What geologist-occupation donors give in federal races

Mid-volume earth-science title, a $374 mean

$9,308,121, 24,898 itemizations, and 1,311 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $374. Mean dollars per donor record are about $7,100. Repeat giving is about 19 itemizations per donor record.

24,898 lines from 1,311 records is a mid-volume science-title stack with more repeat than many professional ranks at this dollar band. The $374 per-line mean is arithmetic, not a typical consulting day-rate redirected to politics.

The packet has no oil-versus-environmental split, no license field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average.

GEOLOGIST is not a board-certification census

The FEC record does not verify a geology degree or professional geologist license. Petroleum, mining, and environmental uses of the word can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a disciplinary taxonomy.

This page cites only $9,308,121, 24,898 contributions, and 1,311 donors. SCIENTIST, ENGINEER, and PHYSICIST remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and dual science titles

1,311 donor records used GEOLOGIST on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed GEOLOGIST on some gifts and ENGINEER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party from the science title.

Industry pages group energy and consulting employers

Industry pages group employers. A petroleum geologist and an environmental geologist share this occupation string if they typed GEOLOGIST. Adding $9,308,121 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the GEOLOGIST occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the string next to other science titles.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals GEOLOGIST, dollars equal $9,308,121, contributions equal 24,898, donors equal 1,311, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the mid-range mean is visible next to the headline dollars.

Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact beyond $9,308,121, 24,898 contributions, and 1,311 donors. Neighboring science titles stay on their own pages unless the extract merged them into GEOLOGIST.

Reading GEOLOGIST next to other science keys

GEOLOGIST in this extract is $9,308,121 on 24,898 itemizations from 1,311 donor records, or $9.3 million 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. People who type scientist, engineer, or consultant may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact GEOLOGIST key is in $9,308,121.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $374 per contribution and about $7,100 per donor record, with roughly 19 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining GEOLOGIST with neighboring science strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 1,311 donor records on 24,898 lines is a mid-volume earth-science pool, not a license census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $9,308,121. A person who listed GEOLOGIST on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals GEOLOGIST, dollars equal $9,308,121, contributions equal 24,898, donors equal 1,311. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live GEOLOGIST occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($9.3 million) are the same headline amount as $9,308,121, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 24,898 contributions and 1,311 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the mid-volume earth-science title rather than a board census. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a professional-geologist roster. A citation that stays inside the packet names GEOLOGIST, $9,308,121, 24,898, and 1,311 together.

Questions

How much have geologist-occupation donors given in FEC data?

The GEOLOGIST occupation string is attached to $9,308,121 across 24,898 contributions and 1,311 donor records in LobbyVault’s FEC bulk index. The figure is itemized occupation money, not a census of licensed geologists. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Does GEOLOGIST include petroleum and environmental geologists?

The string matches whatever donors typed. The FEC does not split subfield. This page covers GEOLOGIST: $9,308,121, 24,898 contributions, and 1,311 donors. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

What is the average geologist contribution?

Dividing $9,308,121 by 24,898 itemizations yields about $374 per contribution. Dividing by 1,311 donors yields about $7,100 per donor record. Both are means, not medians. Repeat giving is about 19 itemizations per donor record. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Does listing geologist prove a professional geologist license?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. The FEC record does not verify degrees or boards. Quote 24,898 contributions and 1,311 donor records with the $9,308,121 total. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
