Reading $426,511 as an intersection
$426,511 is the amount that survives both filters. The employer filter is First National Bank (FIRST NATIONAL BANK). The cycle filter is 2008. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 459 lines, and the 144 donors.
Because the grouping is bank employer text that many institutions share, the cell is a text match. Household members, retirees, and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.
Use the industry hub when the question is every cycle for First National Bank. Use the 2008 election cycle when the question is every string that year. Use this tie when the question is both.
The $6,829,508 denominator
Divide $426,511 by $6,829,508 and the result is about 6.2%. The complementary share is 93.8%, or $6,402,997 outside 2008. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.
$6,829,508 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched FIRST NATIONAL BANK in any cycle in this table. The denominator $6,829,508 is every cycle stored for FIRST NATIONAL BANK, not revenue and not assets. $426,511 over $6,829,508 is about 6.2%. The leftover $6,402,997 is other even-year windows on the First National Bank hub.
$929 per contribution, $2,962 per donor
Per-gift mean $929 and per-donor mean $2,962 follow from $426,511, 459, and 144. About 3.2 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.
Contributor identities can include people who listed FIRST NATIONAL BANK as employer or occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Means: $929 per itemized contribution, $2,962 per unique donor, 3.2 contributions per donor. Report them as arithmetic on $426,511, 459, and 144. They are not medians.
Cycle tag versus calendar year
Calendar year 2008 and FEC cycle 2008 are easy to confuse. The stored tag is the cycle. Both years of the window can feed $426,511. This prose does not split them because the packet does not.
First National Bank remains one grouping among many on the 2008 hub. This join does not list siblings. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. 2008 as a cycle tag includes the odd year paired with that even year. This packet does not split those years. $426,511 is the two-year cell.
Correlation is not a spending trail
A shared year and a shared employer word are not a causal chain. $426,511 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that First National Bank as an organization directed the gifts, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.
All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record. PAC filings sit outside $426,511. So do independent expenditures and unitemized gifts. So do USAspending obligations. The page is bank employer text that many institutions share, not a single chartered bank’s PAC, an FDIC roster, or a national-bank NAICS rollup.
Using the four internal links
Four hrefs cover the join: the 2008 overlay for this string, the First National Bank industry hub, the 2008 election cycle hub, and the ties index. Together they let a reader add or remove one filter at a time without leaving FEC itemized-individual space.
This snapshot recorded $426,511 from 459 contributions and 144 donors. Live pages can move. FEC.gov is the originating filing system. Citation order that preserves the join: dollars first ($426,511), then both keys (First National Bank, 2008), then volume (459 contributions, 144 donors), then source (FEC.gov). Restating the join without new numbers: First National Bank in 2008 is $426,511 from 459 itemized individual contributions and 144 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $6,829,508 across cycles, so 2008 is about 6.2% and other windows hold $6,402,997 (93.8%). The grouping is bank employer text that many institutions share, not a single chartered bank’s PAC, an FDIC roster, or a national-bank NAICS rollup. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $929; mean per donor about $2,962; about 3.2 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2008 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $426,511.
