Managing Partner occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Managing Partner receipts isolated to 2008

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation MANAGING PARTNER and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $1,784,634 ($1.8 million), 936 contributions, and 558 donors. 8.4% of Managing Partner occupation dollars ($21,284,180) fall in 2008.

2008 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2008 on FEC.gov, a presidential-year window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2008 dollars. MANAGING PARTNER is used in law, accounting, and investment firms. The FEC field does not name the industry. PARTNER and MANAGING DIRECTOR stay on other occupation pages. The 2008 join is the typed title plus the cycle, nothing else.

$21,284,180 is the Managing Partner all-cycle total

On the occupation side, $21,284,180 is the Managing Partner total across cycles. Sibling labels (PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, and GENERAL PARTNER) stay on other pages. Managing Partner is not a law-firm partnership census, a PE general-partner count, or a firm PAC.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $21,284,180. The Managing Partner donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $1,784,634 is a slice of. Dividing $1,784,634 by 936 receipts yields about $1,907 per line; dividing by 558 donors yields about $3,198 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

2008 cycle dollars versus the Managing Partner occupation total

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Managing Partner. $1,784,634 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.

936 contributions from 558 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. About 1.7 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $1,907; mean per donor about $3,198. 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 $1,784,634. Three numbers define the Managing Partner × 2008 cell: dollars $1,784,634, contribution rows 936, unique donors 558. Share of occupation dollars is 8.4% of $21,284,180.

Public-record limits for Managing Partner in 2008

Matching Managing Partner with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Managing Partner donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a law-firm partnership census, a PE general-partner count, or a firm PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. MANAGING PARTNER is used in law, accounting, and investment firms. The FEC field does not name the industry. PARTNER and MANAGING DIRECTOR stay on other occupation pages. The 2008 join is the typed title plus the cycle, nothing else. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $1,784,634 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Managing Partner donations hub is $21,284,180; the 2008 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Managing Partner and 2008 tables

Managing Partner donations holds the $21,284,180 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Managing Partner. All occupations places MANAGING PARTNER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (PARTNER, MANAGING DIRECTOR, and GENERAL PARTNER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $1,784,634 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Managing Partner dollars ($21,284,180). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $1,784,634, 936 contributions, 558 donors, 8.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Managing Partner 2008 versus other LobbyVault cuts

Occupation-by-state joins for Managing Partner are different pages and different dollars. This tie is occupation-by-cycle. $1,784,634 is not a state total and not a committee total.

All FEC ties is the inventory for those other pairs. All occupations is the inventory for titles. Neither page should be summed into $1,784,634.
