How much did Englewood, CO donors give in 2008?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city ENGLEWOOD and cycle 2008 total $602,088 across 294 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Englewood, CO book of $65.2 million. Unitemized gifts and Colorado state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $602,088 all of Englewood’s federal political money?

No. $65.2 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city ENGLEWOOD in CO. The 2008 slice is $602,088, 0.9% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Englewood, CO hub. 294 is a 2008 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2008 Englewood total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed ENGLEWOOD with state CO. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Englewood can sit in $602,088 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Englewood, CO 2008 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $602,088 and 294 lines for ENGLEWOOD in cycle 2008, and $65.2 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

Englewood, CO political money in the 2008 election cycle

Filers listing Englewood, CO reported $602,088 in itemized individual contributions during the 2008 presidential election cycle, across 294 FEC receipts.

How Englewood meets the 2008 election cycle

$602,088 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city ENGLEWOOD with state CO, and election cycle 2008. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Englewood, CO city hub and the 2008 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Englewood, CO in 2008.

294 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored ENGLEWOOD is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $2,048 ($602,088 ÷ 294). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2008 is a presidential election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $602,088. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $602,088 for the 2008 slice and $65.2 million for the Englewood, CO book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Englewood, CO side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city ENGLEWOOD in Colorado totals $65.2 million. $602,088 is 0.9% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2008 was quiet in Englewood; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Englewood, CO table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in Arapahoe County, Colorado, south of Denver. Denver and Greenwood Village are other city fields. State CO stays on the citation so Englewood is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $65.2 million is the CO key only.

The 2008 cycle side for Colorado filers in Englewood

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2008 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 294 Englewood, CO lines in that window produced $602,088. National 2008 activity — every city — lives on the 2008 election cycle hub, not here.

Colorado campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Englewood. Do not add $602,088 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $602,088 into spending by Englewood candidates.

What $602,088 does not measure

$602,088 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city ENGLEWOOD. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Colorado file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Englewood can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed ENGLEWOOD is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Englewood. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 294 as lines that stored this string in 2008.

Reading Englewood and 2008 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $602,088 beside $65.2 million does not mean 2008 “caused” the city book or that Englewood “drove” the 2008 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Englewood, CO hub or the live 2008 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Englewood, CO, the 2008 election cycle, Colorado campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $602,088 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
