What is the Jacksonville, FL FEC total for 2008?

$218,023 in itemized individual contributions, from 234 receipts tagged city JACKSONVILLE and cycle 2008. Source: FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The all-cycle city figure is $94,607,532, which already includes this $218,023. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and Florida state-office filings sit outside both numbers.

How does 2008 compare with all Jacksonville, FL cycles combined?

2008 is 0.2% of the Jacksonville, FL city book: $218,023 out of $94,607,532. The other 99.8% is $94,389,509 in other even-year tags. That is a dollar share inside one city key, not a rank against other cities and not a share of the national 2008 cycle, which is not in these facts.

Are Jacksonville, FL 2008 gifts limited to Florida candidates?

No. The facts identify donor city, not recipient office or recipient state. Committees anywhere in the FEC system can receive itemized gifts from JACKSONVILLE addresses. $218,023 is not a map of Florida races, and this join does not allocate dollars by party or committee.

What does 234 contributions mean for Jacksonville, FL in 2008?

It is a count of itemized contribution records that sum to $218,023. Repeat donors produce multiple rows. The mean line is about $932. Unique people, medians, and unitemized gifts are not in this packet, so 234 is not a household or voter census for Duval County, Florida.

Readers looking for a city ranking will not find one. This packet has one geography. Readers looking for a cycle ranking will not find one. This packet has one cycle. Compare other years on the live Jacksonville, FL table. Compare other cities on other tie pages listed from All FEC ties.

FEC city fields are filer-entered. JACKSONVILLE is the stored key. A donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into this page. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test.

The Florida city key is not a metro rollup

$94.6 million is the Jacksonville, FL book. $218,023 is the 2008 chapter. 234 is how many itemized lines that chapter has in this extract. None of those figures is a population statistic for Duval County, Florida.

Suburb and neighbor strings — Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, and Atlantic Beach — stay separate. those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into JACKSONVILLE. State code FL prevents a merge with a same-named city elsewhere. Repeat the pair: JACKSONVILLE + FL, not the English metro name alone.

Even-year tag 2008 on itemized receipts

Even-year tag 2008 selected these rows. 2008 is a presidential election cycle. $218,023 is the tagged sum. $94,607,532 is the untagged (all-cycle) sum for the same city key. Keep the tags straight when quoting either number.

The 2008 election cycle hub is the national mix. The Jacksonville, FL hub is the multi-cycle mix. This tie is the double filter. All FEC ties lists other double filters.

Mean, median, and missing unique-donor counts

Mean $932 = $218,023 / 234. No median is published. No mode is published. No unique-donor count is published. Those statistics would require a different extract.

City string exactness matters. JACKSONVILLE in FL is the key. Spellings that differ are other pages. those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into JACKSONVILLE.

Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city JACKSONVILLE, state FL, election cycle 2008, itemized dollars $218,023, itemized rows 234, all-cycle city dollars $94,607,532. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2008 is a presidential election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Duval County, Florida against other places.

How to read the two hubs without collapsing them: Jacksonville, FL still mixes 2008 with every other even-year tag under JACKSONVILLE. The 2008 election cycle still mixes Jacksonville, FL with every other donor city in the United States. Florida campaign finance still mixes this city with the rest of Florida. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. $218,023 exists only where city JACKSONVILLE and cycle 2008 are both true.

Committees can file from anywhere

Keep the two dollar facts paired in any citation: 2008 slice $218,023 and all-cycle city $94,607,532. Dropping the year or dropping the city changes the claim. 234 belongs with the slice, not with the city book.

No banned inference: the join does not prove influence, does not prove local races, and does not prove that donations fund USAspending. It proves two fields matched in an FEC aggregate.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around Jacksonville, FL, filers also use labels such as Jacksonville Beach, Orange Park, and Atlantic Beach; those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into JACKSONVILLE. Those dollars, if any, sit on other city keys. Unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, and Florida state-office filings sit outside $218,023 and outside $94,607,532. FEC.gov is the source; USAspending is a different statute and is not funded by these receipts.

Directory of other joins

Share language again, because it is the usual mix-up: 0.2% is $218,023 ÷ $94,607,532, not $218,023 ÷ (unknown national 2008 total). The unknown national total is why no U.S. share appears.

Row language again: 234 itemized gifts in 2008 for JACKSONVILLE. Not unique donors. Not households in Duval County, Florida. Not voters.

Arithmetic that stays inside the packet: $218,023 is 0.2% of $94,607,532; $94,389,509 is the other 99.8%; mean itemized line is about $932 ($218,023 ÷ 234). No unique-donor count, median, party split, or committee list is available here. Donor city is not recipient city. If the live Jacksonville, FL hub or the live 2008 cycle hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.
