Credit Suisse political money — 2008 cycle

Why Credit Suisse and 2008 share a page

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Credit Suisse and even-year election cycle 2008. $687,985 is the intersection. $3,880,425 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 451 is the 2008 line count. The 2008 donor count is 266 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

Open the Credit Suisse 2008 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Credit Suisse industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2008 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $687,985 when the sentence is about 2008. Quote $3,880,425 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

The 2008 slice for Credit Suisse

In 2008, receipts tagged Credit Suisse sum to $687,985 on 451 itemized lines from 266 donors. About $1,525 per receipt is $687,985 divided by 451. About $2,586 per harvested donor is $687,985 divided by 266. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2008 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

Two hundred sixty-six donors and 451 receipts produced $687,985 in 2008, a large share of a $3,880,425 all-cycle grouping. Credit Suisse is the employer string as indexed for this key, including whatever variants collapsed into it in the harvest. Successor-firm names, if typed differently in later cycles, sit on other pages. This join is the 2008 cut of this label.

The Credit Suisse grouping beyond 2008

The parent grouping indexes $3,880,425 ($3.9 million rounded). 2008’s $687,985 is 17.7% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $687,985. Do not invent a 2006 or 2010 total from these facts.

Employer strings are filer-entered. Credit Suisse captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. Spelling variants, subsidiaries, and occupation words that look similar sit on other keys unless they matched. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with Credit Suisse are a different schedule and are not inside $687,985 or $3,880,425.

17.7% is $687,985 divided by $3,880,425. Rounding to $687,985 and $3.9 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Limits of an industry × cycle join

This join is not a claim that Credit Suisse bought an election in 2008. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 266 donors in the 2008 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $687,985. State-office campaigns never enter $687,985. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 451 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Credit Suisse 2008 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing Credit Suisse in 2008 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2008 is a different page — the 2008 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Credit Suisse in 2008

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Credit Suisse, election cycle 2008, $687,985 on 451 itemized individual contributions from 266 donors, which is 17.7% of the grouping’s harvested $3,880,425 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Then point to the Credit Suisse 2008 overlay, the Credit Suisse industry page, the 2008 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $1,525 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 266 donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees.

Keep the unit explicit. Credit Suisse is an employer/industry string. 2008 is an FEC two-year cycle. $687,985 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 266 donors. 451 is the line count. $3,880,425 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.

Reading Credit Suisse next to the 2008 cycle index

The Credit Suisse 2008 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Credit Suisse industry page is the parent grouping at $3,880,425. The 2008 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $687,985. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $687,985 into USAspending obligations.

A later bulk file can restate $687,985 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2008 as an FEC even-year cycle, Credit Suisse as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 266 donors as a harvested donor count on 451 lines. That is the whole join: Credit Suisse × 2008 = $687,985.

Do not print a 2008 ‘share of US politics’ statistic from $687,985. The denominator for 17.7% is $3,880,425, the Credit Suisse grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.

No. The grouping indexes $3,880,425 across harvested cycles. $687,985 is the 2008 cut only. Other even-year hubs hold other cycle integers.
