Hyatt Corporation and the 2008 FEC election cycle

Hyatt Corporation crossed with 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Hyatt Corporation and 2008 — sum to $202,468. 46 itemized contributions and 5 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. HYATT CORPORATION is grouped employer text, including CORPORATION as stored. The 2008 filter keeps receipts in that cycle whose employer field collapsed to this key. Five donors on 46 lines is a concentrated cell, not a property-level census.

Neither the Hyatt Corporation hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. The Hyatt Corporation hub is the year index for this string. HYATT, HYATT HOTELS, and HOTELIER occupation titles stay on their own keys if filers used them. Federal hospitality awards on USAspending are a different file and are not funded by these itemized gifts.

4.5% of the Hyatt Corporation roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $4.5 million ($4,508,886). The 2008 slice of $202,468 is about 4.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.5%. Treating 2008 as the Hyatt Corporation FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $4,508,886 as the denominator for the 4.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $4,508,886.

46 contributions from 5 donors

Dividing $202,468 by 46 contributions yields about $4,401 per itemized gift. Dividing by 5 donors yields about $40,494 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 9.2. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

5 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Hyatt Corporation 2008 holds the rows.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Hyatt Corporation is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Hyatt Corporation to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $202,468 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 46 contributions, the 5 unique donors, and the 4.5% share of $4,508,886.

Limits of the Hyatt Corporation × 2008 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $202,468. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a hotel NAICS total and not a Hyatt PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 5 donors, and 46 contributions. HYATT, HYATT HOTELS, HYATT CORP, and generic HOTELIER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Hyatt Corporation and 2008 together

Start with $202,468, then Hyatt Corporation 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Hyatt Corporation, 2008, $202,468, 46 contributions, 5 donors, 4.5% of $4,508,886, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 4.5% share, the 5-donor count, and the $4,401 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.

Questions

How much did Hyatt Corporation donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $202,468 in itemized individual contributions for the Hyatt Corporation grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 46 contributions and 5 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $4,508,886 all-cycle figure. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

What share of Hyatt Corporation FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $4,508,886. The 2008 cell of $202,468 is about 4.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.5% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Hyatt Corporation hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Hyatt Corporation’s PAC or an official account?

No. $202,468 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Hyatt Corporation. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a hotel NAICS total and not a Hyatt PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Hyatt Corporation 2008 join?

Open Hyatt Corporation 2008 for the cycle overlay, Hyatt Corporation for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows. Original filings remain on FEC.gov.
