AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NEUROSURGERYPAC)
Occupation Neurosurgeon accounts for $2.2 million ($2,211,425) to AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NEUROSURGERYPAC) (C00413955). 2,759 itemized receipts sit in the join, mean $802. That is 36.6% of Neurosurgeon’s $6.0 million ($6,036,706) occupation-wide book—a specialty PAC, not a recode of the broader Surgeon occupation key.
Key figures
- Neurosurgeon → NeurosurgeryPAC (C00413955): $2,211,425 in 2,759 itemized receipts.
- 36.6% of Neurosurgeon’s $6,036,706 occupation-wide book.
- Surgeon to ACS PAC is a separate occupation-committee join.
- Mean $802 is not unique donors.
A specialty PAC beside the Surgeon title
36.6% of Neurosurgeon itemized dollars landed on NeurosurgeryPAC. $3,825,281 went to other federal committees. Surgeon to ACS PAC is a sibling medical join; those dollars are not inside $6,036,706 unless stored as NEUROSURGEON.
2,759 receipts at mean $802 is a thicker check size than several high-count college PACs. Unique donors are unpublished. Spine versus cranial practice is not a packet split.

NEUROSURGEON as typed
The occupation-wide total is $6,036,706. Neurological surgeon, surgeon, and MD can exist as other strings. They are not inside $6,036,706 unless stored as NEUROSURGEON. Board certification is not an FEC field.
A filer can list Neurosurgeon and never appear in $2,211,425. A filer can list Surgeon on C00413955 and sit outside this occupation slice.
Quote Neurosurgeon for the occupation-wide $6,036,706 and quote AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NEUROSURGERYPAC) (C00413955) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $2,211,425 across 2,759 itemized receipts, 36.6% of the occupation book, mean $802. Remainder $3,825,281 (63.4%) 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 $2,211,425 to $6,036,706. Do not treat 2,759 as unique donors.

Questions
- How much did neurosurgeons give to NeurosurgeryPAC?
- $2,211,425 in 2,759 itemized contributions from occupation Neurosurgeon to C00413955. That is 36.6% of Neurosurgeon’s $6,036,706 occupation-wide total. Mean $802 is arithmetic. Unique donors are unpublished. Independent expenditures are excluded. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
- Should I add surgeon giving to ACS PAC?
- No. Surgeon is a different occupation key and ACS PAC is a different committee. Neurosurgeons who listed Surgeon appear on the Surgeon pages unless FEC stored NEUROSURGEON. Adding the joins would mix unlike keys. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
- Is $2.2 million NeurosurgeryPAC’s total fundraising?
- No. $2,211,425 is the Neurosurgeon occupation slice. Other occupations on C00413955 sit on the committee overlay. Dues and independent expenditures are outside the source note. The live FEC committee file is the PAC-wide view. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
- Does 36.6 percent mean most neurosurgeons give to AANS PAC?
- No. 36.6% is a dollar share of itemized Neurosurgeon occupation receipts, not a share of people and not a membership rate. $3,825,281 of the occupation book went to other federal committees. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Not independent expenditures.
