Government Relations political money — 2008 cycle

2008 receipts tagged Government Relations

LobbyVault stores this URL because two tables share rows: the Government Relations occupation aggregate and the 2008 election-cycle aggregate. The overlap is $696,329 on 876 itemized individual lines from 354 donor keys. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS is the occupation as typed. This join does not recode the label into an LDA registrant list. In-house versus contract work is unpublished for this string. Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Government Relations in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $696,329.

Share of GOVERNMENT RELATIONS is not share of all 2008 receipts. 6.9% describes this title bucket only. 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. Government Relations in 2010 and 2012 are other cycle cells. Quote $696,329 with 2008 attached.

The occupation-side denominator $10,141,599

Open Government Relations donations for the $10,141,599 roll. That hub still holds $9,445,270 outside 2008. Most of the occupation total is not this cycle’s cell when the year share is 6.9%. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year.

Government Relations in 2008 is still the same filer-entered string as every other year on the occupation hub. What changes is the two-year clock and the harvested sums $696,329, 876, and 354. Keep both sides of the name when the dollars are quoted.

Mean gift $795 and 2.5 gifts per donor

876 is a line count, not 354 one-time gifts. Repeat itemization inside the same two-year window raises the gifts-per-donor figure to about 2.5. Mean dollars remain about $795 per line and $1,967 per donor in the cell. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by GOVERNMENT RELATIONS.

Donor keys are not named on this page. The packet supplies counts, not identities. Do not invent contributors, employers, or committees to explain $696,329. Lobbyist, government affairs, public affairs, and legislative liaison are other keys when those are the words on the form. The 2008 election cycle hub is the next click for named committees in that year, still without attaching those names to this occupation cell unless the live table shows the join.

Government Relations is not an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster

Government Relations in 2008 is not an LDA registrant list or a Senate lobbyist roster. It is not a Lobbying Disclosure Act registrant list, a Senate LDA roster, or a firm letterhead census. The harvested occupation field is the string GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. Recodes into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class are researcher-built and are not this join.

Unitemized money never appears in $696,329. In-kind goods and earmarks without this occupation string are outside the cell. Committee PACs and other committee filings sit on committee reports, not on this individual-contribution occupation join. Keep itemized in the sentence.
