How much did MD donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $613,477 in itemized individual contributions for the MD grouping in the 2014 cycle, across 515 contributions and 197 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $20,116,027 all-cycle figure.

What share of MD FEC money is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $20,116,027. The 2014 cell of $613,477 is about 3.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 97.0% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the MD hub holds other cycles; the 2014 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Does this include only licensed or currently employed MD donors?

No. The bucket is the self-reported string MD. The FEC does not verify licenses or current jobs. Related phrases may sit in other groupings. This join reports the string match for 2014 only, totaling $613,477 from 197 donors.

$613,477 in itemized individual contributions is the 2014-cycle join for the occupation grouping MD. FEC.gov aggregates count 515 contributions from 197 donors. The same string totals $20,116,027 across every cycle in this table, so the cell is about 3.0% of the lifetime bucket — a self-reported title meeting a two-year window, not a health-care NAICS total and not a medical-association PAC.

Key figures

MD × 2014 is $613,477 in itemized individual contributions.
The cell includes 515 contributions from 197 donors.
2014 is about 3.0% of the grouping’s $20,116,027 all-cycle total.

FEC gifts and federal award files remain separate datasets.

MD as stored text, 2014 as cycle

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — MD and 2014 — sum to $613,477. 515 itemized contributions and 197 unique donors produced it. 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 MD hub nor the 2014 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. MD is an abbreviation filers typed, not a state medical-board roster. One hundred ninety-seven donors and 515 lines in 2014 matched that two-letter string. PHYSICIAN spelled out is a different grouping. Named hospitals typed as employer sit on firm pages. Do not add those cells to this abbreviation total. PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, M.D., ANESTHESIOLOGIST, SURGEON, and named hospitals are other keys. This page is the two-letter MD abbreviation only.

3.0% of the MD roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $20,116,027 ($20.1 million). The 2014 slice of $613,477 is about 3.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 97.0%. Treating 2014 as the MD FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $20,116,027 as the denominator for the 3.0% 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 2014 from being folded silently into $20,116,027.
