Insurance Broker donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Insurance Broker × 2008

INSURANCE BROKER plus cycle 2008 equals $903,642. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2008. Insurance agent, insurance, underwriter, and producer are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NAIC producer census, a state producer-license file, or a carrier payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Life versus property-casualty versus benefits brokerage is unpublished for Insurance Broker in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

INSURANCE BROKER, not the generic insurance key

$16.6 million ($16,637,368) belongs to the exact string INSURANCE BROKER across harvested cycles. It is not an NAIC producer census, a state producer-license file, or a carrier payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — insurance agent, insurance, underwriter, and producer — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 5.4% of that title bucket. Share of INSURANCE BROKER is not share of all 2008 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $903,642. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $16,637,368. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Insurance Broker donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $903,642.

1,118 insurance-broker receipts in 2008

630 donors and 1,118 receipts — about 1.8 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $808; mean per donor about $1,434. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 630 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,118 is a line count, not 630 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. Life versus property-casualty versus benefits brokerage is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by INSURANCE BROKER. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $903,642.

Broker string versus carrier PACs

Cite $903,642 as Insurance Broker in 2008. Cite $16,637,368 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add insurer and independent-agent PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $903,642 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.4%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode INSURANCE BROKER into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite insurance-broker money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation INSURANCE BROKER, election cycle 2008, $903,642 in itemized individual contributions, 1,118 receipts, and 630 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $808 per line and $1,434 per donor in the cell. If the live Insurance Broker donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,118 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Insurance Broker donations rolls every cycle into one INSURANCE BROKER running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Insurance Broker × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,118 receipts and $903,642. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
