Investments occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

$3,379,402 as the Investments–2008 headline

Investments in 2008 is $3,379,402 on 2,027 itemized lines from 1,154 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2008 accounts for 7.4% of the Investments occupation total ($3,379,402 of $45,362,830). Most Investments-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

2,027 contributions from 1,154 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 1,154 people still used that title after 2008.

This page is not a restatement of the Investments hub or of the 2008 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $3,379,402.

Investments across cycles versus this 2008 slice

Filers who typed the noun investments produced the all-cycle occupation total of $45,362,830. INVESTMENTS is a noun used as an occupation. INVESTOR and INVESTMENT MANAGER remain separate keys. The string is not a statement of portfolio size. LobbyVault does not recode those sibling titles into this 2008 cell. The occupation is not a household-investments AUM total, a brokerage PAC, or a merge with INVESTOR.

Investments itemization inside the 2008 FEC window

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Investments. $3,379,402 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2008. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a later presidential cycle.

2,027 contributions from 1,154 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.8 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,667; mean per donor about $2,928. Those means are arithmetic on the 2008 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $3,379,402. Three numbers define the Investments × 2008 cell: dollars $3,379,402, contribution rows 2,027, unique donors 1,154. Share of occupation dollars is 7.4% of $45,362,830.

Occupation plus cycle is not causation

Matching Investments with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Investments donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a household-investments AUM total, a brokerage PAC, or a merge with INVESTOR.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTMENTS is a noun used as an occupation. INVESTOR and INVESTMENT MANAGER remain separate keys. The string is not a statement of portfolio size. LobbyVault does not recode those sibling titles into this 2008 cell. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $3,379,402 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Investments donations hub is $45,362,830; the 2008 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Investments and 2008 tables

Investments donations holds the $45,362,830 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Investments. All occupations places INVESTMENTS beside other titles without merging sibling strings (INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and PRIVATE EQUITY). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $3,379,402 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Investments dollars ($45,362,830). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $3,379,402, 2,027 contributions, 1,154 donors, 7.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

INVESTMENTS spelling and 2008

The occupation key is INVESTMENTS as stored. Nearby spellings (INVESTOR, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, and PRIVATE EQUITY) are not recoded into this join. 2008 is the cycle key. Those two keys yield $3,379,402.

If a later FEC extract restates itemized receipts, the Commission filing controls. This snapshot is the occupation-cycle pair Investments × 2008: 2,027 contributions, 1,154 donors, $3,379,402.
