What chiropractor donors give in federal races

A wide chiropractic pool under $5.0M

$4,966,388 is the occupation-level dollar total. 22,267 is the itemization count. 1,511 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $223 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $3,287 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 15 itemizations per donor record.

1,511 donor records is a wide specialty pool: more people than many physician strings with similar dollars. Fifteen itemizations per donor record is moderate repeat. Mean dollars per donor record sit toward the modest side among clinical titles in this harvest band.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no solo-versus-group split, and no party series. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Chiropractor is not physician and not DC

PHYSICIAN, DC, and DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to CHIROPRACTOR. This page cites only $4,966,388, 22,267 contributions, and 1,511 donors.

FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no state chiropractic-board check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals CHIROPRACTOR after indexing.

What 1,511 donor records can and cannot show

1,511 donor records used CHIROPRACTOR on at least one matching itemization. That is not a membership list from a chiropractic association. Retired practitioners and forms filled with a spouse’s title can appear. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed CHIROPRACTOR on some gifts and DC on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 15-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,511 unique people each gave 15 times.

Keep health-sector industry tables separate

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A chiropractor in private practice and one in a clinic share this occupation string if they typed CHIROPRACTOR. Adding $4,966,388 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the CHIROPRACTOR occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $4,966,388.

How to cite the chiropractor key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: CHIROPRACTOR itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $4,966,388 on 22,267 contributions from 1,511 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. Do not treat the total as a census of practicing chiropractors. Compact millions ($5.0M) are the same headline amount as $4,966,388, rounded to one decimal place.

Treating CHIROPRACTOR as typed clinical text

CHIROPRACTOR in this extract is $4,966,388 on 22,267 itemizations from 1,511 donor records, or $5.0M in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $223 per contribution and about $3,287 per donor record, with roughly 15 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. PHYSICIAN and DC remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to CHIROPRACTOR. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $4,966,388. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals CHIROPRACTOR, dollars equal $4,966,388, contributions equal 22,267, donors equal 1,511. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the wide donor pool behind CHIROPRACTOR. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have chiropractor donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list CHIROPRACTOR sum to $4,966,388, or $5.0M, across 22,267 contributions and 1,511 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Are physicians included in the chiropractor total?

No. PHYSICIAN is a separate occupation string. This page covers CHIROPRACTOR only: $4,966,388, 22,267 contributions, and 1,511 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined clinical total the packet does not contain. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

Does the FEC confirm a chiropractic license?

No. Occupation is self-reported. A professional word on Schedule A is not a license check. Treat the 1,511 donor records as a count of matching text, not a board roster. The indexed sum remains $4,966,388. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Where do I review individual chiropractor gifts?

The CHIROPRACTOR occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $4,966,388. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
