Thompson Medical Co Inc and the 2008 FEC election cycle
$177,100 in itemized individual contributions is the 2008-cycle join for the employer grouping Thompson Medical Co Inc. FEC.gov aggregates count 23 contributions from 3 donors. The same string totals $24,996,215 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 0.7% of the lifetime bucket — medical-company employer text meeting a two-year window, not a physicians PAC, a pharmaceutical NAICS rollup, or Thompson Medical as a corporate treasury.

Thompson Medical Co Inc as stored text, 2008 as cycle
Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — THOMPSON MEDICAL CO INC and 2008 — sum to $177,100. 23 itemized contributions and 3 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Cite FEC.gov for this intersection.
Neither the Thompson Medical Co Inc hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Thompson Medical Co Inc is medical-company employer text, not a verified payroll file. 3 donors and 23 lines in 2008 matched that stored string. People who typed a neighboring spelling sit in other buckets. Named affiliates and related titles are other keys. This page is the exact string THOMPSON MEDICAL CO INC.
The join exists so a reader does not treat $24,996,215 (all cycles for this string) as the 2008 story, and does not treat the 2008 cycle hub as a Thompson Medical Co Inc-only list. Two filters, one cell: $177,100.
0.7% of the Thompson Medical Co Inc roll
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $24,996,215. The 2008 slice of $177,100 is about 0.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 99.3% ($24,819,115). Treating 2008 as the entire Thompson Medical Co Inc FEC story would ignore that remainder. The industry hub is the year index for this string.
Treat $24,996,215 as the denominator for the 0.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $24,996,215. Neighboring spellings are not added into either figure.
23 contributions from 3 donors
Dividing $177,100 by 23 contributions yields about $7,700 per itemized gift. Dividing by 3 donors yields about $59,033 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 7.7. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split. FEC.gov itemized individual receipts are the universe.
The packet lists 3 unique donors. That is a small identity count, not a finding that Thompson Medical Co Inc as an institution wrote $177,100. One or a few people who reused the same employer or title field can dominate a cell. Repeat gifts raise 23 contribution lines above the 3-donor count. The overlay holds the rows.
2008 as the cycle dimension
The 2008 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Thompson Medical Co Inc 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 Thompson Medical Co Inc to drop the year.
Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $177,100 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 23 contributions, the 3 unique donors, and the 0.7% share of $24,996,215.
What the Commission does not verify
Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $177,100. 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 medical-company employer text, not a physicians PAC, a pharmaceutical NAICS rollup, or Thompson Medical as a corporate treasury.
Correlation between an employer string and a cycle year is not causation. The records show a text match, a date window, 3 donors, and 23 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.
Citing Thompson Medical Co Inc and 2008 together
Start with $177,100, then Thompson Medical Co Inc 2008 for rows, then the industry hub or the 2008 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: THOMPSON MEDICAL CO INC, 2008, $177,100, 23 contributions, 3 donors, 0.7% of $24,996,215, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.
The 0.7% share, the 3-donor count, and the $7,700 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. 23 itemized contributions totaling $177,100 average about $7,700 per line. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards.
