What pediatrician donors give in federal races

High-frequency specialty lines under $4.8M

$4,762,342 is the occupation-level dollar total. 34,751 is the itemization count. 1,059 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $137. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,497. Repeat giving is about 33 itemizations per donor record.

34,751 lines from 1,059 records is a high-repeat clinical pattern. The per-line mean of about $137 is modest: the contribution count is the number that explains how $4.8M accumulated. Those means are arithmetic, not medians.

The packet has no gift-size distribution, no hospital-versus-clinic split, and no party series. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Pediatrician is not physician and not pediatrics

PHYSICIAN, PEDIATRICS, and MD — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to PEDIATRICIAN. This page cites only $4,762,342, 34,751 contributions, and 1,059 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 ABP board check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals PEDIATRICIAN after indexing. PEDIATRIC NURSE remains another key unless it normalized here.

What 1,059 donor records can and cannot show

1,059 donor records used PEDIATRICIAN on at least one matching itemization. That is not a membership list from a pediatrics academy. Retired specialists 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 PEDIATRICIAN on some gifts and PHYSICIAN on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 33-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,059 unique people each gave 33 times.

Keep health-sector industry tables separate

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A pediatrician in a hospital and one in a private group share this occupation string if they typed PEDIATRICIAN. Adding $4,762,342 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the PEDIATRICIAN 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 $4,762,342.

How to cite the pediatrician key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: PEDIATRICIAN itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $4,762,342 on 34,751 contributions from 1,059 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 pediatricians. Compact millions ($4.8M) are the same headline amount as $4,762,342, rounded to one decimal place.

Treating PEDIATRICIAN as typed specialty text

PEDIATRICIAN in this extract is $4,762,342 on 34,751 itemizations from 1,059 donor records, or $4.8M 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 $137 per contribution and about $4,497 per donor record, with roughly 33 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. PHYSICIAN and PEDIATRICS remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PEDIATRICIAN. 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 $4,762,342. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PEDIATRICIAN, dollars equal $4,762,342, contributions equal 34,751, donors equal 1,059. 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 how 34,751 lines produced $4.8M. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have pediatrician donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list PEDIATRICIAN sum to $4,762,342, or $4.8M, across 34,751 contributions and 1,059 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 pediatrician total?

No. PHYSICIAN is a separate occupation string. This page covers PEDIATRICIAN only: $4,762,342, 34,751 contributions, and 1,059 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined medical 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 pediatrics board credential?

No. Occupation is self-reported. A specialty word on Schedule A is not a credential check. Treat the 1,059 donor records as a count of matching text, not a board roster. The indexed sum remains $4,762,342. 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 pediatrician gifts?

The PEDIATRICIAN occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $4,762,342. 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.
