DENTIST

A midterm occupation slice with hundreds of donors

Six hundred twelve unique donors produced 1,570 itemized lines totaling $5.44 million in 2014. That is on the order of 2.6 lines per donor — a lower repeat ratio than CPA’s 2014 join in this series. The packet does not explain the ratio. The Dentist 2014 overlay lists disclosed names.

Fourteen point six percent of $37,234,621 is the 2014 share. Other cycles hold the rest of the occupation book on the parent page. Do not treat $5.44 million as the entire DENTIST history.

People who typed DDS, DMD, ORTHODONTIST, or a practice legal name sit on other keys unless a receipt grouped to DENTIST. LobbyVault does not recode those variants.

2014 is an FEC clock, not a CE-credit year

FEC cycle 2014 is the two-year federal window labeled 2014. This join does not import board-renewal calendars. The 2014 election cycle hub shows other occupation-style strings in the same window, including CPA and FARMER.

Party share is not in the packet. Association PACs are committee filings unless the individual receipt itself carries DENTIST.

Questions

How much did DENTIST-listed donors give in 2014?

LobbyVault attributes $5,437,520 to that string in 2014, from 1,570 contributions and 612 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a dental-board census.

Is 2014 the full DENTIST total?

No. The all-cycle total is $37,234,621. The 2014 slice is $5,437,520, or 14.6% of that parent book.

Does this count every dentist who donated?

No. Only receipts grouped to DENTIST are in the $5.44 million. DDS, DMD, practice names, and DOCTOR are other keys unless they grouped here.

Is this the ADA PAC?

No. This join is individual contribution aggregates under the DENTIST string. A committee PAC is a different FEC document.
