State of Michigan and the 2008 FEC cycle

Why State of Michigan and 2008 share one cell

This page is the product of two keys, not a restatement of one hub. Filter individual receipts to STATE OF MICHIGAN and to cycle 2008 and the Commission’s aggregates return $242,539. 319 contributions and 133 donors sit inside that cell. Recipients are not named here. PAC disbursements and independent expenditures are other tables. FEC.gov is the source.

Open State Of Michigan and the year filter comes off. Open 2008 election cycle and the employer filter comes off. Only the overlay State Of Michigan 2008 keeps both. State of Michigan is state-government employer text. MICHIGAN, STATE OF MI, and named Michigan departments are other keys. A neighboring spelling is a different join even if a searcher thinks the words are synonyms.

$3,910,959 is the lifetime total for this stored string. Folding 2008 into that figure, or stretching $242,539 across every cycle, mixes two different questions. The cell answers only the paired question. 2008 is a presidential even-year window on FEC.gov; that calendar label does not explain the dollar cell.

2008 as a slice of $3,910,959

6.2% is $242,539 divided by $3,910,959. That arithmetic uses only packet facts. The leftover 93.8% equals $3,668,420 and lives on other cycle pages for State of Michigan. A mid-single-digit share (or any other share this packet happens to show) is not a peak-year claim.

$3,910,959 is a sum of itemized individual receipts grouped to STATE OF MICHIGAN across cycles in this table. It is not assets, payroll, or a federal award total. Sharing a calendar year with USAspending records does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. Keep the 6.2% attached to State of Michigan and 2008 together.

What 319 lines and 133 identities mean

Dividing $242,539 by 319 contributions yields about $760 per itemized gift. Dividing by 133 donors yields about $1,824 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.4. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical-gift claim.

133 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 State Of Michigan 2008 holds the rows.

Reading State of Michigan against the 2008 hub

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

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $242,539 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 319 contributions, the 133 unique donors, and the 6.2% share of $3,910,959.

Limits on the State of Michigan 2008 cell

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $242,539. 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 state-government employer text, not a Michigan PAC, not state-budget outlays, and not a Michigan geography filter on donor address.

Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 133 donors, and 319 contributions. MICHIGAN, STATE OF MI, and named Michigan departments are other keys. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

How to quote the State of Michigan 2008 join

Start with $242,539, then State Of Michigan 2008 for rows, then State Of Michigan or 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: STATE OF MICHIGAN, 2008, $242,539, 319 contributions, 133 donors, 6.2% of $3,910,959, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 6.2% share, the 133-donor count, and the $760 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. This prose is a packet snapshot. 319 itemized contributions totaling $242,539 average about $760 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
