What veterinarian-occupation donors give in federal races

High-repeat clinical title, a $165 mean

$10,539,916, 63,922 itemizations, and 2,557 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $165. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,122. Repeat giving is about 25 itemizations per donor record.

63,922 lines from 2,557 records is a high-repeat clinical-title stack. The $165 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical visit fee redirected to politics.

The packet has no small-animal versus large-animal split, no DVM field, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

VETERINARIAN is not a AVMA membership list

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a veterinary license. Technicians, retirees, and people using a related clinic title can sit on other keys. Best-efforts rules do not force a medical taxonomy.

This page cites only $10,539,916, 63,922 contributions, and 2,557 donors. PHYSICIAN and other clinical strings remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.

Donor records and dual titles

2,557 donor records used VETERINARIAN on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed VETERINARIAN on some gifts and OWNER on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

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

Industry pages group clinics, not this title

Industry pages group employers. A practice owner and an associate veterinarian share this occupation string if they typed VETERINARIAN. Adding $10,539,916 to an industry total double-counts.

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

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals VETERINARIAN, dollars equal $10,539,916, contributions equal 63,922, donors equal 2,557, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Quote the three facts together so the high-repeat 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 $10,539,916, 63,922 contributions, and 2,557 donors. Neighboring clinic titles stay on their own pages unless the extract merged them into VETERINARIAN.

Reading VETERINARIAN as a clinical one-word key

VETERINARIAN in this extract is $10,539,916 on 63,922 itemizations from 2,557 donor records, or $10.5 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 DVM, vet, or practice owner may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact VETERINARIAN key is in $10,539,916.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $165 per contribution and about $4,122 per donor record, with roughly 25 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. Combining VETERINARIAN with neighboring clinical strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. 2,557 donor records on 63,922 lines is a high-repeat title pool, not a license census.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $10,539,916. A person who listed VETERINARIAN 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 VETERINARIAN, dollars equal $10,539,916, contributions equal 63,922, donors equal 2,557. 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 VETERINARIAN occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Compact millions ($10.5 million) are the same headline amount as $10,539,916, rounded to one decimal place. Keep 63,922 contributions and 2,557 donor records in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the high-repeat clinical-title pattern rather than a license census. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a DVM roster. A citation that stays inside the packet names VETERINARIAN, $10,539,916, 63,922, and 2,557 together.
