Rye, NY political money — 2008 cycle

$220,200 at the Rye, NY × 2008 intersection

At the intersection of Rye, NY and the 2008 FEC cycle, itemized individual contributions sum to $220,200. The count of those itemized records is 126. Divide the two numbers and the mean line is about $1,748. Keep that ratio in its lane: it is $220,200 divided by 126, not a household survey and not a median gift.

Across cycles, RYE in NY totals $33,915,812. $220,200 is 0.6% of that book; $33,695,612 is the other 99.4%. A small or large share does not grade the city. It only locates this even-year tag inside a multi-cycle stack. Later or earlier cycles for the same city string live on other tie URLs.

2008 is a presidential election cycle. Federal cycles are two-year FEC windows, not a January-to-December census of Westchester County, New York. National 2008 activity — every city — lives on the cycle hub. New York-wide activity lives on the state hub. This page keeps the filter pair.

All-cycle Rye, NY dollars versus this window

$33,915,812 answers “how much itemized individual money has this city string produced in the extract?” $220,200 answers “how much of that carried cycle 2008?” Those are different questions. 0.6% is the second divided by the first. 99.4% is the rest.

Keep NY on the city name. Rye in another state would be a different slug and a different dollar stack. Harrison, Port Chester, and Rye Brook illustrate the split: those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into RYE. The Rye, NY hub remains the all-cycle door; this URL remains the 2008 door.

Presidential versus midterm labeling for 2008

A presidential FEC cycle: a two-year window labeled by its even year that includes a presidential general election. Inside it, Rye, NY itemized $220,200. Outside it, the same city string still has $33,695,612 in other tags. The presidential label does not allocate $220,200 by presidential versus down-ballot committees; that split is not in the packet.

Two-year windows overlap calendar years. A gift dated in the odd year before 2008 can still carry the 2008 tag. Do not treat $220,200 as “calendar 2008 only.” Treat it as FEC cycle 2008 for city RYE.

Filer-entered city strings

What is out: unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and New York state-office filings. What is in: itemized federal individual contributions with city RYE and cycle 2008. $220,200 and 126 describe only the in-set.

Filer-entered cities split metros. Harrison, Port Chester, and Rye Brook show the split. those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into RYE. Quote RYE as stored. For PHILA, that stored token is an abbreviation, not a recode of every Philadelphia spelling.

Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city RYE, state NY, election cycle 2008, itemized dollars $220,200, itemized rows 126, all-cycle city dollars $33,915,812. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2008 is a presidential election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Westchester County, New York against other places.

What the packet leaves out

Four hrefs ship with the packet: /cities/ny-rye/, /election-cycles/2008/, /states/NY/, and /ties/. Those are the only internal destinations used here. Anchors match the packet: Rye, NY; 2008 election cycle; New York campaign finance; All FEC ties.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around Rye, NY, filers also use labels such as Harrison, Port Chester, and Rye Brook; those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into RYE. Those dollars, if any, sit on other city keys. Unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, and New York state-office filings sit outside $220,200 and outside $33,915,812. FEC.gov is the source; USAspending is a different statute and is not funded by these receipts.

Arithmetic that stays inside the packet: $220,200 is 0.6% of $33,915,812; $33,695,612 is the other 99.4%; mean itemized line is about $1,748 ($220,200 ÷ 126). No unique-donor count, median, party split, or committee list is available here. Donor city is not recipient city. If the live Rye, NY hub or the live 2008 cycle hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

Rye, NY 2008 donations: how much is itemized at the FEC?

$220,200 across 126 itemized individual contribution records. Citywide across cycles the same string is $33,915,812. Unitemized federal gifts and New York state filings are outside both numbers. Source: FEC.gov. 2008 is 0.6% of that city book by dollars. This is the city-cycle join, not a unique-donor census.

Does the $33.9 million Rye, NY total equal the 2008 cycle?

No. $33.9 million ($33,915,812) is every cycle. 2008 is $220,200 (0.6%). Subtract to get $33,695,612 in other cycles. Adding $220,200 to the city book would double-count this window. Use the city hub for the stack and this tie page for the 2008 slice.

Where did Rye, NY 2008 contributions go?

This join does not list recipient committees, parties, or offices. Donor city RYE is an address field. Recipients can be anywhere the FEC accepts filings. $220,200 is not allocated in these facts and is not a map of New York campaigns.

Is 126 the number of Rye, NY donors in 2008?

No. 126 is itemized receipts, not unique donors. One person can appear on several lines. Mean about $1,748 per line uses $220,200 ÷ 126. A unique-donor census is not in the packet, and unitemized gifts are omitted. Treat 126 as Schedule A lines for this city string.
