How Realtor and 2008 meet in FEC itemized receipts

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string REALTOR. The other is the 2008 federal election cycle. The match is $3,548,837, built from 3,944 contributions and 2,208 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes. 2008 is a presidential-year FEC window. 3,944 contributions from 2,208 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation.

The join is a filter pair, not a causal story. REALTOR is the occupation string as typed. It is not a verified National Association of Realtors membership check. REAL ESTATE BROKER and REAL ESTATE AGENT remain other keys when those longer titles appear. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and committee-to-committee transfers are outside $3,548,837. FEC individual receipts are not USAspending.gov awards; this page does not treat campaign gifts as federal spending.

What the REALTOR label covers

Realtor donations is the occupation hub: $49,791,079 ($49.8 million) across cycles from filers who typed REALTOR. Sibling strings (REAL ESTATE, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT) are not merged here. The occupation total is not a NAR membership roll, a state real-estate license file, or a realtor PAC.

2008’s $3,548,837 sits inside $49,791,079. Because 7.1% is the cycle’s share of occupation dollars, the leftover outside 2008 is $46,242,242 (92.9%). Open the occupation hub for the all-cycle table. This tie keeps 2008 as the second dimension.

What the 2008 election cycle contributes to Realtor

The 2008 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Realtor. $3,548,837 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.

3,944 contributions from 2,208 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 $900; mean per donor about $1,607. 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 $3,548,837.

Limits of the Realtor 2008 occupation-cycle table

Matching Realtor with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Realtor donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a NAR membership roll, a state real-estate license file, or a realtor PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. REALTOR is the occupation string as typed. It is not a verified National Association of Realtors membership check. REAL ESTATE BROKER and REAL ESTATE AGENT remain other keys when those longer titles appear. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $3,548,837 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Realtor and 2008 tables

Realtor donations holds the $49,791,079 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Realtor. All occupations places REALTOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (REAL ESTATE, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and REAL ESTATE AGENT). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $3,548,837 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Realtor dollars ($49,791,079). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $3,548,837, 3,944 contributions, 2,208 donors, 7.1% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Repeat gifts inside Realtor 2008

3,944 contributions from 2,208 donors is closer to one-to-two itemized gifts per person inside this cycle filter, still not a headcount of the occupation. Name matching can split or merge people across filings, so 2,208 is an index unique-person count for this pair, not a professional-association census.

3,944 is the row count. $3,548,837 is the dollar count. Neither is a license count. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation labels remain filer-entered.
