Interior Designer money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Interior Designer as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation INTERIOR DESIGNER and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $1,140,428, 1,048 contributions, and 527 donors. INTERIOR DESIGNER in 2008 is a two-word trade title. FEC.gov does not confirm NCIDQ credentials. The occupation hub is $11,008,458 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2008 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2008’s dollar share is 10.4% ($1,140,428 of $11,008,458). The remainder, $9,868,030, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. More than five hundred donor keys and over a thousand lines is a broad design-title cell in a presidential year. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,140,428.

The INTERIOR DESIGNER string across every cycle

$11,008,458 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. Designer, Architect, and Decorator are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $11,008,458 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Interior Designer donations for the $11,008,458 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

527 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,140,428 by 1,048 contributions yields about $1,088 per gift. Dividing by 527 donors yields about $2,164 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (1,048 ÷ 527). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

527 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2008. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 527 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell. Architect and Interior Designer are adjacent strings, not parent and child in this table. Keep the two-word label on the 2008 dollars.

What Interior Designer dollars in 2008 are not

A 10.4% share of Interior Designer-coded dollars from 2008 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. 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. Quote $1,140,428 as itemized individual receipts tagged INTERIOR DESIGNER in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Interior Designer × 2008

A complete claim names Interior Designer and 2008, then $1,140,428, 1,048 contributions, 527 donors, and 10.4% of $11,008,458, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 527 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Interior Designer and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,088 and mean per donor $2,164 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Designer as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $9,868,030 outside 2008. Most of the $11,008,458 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Designer, Architect, and Decorator are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of INTERIOR DESIGNER on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.0. That ratio is 1,048 divided by 527, not a measure of turnout.
