Two keys: STATE OF CALIFORNIA and 2008

Drop either key and the number changes. Drop 2008 and the State Of California hub shows $8,112,855. Drop State Of California and the 2008 hub shows every other stored employer for that window — a total this packet does not publish. Keep both keys and the extract returns $585,903 on 683 lines from 285 donors. Cite FEC.gov for the intersection; do not treat either hub as a substitute for the join.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA is workplace text on a federal Schedule A line, not a tally of California state-office filings. Exact string matching is the method. CALIFORNIA, STATE OF CA, CA STATE, and named departments or campuses are not rolled into $585,903. LobbyVault does not recode filer text into NAICS. Cite FEC.gov.

Section 1 states the relationship. Later sections unpack the lifetime grouping, the receipt arithmetic, the two-year window, and the caveats. The overlay State Of California 2008 is the row view of this cell.

Lifetime State Of California dollars versus the 2008 slice

$8,112,855 minus $585,903 leaves $7,526,952 in other cycles, or 92.8% of the stored book. 7.2% is the 2008 share. A share is a quotient, not a trend claim. This packet has no prior-cycle dollar for comparison, so no percent change is stated. Other even-year amounts are not invented here.

$8,112,855 is not revenue, not assets, and not a political budget. It is the sum of itemized individual contributions that grouped to STATE OF CALIFORNIA in this table. The State Of California hub is the place to see other years. This tie exists so 2008 is not swallowed by that lifetime figure.

Volume inside the State Of California 2008 cell

About $858 per contribution and about $2,056 per donor follow from dividing $585,903 by 683 and by 285. Lines per donor average about 2.4. High line counts relative to identities usually mean repeat gifts; low line counts can mean fewer repeats. Those readings are still arithmetic, not a donor strategy. They are not medians and not a party split.

This page does not name donors. 285 is a count. Retirees and relatives can share a stored workplace. Unitemized gifts are absent. PAC disbursements are a different FEC table and are not inside $585,903.

2008 is a two-year FEC tag

On FEC.gov, 2008 is a presidential cycle covering two calendar years. Searchers who want a single November figure will not find that split here. Both years of the window can feed $585,903. Dates live on the overlay, not in this snapshot. That mechanical fact is easy to forget when a searcher wants an election-night number.

Open 2008 election cycle for the year without the State Of California filter. Open State Of California for the string without the year. Open All FEC ties for other two-dimension pages. Those four hrefs are the internal map for this join.

Caveats that travel with the dollars

The page is not a state PAC, a California campaign-finance total, or a government NAICS roll-up. Sharing State Of California and 2008 does not create a federal award. USAspending is a different dataset. Do not add $585,903 to obligation totals. Do not treat $585,903 as proof of influence. A join is two fields. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements remain outside this cell.

If FEC.gov or the live hubs later show a different $585,903, 683, or 285, the newer extract wins. Neighboring strings — CALIFORNIA, STATE OF CA, CA STATE, and named departments or campuses — remain other pages. This file stays on one employer/industry grouping and one cycle.
