Joining REAL ESTATE BROKER to the 2008 cycle
Real Estate Broker in 2008 is $2,593,024 on 3,505 itemized lines from 1,940 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2008 is a thin slice of Real Estate Broker occupation dollars: 5.8% ($2,593,024 of $44,876,243). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.
3,505 contributions from 1,940 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 1,940 people still used that title after 2008.
This page is not a restatement of the Real Estate Broker hub or of the 2008 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $2,593,024.
Reading REAL ESTATE BROKER without merging sibling titles
Filers who typed real estate broker produced the all-cycle occupation total of $44,876,243. REAL ESTATE BROKER is the three-word title. REALTOR and REAL ESTATE AGENT remain other keys. The 2008 join does not verify broker licenses or whether the filer supervised agents. Association PACs stay in committee totals. The occupation is not a state broker-license file, a NAR roll, or a merge with REALTOR.
Reading 2008 without treating it as all Real Estate Broker money
The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Real Estate Broker. $2,593,024 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.
3,505 contributions from 1,940 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 $740; mean per donor about $1,337. 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 $2,593,024.
How not to read Real Estate Broker money in 2008
Matching Real Estate Broker with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Real Estate Broker donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a state broker-license file, a NAR roll, or a merge with REALTOR.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REAL ESTATE BROKER is the three-word title. REALTOR and REAL ESTATE AGENT remain other keys. The 2008 join does not verify broker licenses or whether the filer supervised agents. Association PACs stay in committee totals. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $2,593,024 funded USAspending obligations.
