DOCTOR

Doctor as typed occupation × 2008

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Doctor and 2008 — sum to $2,949,800. The cell holds 3,510 itemized contributions and 1,221 unique donors. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Doctor hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Doctor is a short status word. It can mean many specialties. The FEC field does not split them. Physician is a sibling title. PHYSICIAN, MD, and specialty titles such as CARDIOLOGIST remain other keys if stored separately. Open Doctor 2008 for the overlay rows, Doctor for other cycles, and the 2008 election cycle for other employer strings.

Dividing $2,949,800 by 3,510 contributions yields about $840.40 per itemized gift. Dividing by 1,221 donors yields about $2,415.89 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 2.9. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians, not a party split, and not a typical salary.

A smaller 2008 slice of a large Doctor book

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $111,741,528. The 2008 slice of $2,949,800 is about 2.64% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.36%. Treating 2008 as the entire Doctor FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $111,741,528 as the denominator for the 2.64% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $111,741,528.

Questions

How much did Doctor donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $2,949,800 in itemized individual contributions for the Doctor grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 3,510 contributions and 1,221 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $111,741,528 all-cycle figure.

What share of Doctor FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $111,741,528. The 2008 cell of $2,949,800 is about 2.64% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 97.36% on the industry hub. Do not treat 2008 as the whole Doctor story.

Does Doctor mean M.D. only?

Not necessarily. The stored string is Doctor. Other clinical titles keep their own pages. This join does not verify licenses and is not medical advice. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Doctor hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Where is the overlay for the Doctor 2008 join?

Open Doctor 2008 for the cycle overlay, Doctor for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON names the join; the overlay holds the rows.
