Managing Director political money — 2008 cycle

Managing Director as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation MANAGING DIRECTOR and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $5,636,878, 3,733 contributions, and 1,712 donors. Managing Director is a title people type on Form 3 receipts. FEC.gov does not confirm bank rank or partnership agreements. The occupation hub is $67,312,479 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 8.4% ($5,636,878 of $67,312,479). The remainder, $61,675,601, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A few thousand lines from under two thousand donors with a four-figure mean is a thinner, higher-dollar cell than Teacher or Student in the same 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 $5,636,878.

The Managing Director string across every cycle on file

$67,312,479 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2008. DIRECTOR, MANAGING PARTNER, and MD are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $67,312,479 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Managing Director donations for the $67,312,479 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.

1,712 donors and a higher 2008 mean gift

Dividing $5,636,878 by 3,733 contributions yields about $1,510 per gift. Dividing by 1,712 donors yields about $3,293 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.2 (3,733 ÷ 1,712). Those ratios describe this string in 2008, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

1,712 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 1,712 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2008 receipts beside this cell.

What 8.4% of Managing Director dollars is not

A 8.4% share of Managing Director-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 $5,636,878 as itemized individual receipts tagged MANAGING DIRECTOR in 2008, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Managing Director × 2008

A complete claim names Managing Director and 2008, then $5,636,878, 3,733 contributions, 1,712 donors, and 8.4% of $67,312,479, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 1,712 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Managing Director and 2008—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,510 and mean per donor $3,293 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, cycle hub, and Chairman as a sibling title

The occupation hub still holds $61,675,601 outside 2008. Most of the $67,312,479 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. DIRECTOR, MANAGING PARTNER, and MD are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of MANAGING DIRECTOR on this page. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.2. That ratio is 3,733 divided by 1,712, not a measure of turnout.
