Key figures

  • Volume: 559 itemized contributions, 217 donors (about 2.6 lines per donor).

The Medical Doctor Γ— 2008 join

LobbyVault stores FEC employer/industry strings separately from election cycles. Crossing them for Medical Doctor and 2008 yields $407,515. That is 559 itemized lines and 217 unique donors. The figure is not a committee’s reported disbursement. FEC.gov remains the underlying source.

Self-reported occupation can collide with similar form text. This join uses the exact grouping MEDICAL DOCTOR. Related employer words, abbreviations, and occupation titles are not added. The 217 donor identities are contributor keys, not a headcount of a workforce.

Dropping either filter changes the story. Drop the year and you see $7,554,460. Drop the string and you see the entire 2008 cycle. This page holds both filters at once.

Lifetime Medical Doctor money versus 2008

A lifetime figure of $7,554,460 can swallow a single cycle if the join is skipped. 2008 is $407,515, about 5.4%. The leftover $7,146,945 belongs on other cycle pages for the same string, not in this cell.

$7,554,460 is still only this exact grouping. It is not every related company name and not a sector total. 5.4% describes 2008 inside Medical Doctor, nothing else. $7,554,460 is the running sum for exact string MEDICAL DOCTOR. 2008 contributes $407,515 (5.4%); the complement is $7,146,945 (94.6%). Changing one character in the employer field would move money to another grouping and change both the numerator and the denominator.
