342 contributions, and 1,269 donors. 6.8% of CFO occupation dollars ($36,233,003) fall in 2008.

2008 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2008 on FEC.gov, a presidential-year window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2008 dollars. CFO is the abbreviation as entered. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER spelled out is a different key if that is how the filer typed it. The 2008 join does not verify that the donor was a sitting chief financial officer in the cycle.

CFO as an occupation string

On the occupation side, $36,233,003 is the CFO total across cycles. Sibling labels (CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, FINANCE, and CONTROLLER) stay on other pages. CFO is not a public-company CFO census, an SEC officer list, or a finance PAC.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $36,233,003. The CFO donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $2,477,340 is a slice of. Dividing $2,477,340 by 2,342 receipts yields about $1,058 per line; dividing by 1,269 donors yields about $1,952 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

1,269 CFO donors in the 2008 cell

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only CFO. $2,477,340 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2008. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a later presidential cycle.

2,342 contributions from 1,269 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.8 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,058; mean per donor about $1,952. Those means are arithmetic on the 2008 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $2,477,340. Three numbers define the CFO × 2008 cell: dollars $2,477,340, contribution rows 2,342, unique donors 1,269. Share of occupation dollars is 6.8% of $36,233,003.

What a CFO–2008 join cannot claim

Matching CFO with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say CFO donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a public-company CFO census, an SEC officer list, or a finance PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CFO is the abbreviation as entered. CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER spelled out is a different key if that is how the filer typed it. The 2008 join does not verify that the donor was a sitting chief financial officer in the cycle. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $2,477,340 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked CFO and 2008 tables

CFO donations holds the $36,233,003 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only CFO. All occupations places CFO beside other titles without merging sibling strings (CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, FINANCE, and CONTROLLER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $2,477,340 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle CFO dollars ($36,233,003). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $2,477,340, 2,342 contributions, 1,269 donors, 6.8% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Presidential-year reading of CFO 2008

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, generals, and leftover receipts from adjacent windows can sit in the same even-year label. This packet does not split $2,477,340 by those stages or by party.

A later or earlier cell for the same occupation string is a different join even when the occupation total $36,233,003 is shared. Keep CFO attached to $2,477,340 whenever the sentence also names cycle 2008.
