Rose Associates and the 2008 FEC election cycle

Rose Associates crossed with 2008

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Rose Associates and 2008 — sum to $337,997. The cell holds 159 itemized contributions and 17 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Rose Associates hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Seventeen donors and 159 lines in 2008 describe a concentrated named-real-estate-employer cell. That is more than a one-person pile and far from a franchise-scale donor count. The Associates suffix is part of the stored string. Dropping it would point at a different key. ROSE ASSOCIATES INC, ROSE ASSOCIATES LLC, and generic REAL ESTATE occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

8.6% of the Rose Associates roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,943,688 ($3.9 million). The 2008 slice of $337,997 is about 8.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 91.4%. Treating 2008 as the Rose Associates FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $3,943,688 as the denominator for the 8.6% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $3,943,688.

17 donors, 159 lines

Dividing $337,997 by 159 contributions yields about $2,126 per itemized gift. Dividing by 17 donors yields about $19,882 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 9.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

17 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace or title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. The overlay for Rose Associates 2008 holds the rows.

2008 as the cycle dimension

The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer for that window. Rose Associates is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2008 election cycle to drop the employer filter and Rose Associates to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $337,997 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number. The overlay is where dates become visible. This join publishes the cycle total, the 159 contributions, the 17 unique donors, and the 8.6% share of $3,943,688.

Limits of the Rose Associates × 2008 join

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $337,997. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a calendar year does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is not a real-estate NAICS total and not a Rose Associates PAC.

Correlation between an employer or occupation string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 17 donors, and 159 contributions. ROSE ASSOCIATES INC, ROSE ASSOCIATES LLC, and generic REAL ESTATE occupation strings are other keys if stored separately. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Citing Rose Associates and 2008 together

Start with $337,997, then Rose Associates 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: Rose Associates, 2008, $337,997, 159 contributions, 17 donors, 8.6% of $3,943,688, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 8.6% share, the 17-donor count, and the $2,126 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live overlay control.
