Executive Assistant political money — 2008 cycle

Executive Assistant as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $735,339, 512 contributions, and 297 donors. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT is a workplace title. FEC.gov does not confirm who the filer assisted or whether the gift was reimbursed. The occupation hub is $5,504,631 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2008 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2008’s dollar share is 13.4% ($735,339 of $5,504,631). The remainder, $4,769,292, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 512 lines from 297 donors is 13.4% of a relatively small occupation total—a larger year share than many bigger rolls in this slice. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $735,339.

A smaller all-cycle total with a heavy 2008 share

$5,504,631 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. Assistant, Administrative Assistant, and Office Manager are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $5,504,631 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Executive Assistant donations for the $5,504,631 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. A 13.4% share describes this spelling’s modest denominator, not that assistants gave more than executives.

297 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $735,339 by 512 contributions yields about $1,436 per gift. Dividing by 297 donors yields about $2,476 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.7 (512 ÷ 297). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

297 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2008. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 297 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell.

What 13.4% of Executive Assistant dollars is not

A 13.4% share of Executive Assistant-coded dollars from 2008 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $735,339 as itemized individual receipts tagged EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Executive Assistant × 2008

A complete claim names Executive Assistant and 2008, then $735,339, 512 contributions, 297 donors, and 13.4% of $5,504,631, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 297 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Executive Assistant and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,436 and mean per donor $2,476 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Assistant as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $4,769,292 outside 2008. Most of the $5,504,631 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Assistant, Administrative Assistant, and Office Manager are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 1.7. That ratio is 512 divided by 297, not a measure of turnout.
