Exec abbreviation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Donors coded EXEC accounted for $406,125 ($406,125) in the 2008 FEC cycle, from 350 itemized contributions and 187 donors. Occupation-wide, Exec is $6,792,051. 2008 accounts for 6.0% of the Exec occupation total ($406,125 of $6,792,051). Most Exec-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. LobbyVault joins the occupation table to the cycle table. It does not rank occupations by influence.

Key figures

  • $406,125 joins the Exec occupation string to the 2008 FEC cycle.
  • 350 contributions from 187 donors produced that cell.
  • 2008 is about 6.0% of the occupation’s $6,792,051 lifetime total.
  • EXEC is a filer-entered title, not a 10-K officer list.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

Exec as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation EXEC and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $406,125 ($406,125), 350 contributions, and 187 donors. 6.0% of Exec occupation dollars ($6,792,051) fall in 2008. 2008 is a presidential-year abbreviation cell: 350 receipts from 187 donors, a four-letter stamp kept separate from spelled-out EXECUTIVE.

Exec is a four-letter officer abbreviation as typed, not a C-suite census. Nearby strings — EXECUTIVE, CEO, PRESIDENT, and COO — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $406,125 or $6,792,051. Filers who spelled Executive may sit in a different occupation bucket. The FEC file does not verify a sitting officer appointment or merge EXEC with EXECUTIVE.

The EXEC abbreviation across cycles

On the occupation side, $6,792,051 ($6.8 million) is the Exec total across cycles. The 2008 cell is 6.0% of that roll; the remaining $6,385,926 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Exec is not proof of a public-company officer and not a named-firm org chart. Exec is not a 10-K officer list, a spelled-out EXECUTIVE recode, or a firm PAC.

Open Exec donations for the $6,792,051 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2008 cell, 350 itemized contributions map to 187 donors. That is about 1.9 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $1,160; dollars per donor average about $2,172. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, the general election, and leftover receipts from adjacent months can share the same even-year label. This packet does not split dollars by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Exec row. 187 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $406,125.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $406,125 attached to 2008 and $6,792,051 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($6,385,926) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $406,125 with both nouns: Exec and 2008.

What an Exec cycle join cannot claim

Matching Exec with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Exec donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a 10-K officer list, a spelled-out EXECUTIVE recode, or a firm PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $406,125. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked Exec hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Exec donations holds the $6,792,051 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Exec. All occupations places EXEC beside other titles without merging sibling strings (EXECUTIVE, CEO, PRESIDENT, and COO). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $406,125 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Exec dollars ($6,792,051). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $406,125, 350 contributions, 187 donors, 6.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $406,125; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $6,792,051. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Exec-labeled donors give in 2008?
The Exec grouping’s 2008 cell is $406,125 in itemized individual contributions, from 350 contributions and 187 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $6,792,051 all-cycle occupation total.
Is Exec the same as Executive or CEO?
This join uses the abbreviation EXEC as stored. Executive, CEO, President, and COO are other keys. The FEC file does not confirm a current C-suite seat or recode the spelled-out title into EXEC. People who typed both strings across filings can split across hubs.
What share of Exec FEC money fell in 2008?
About 6.0%. $406,125 divided by $6,792,051 is the 2008 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $6,385,926 on the occupation hub. See the Exec occupation hub for other cycles and the 2008 cycle hub for other strings.
Does Exec 2008 money fund federal awards?
No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $406,125 is itemized receipts tagged EXEC in 2008, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
