Kenilworth, IL itemized giving inside the 2008 cycle
Kenilworth, IL itemized $221,315 inside the 2008 FEC presidential cycle. 97 contribution records carry that total. The same city label, all cycles, is $27.9 million ($27,866,773). This page is the intersection, written so neither hub is mistaken for the join.
Mean itemized size is about $2,282 per row. Repeat givers, bundled events, and office addresses sit in the same 97-line stack. Unique people are not counted in the packet. Employer and occupation strings are other joins.
Cite FEC.gov. Do not paste $221,315 into a USAspending award narrative. Itemized campaign receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
City aggregate $27.9 million across cycles
All-cycle Kenilworth, IL itemized individual contributions: $27,866,773. 2008 slice: $221,315 (0.8%). Other cycles: $27,645,458 (99.2%). Those three numbers are closed arithmetic on the packet. They do not include unitemized gifts.
The city sits in Cook County, Illinois. those North Shore neighbors are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into KENILWORTH. Donor city is still not recipient city. A IL address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Illinois candidate.
What a presidential cycle means on FEC.gov
A presidential cycle on FEC.gov is still a two-year reporting window. Kenilworth, IL donors itemized $221,315 in that window. 97 records. 0.8% of the city book. Those are the cycle-side facts in the packet.
Do not upgrade presidential into a narrative about national mood, local turnout, or Illinois competitiveness. The packet has dollars, a row count, a city string, and a cycle year.
97 is a receipt count
This page does not rank Kenilworth against other cities, does not call 2008 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Illinois. Two columns matched. The city of the contributor is not the city of the campaign.
A IL address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Illinois candidate. A candidate who lives in Kenilworth can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. City labels are filer-entered.
Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city KENILWORTH, state IL, election cycle 2008, itemized dollars $221,315, itemized rows 97, all-cycle city dollars $27,866,773. 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 Cook County, Illinois against other places.
How to read the two hubs without collapsing them: Kenilworth, IL still mixes 2008 with every other even-year tag under KENILWORTH. The 2008 election cycle still mixes Kenilworth, IL with every other donor city in the United States. Illinois campaign finance still mixes this city with the rest of Illinois. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. $221,315 exists only where city KENILWORTH and cycle 2008 are both true.
