Chiropractor political money — 2008 cycle
$495,786 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the occupation string Chiropractor. FEC.gov aggregates count 656 contributions from 235 donors. The same stored string totals $9,588,355 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 5.2% of the lifetime bucket — filer-entered form text meeting a two-year window, not a chiropractic PAC, a state-board licensee file, or a health-care NAICS total.
Key figures
- Chiropractor × 2008 is $495,786 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 656 contributions from 235 donors.
- 2008 is about 5.2% of the grouping’s $9,588,355 all-cycle total.
- The label is filer-entered form text, not a chiropractic PAC, a state-board licensee file, or a health-care NAICS total.
- FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.
Chiropractor as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — CHIROPRACTOR and 2008 — sum to $495,786. 656 itemized contributions and 235 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 Chiropractor hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Chiropractor is occupation string, not a verified payroll file. 235 donors and 656 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. CHIROPRACTOR is the stored title. DC and CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN are other keys. People who typed DC, CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN, CHIROPRACTIC, and named clinics sit in other buckets. This page is the exact string CHIROPRACTOR.
LobbyVault keeps this two-key page so a reader can open Chiropractor 2008 without treating the industry hub as a cycle total or the 2008 cycle hub as an employer total. The overlay at the Chiropractor 2008 path holds the itemized rows for this cell. This prose publishes the packet snapshot: $495,786, 656 contributions, 235 donors, and 5.2% of $9,588,355.
5.2% of the Chiropractor roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $9,588,355. The 2008 slice of $495,786 is about 5.2% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.8% ($9,092,569). Treating 2008 as the entire Chiropractor FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $9,588,355 as the denominator for the 5.2% 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 $9,588,355. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
656 contributions from 235 donors
Dividing $495,786 by 656 contributions yields about $756 per itemized gift. Dividing by 235 donors yields about $2,110 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.8. 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.
235 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 $495,786.
2008 as the cycle dimension
The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Chiropractor 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 Chiropractor to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $495,786 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 $495,786. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix beyond the stored string CHIROPRACTOR.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $495,786. 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 chiropractic PAC, a state-board licensee file, or a health-care NAICS total.
Correlation between a stored occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 235 donors, and 656 contributions. DC, CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN, CHIROPRACTIC, and named clinics are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. If the live hubs disagree with $495,786 or 235 donors, the newer FEC extract controls.
Citing Chiropractor and 2008 together
Start with $495,786, then Chiropractor 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Chiropractor, 2008, $495,786, 656 contributions, 235 donors, 5.2% of $9,588,355, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string CHIROPRACTOR.
The 5.2% share, the 235-donor count, and the $756 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.
