How much have anesthesiologist-labeled filers given federally?

The ANESTHESIOLOGIST industry cluster totals $4,838,664 in itemized FEC contributions, from 21,529 contributions and 424 donors. Filers wrote that specialty in the employer or occupation field. The figure is FEC free text, not a NAICS health-care total. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.

Why is a medical specialty listed as an industry?

LobbyVault industries rank FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Job titles enter the same list as company names because FEC.gov does not attach NAICS. ANESTHESIOLOGIST is the typed string; top employer in the facts is the same word. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.

How many unique anesthesiologist-labeled donors are there?

LobbyVault counts 424 donors and 21,529 contributions. Unique-donor count is people whose disclosed text matched ANESTHESIOLOGIST, not a census of board-certified physicians. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.

Does this include hospital employers?

Only if the industry key on the row is ANESTHESIOLOGIST. Filers who listed a hospital name as employer may sit in that hospital’s industry slug instead. This page’s $4,838,664 is the specialty-string cluster only. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.

Anesthesiologist money in federal elections

People who wrote ANESTHESIOLOGIST in the employer or occupation box on federal campaign filings account for $4,838,664 in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. LobbyVault counts 21,529 contributions and 424 donors. The word is a job title, yet it appears on the industry index because FEC files do not separate coded occupations from coded industries. It is not a NAICS health-care sector total.

Key figures

ANESTHESIOLOGIST FEC strings sum to $4,838,664.
21,529 contributions came from 424 donors.
About $225 per gift and $11,412 per donor on a simple mean.
The “industry” label is a job-title self-report, not NAICS.
Hospital-name employers are separate slugs.

A job title sitting in the industry index

FEC individual records have two free-text fields: employer and occupation. LobbyVault’s industry rollup groups whichever string the ingest treated as the industry key. Here that key is ANESTHESIOLOGIST, and the top employer fact is the same word—meaning many filers put the specialty in the employer box, left employer blank, or used the title as both. The $4,838,664 therefore follows a specialty label, not a hospital name.

Hospital and group-practice employer strings (a clinic name, a university medical center) live on other industry pages. An anesthesiologist who wrote the hospital in employer and the specialty in occupation may be counted here, there, or in both views depending on which field keyed the rollup. Occupation breakdowns are the natural companion index for this slug.

$4,838,664 from 424 donors

Four hundred twenty-four unique donors produced 21,529 contributions, about 51 itemized gifts per person, with a mean gift near $225 and a per-donor mean near $11,412. High row counts with moderate mean gifts often reflect repeat itemized PAC activity. The packet does not confirm PAC share; it only supplies the four aggregates.

Specialty societies and practice groups can appear as employer text on other slugs. They are not merged into this ANESTHESIOLOGIST total. Adding them would invent dollars the packet does not contain.

What the 21,529 rows omit

No board-certification check, no state of licensure, no party split, no cycle year. The FEC form captures what the contributor typed. $4,838,664 is the itemized sum for that string in the LobbyVault aggregate from FEC.gov.

CRNA, pain-medicine, and anesthesiologist-assistant spellings, if present, are separate keys. This page does not recode them into ANESTHESIOLOGIST.

How to read this beside occupation pages

Use occupation breakdowns when you want title-level cuts across employers. Use all industries to see hospital and physician-group strings. Use the ANESTHESIOLOGIST donor table for names and amounts on this key.

Nothing in the facts states a policy preference or a reimbursement scheme. The public record is dollar volume and counts for one self-reported string.

Industry ANESTHESIOLOGIST; total $4,838,664; 21,529 contributions; 424 donors; top employer ANESTHESIOLOGIST. Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

The ANESTHESIOLOGIST donor table lists the 424 unique donors behind 21,529 itemized contributions totaling $4,838,664. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Hospital names, group-practice LLCs, and CRNA strings are other keys if stored separately. Occupation breakdowns are the companion view for physician titles across many employers. All industries lists hospital and clinic strings. Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. About 51 itemized gifts per person and a per-donor mean near $11,412 follow from those counts. This page does not assign the dollars to a cycle year and does not split PAC versus candidate receipts. LDA lobbying by specialty societies is a different dataset. Amendments can revise historical amounts. Mean gift size about $225 is total divided by 21,529 rows. The 424-donor count is matching text, not a board-certification roster. Keep $4,838,664 attached to the specialty-word cluster as filed on FEC.gov.

Specialty-title receipts versus hospital employer keys

ANESTHESIOLOGIST keyed $4,838,664 in itemized federal receipts from 21,529 contributions and 424 donors. About 51 itemized gifts per person and a per-donor mean near $11,412 follow from those counts. Unitemized gifts never enter the 21,529-row figure. Hospital names, group-practice LLCs, and CRNA or pain-medicine strings are other keys if stored separately. The 424 unique donors are matching text, not a board-certification roster. LDA lobbying by specialty societies is a different dataset and is not inside $4,838,664. Top employer matches ANESTHESIOLOGIST because many filers put the specialty in the employer box.

This page does not assign the dollars to a cycle year and does not split PAC versus candidate receipts. Amendments can revise historical amounts.
