AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION PAC

College PAC versus the rest of the Surgeon book

About one-quarter of Surgeon itemized dollars (24.3%) landed on the College PAC. $13,910,387 went to candidate committees and other PACs. A college PAC can be a large dollar join without capturing the occupation’s candidate giving.

18,002 receipts at mean $249 sit between sparse megadonor joins and high-count labor PACs. The packet has no unique-donor count and no specialty split inside Surgeon—general, orthopedic, and plastic can share the same occupation stamp if that is what was typed.

SURGEON as a self-reported stamp

Surgeon’s occupation total is $18,386,780. MD, physician, and named-specialty strings can exist as other keys. They are not recoded into Surgeon. Board certification is not an FEC field.

A filer can list Surgeon and give only to candidates, never appearing in $4,476,393. A filer can list a narrower specialty and give to C00382424, never appearing in this occupation slice. Both absences are expected.

Quote Surgeon for the occupation-wide $18,386,780 and quote AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION PAC (C00382424) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $4,476,393 across 18,002 itemized receipts, 24.3% of the occupation book, mean $249. Remainder $13,910,387 (75.7%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Itemized individual contributions only; independent expenditures are outside the source note. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $4,476,393 to $18,386,780. Do not treat 18,002 as unique donors.
