Chief Operating Officer donations in the 2008 FEC cycle
Filers who listed Chief Operating Officer itemized $826,571 in FEC individual contributions in the 2008 presidential cycle — 737 receipts from 369 donors. COO as three letters is a different occupation key. The occupation string CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER sums to $10.5 million ($10,490,066) across harvested cycles; this 2008 cell is 7.9% of that sum. FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This page is the join of the Chief Operating Officer occupation table and the 2008 election-cycle table, not a restatement of either hub.

Chief Operating Officer × 2008
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER plus cycle 2008 equals $826,571. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2008. COO, chief operations officer, and operations director are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an SEC officer roster, a C-suite compensation survey, or a private-company org chart. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.
Parent hubs: Chief Operating Officer donations at /occupations/chief-operating-officer/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $826,571 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.
Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Chief Operating Officer in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $826,571. Public versus private versus nonprofit operations roles is unpublished for Chief Operating Officer in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER spelled out, not COO
$10.5 million ($10,490,066) belongs to the exact string CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER across harvested cycles. It is not an SEC officer roster, a C-suite compensation survey, or a private-company org chart. People who wrote nearby wording — COO, chief operations officer, and operations director — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 7.9% of that title bucket. Share of CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER is not share of all 2008 receipts.
Amended individual contribution reports can move $826,571. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $10,490,066. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Chief Operating Officer donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $826,571.
737 chief-operating-officer receipts in 2008
369 donors and 737 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,122; mean per donor about $2,240. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 369 donors makes this a modest occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.
Repeat gifts add receipts. 737 is a line count, not 369 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. Public versus private versus nonprofit operations roles is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $826,571.
Spelled-out title versus the COO abbreviation
Cite $826,571 as Chief Operating Officer in 2008. Cite $10,490,066 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add the employer’s PAC to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $826,571 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.9%.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.
How to cite chief-operating-officer money in 2008
A clean footnote names occupation CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, election cycle 2008, $826,571 in itemized individual contributions, 737 receipts, and 369 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,122 per line and $2,240 per donor in the cell. If the live Chief Operating Officer donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 737 as unique workers in the trade.
This URL exists because two filters meet. Chief Operating Officer donations rolls every cycle into one CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Chief Operating Officer × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 737 receipts and $826,571. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
