PSYCHOLOGIST on FEC filings: $26.7M from 941 donors

A clinical credential, a short unique-name list

Many psychologists type the credential in both FEC boxes. Others type a university, a hospital, or a group practice. Those named employers are other keys. The $26.7M total is the PSYCHOLOGIST string.

NAICS 6213 is not applied. Psychiatrists who typed PHYSICIAN or PSYCHIATRIST are not inside this figure. Counselors who typed other titles are elsewhere.

941 donors, 43,226 lines, $26.7M

941 donors produced 43,226 PSYCHOLOGIST contribution lines totaling $26.7M. Unique-donor count is far below DENTIST and PHYSICIAN. Dollars can still reach the mid-twenty millions on a short professional list. This page does not invent a mean gift.

Party share is not on this industry headline. Association PACs are committees, not this individual-label rollup.

Adjacent clinical strings

PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and DENTIST are neighboring health titles with larger donor pools. None is merged into PSYCHOLOGIST. A hospital employer name will usually harvest away from this title row.

Occupation pages show title-versus-employer splits for university and VA psychologists. State psychology boards and the 941-donor FEC table answer different questions. The $26.7M total is the credential string: 43,226 lines from 941 people. University and VA letterheads pull many psychologists into employer-name keys. Counselors who typed other titles never enter this row.

Donor table

The PSYCHOLOGIST donor table lists disclosed names and amounts. A large gift is a public contribution. It is not evidence about a treatment, a school, or a statute. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the credential.

With 941 donors, the table is scanable. Still match on committee and date when surnames collide. PHYSICIAN and DOCTOR remain the larger medical-title rows and still exclude psychology unless those words were typed. PSYCHIATRIST, if stored, would be another key. Do not fold $26.7M into a homemade clinical sum without a methods note.

FEC.gov via LobbyVault: $26.7M, 43,226 contributions, 941 donors, top employer PSYCHOLOGIST. Unitemized and non-federal activity are omitted.

Follow recipient committees from the table. Short unique-donor lists make large itemized gifts easy to over-read. They remain disclosed contributions, not treatment records. Recipient committees sit on the donor table.

Clinics, universities, and neighboring credentials

University, VA, and clinic employer names pull psychologists out of this title row. The $26.7M total, 43,226 contribution lines, and 941 donors are the credential string. PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and any PSYCHIATRIST string stay out. Unitemized gifts, state races, and association PACs are omitted. LobbyVault does not match this label to a psychology board.

Short unique-donor lists make large lines visible. They are still disclosed contributions, not clinical findings. Occupation pages show title-versus-employer splits. Open the PSYCHOLOGIST donor table for names and committees. The credential is self-reported FEC text, not NAICS 6213, from FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Occupation pages recover PSYCHOLOGIST as occupation with a clinic employer. Harvest may send those lines to the clinic. Cite $26.7M as the title string from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 6213. University and VA letterheads explain why only 941 unique donors sit on PSYCHOLOGIST despite a $26.7M total and 43,226 lines. Clinic names do the same. License-board searches belong on board sites. PHYSICIAN and DOCTOR are larger medical-title rows that still exclude psychology unless those words were typed. Counselors who typed other titles never enter. Short lists make large gifts easy to over-read; they remain disclosed contributions, not treatment records. Occupation pages recover PSYCHOLOGIST as occupation with a clinic employer; harvest may send those lines to the clinic. Unitemized gifts, state races, and association PACs are omitted. Cite $26.7M from FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not NAICS 6213. Campus HR files explain the short 941-donor PSYCHOLOGIST list better than a giving-rate story. University and VA letterheads pulled people onto employer keys, leaving $26.7M and 43,226 lines on the credential. Clinic names did the same. PHYSICIAN and DOCTOR exclude psychology unless those words were typed. License boards stay on board sites. Large gifts on a short list are still gifts, not charts. Occupation pages recover clinic-plus-title mixes. FEC.gov via LobbyVault stores PSYCHOLOGIST, not NAICS 6213.
