Financial Advisor occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

How Financial Advisor and 2008 meet in FEC itemized receipts

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string FINANCIAL ADVISOR. The other is the 2008 federal election cycle. The match is $1,975,681, built from 2,305 contributions and 1,181 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2008 is a presidential-year FEC window. 2,305 contributions from 1,181 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. FINANCIAL ADVISOR is the literal occupation field. Nearby titles remain on their own occupation pages. The 2008 join does not verify licenses, Series exams, or whether the donor still advised clients. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $1,975,681. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

What the FINANCIAL ADVISOR label covers

Financial Advisor donations is the occupation hub: $27,416,858 ($27.4 million) across cycles from filers who typed FINANCIAL ADVISOR. Sibling strings (FINANCIAL PLANNER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, and WEALTH MANAGER) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a FINRA representative census, a CFP headcount, or a broker-dealer PAC.

2008’s $1,975,681 sits inside $27,416,858. Because 7.2% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2008 is $25,441,177 (92.8%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2008 as the second dimension.

What the 2008 election cycle contributes to Financial Advisor

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Financial Advisor. $1,975,681 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2008. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a later presidential cycle.

2,305 contributions from 1,181 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.0 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $857; mean per donor about $1,673. Those means are arithmetic on the 2008 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $1,975,681. Three numbers define the Financial Advisor × 2008 cell: dollars $1,975,681, contribution rows 2,305, unique donors 1,181. Share of occupation dollars is 7.2% of $27,416,858.

Limits of the Financial Advisor 2008 occupation-cycle table

Matching Financial Advisor with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Financial Advisor donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a FINRA representative census, a CFP headcount, or a broker-dealer PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCIAL ADVISOR is the literal occupation field. Nearby titles remain on their own occupation pages. The 2008 join does not verify licenses, Series exams, or whether the donor still advised clients. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $1,975,681 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Financial Advisor and 2008 tables

All occupations places FINANCIAL ADVISOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (FINANCIAL PLANNER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, and WEALTH MANAGER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $1,975,681 is not added to a different year.
