How much have VETERINARIAN-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,376,213 to the VETERINARIAN employer string, from 7,226 contributions and 362 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a veterinary-association PAC and not a NAICS veterinary-services total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is DVM included in this total?

Only if those receipts grouped to VETERINARIAN. DVM and VET are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.4M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to VETERINARIAN. LobbyVault does not merge credential abbreviations into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include clinic staff who typed a hospital name?

Only if the grouped employer text is VETERINARIAN. Clinic legal names are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the spelled-out title. Staff who typed OWNER sit in that other row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed VETERINARIAN?

The rollup counts 362 donors and 7,226 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a veterinary-board headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

VETERINARIAN

People who wrote VETERINARIAN in the employer or occupation field on federal filings account for $3.4M ($3,376,213) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. LobbyVault counts 7,226 contributions and 362 donors. The title is FEC free text, not a NAICS veterinary-services total, not a veterinary-association PAC, and not VET, DVM, or SELF-EMPLOYED as sibling keys.

Key figures

VETERINARIAN as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,376,213) from 362 donors.
7,226 contribution lines sit under that spelled-out clinical title.
DVM, VET, and clinic legal names are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or association PAC total.

A one-word clinical title, not a clinic-sector recode

Three hundred sixty-two unique donors produced 7,226 contributions totaling $3,376,213. About 20 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $467 describe the arithmetic. VET as a short stamp, DVM as a credential, VETERINARY CLINIC as a shop label, and PHYSICIAN can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,376,213 unless they grouped to VETERINARIAN.

Top employer matches VETERINARIAN. The FEC field records what was typed, not a state veterinary-board licensee file. LobbyVault does not recode DVM or clinic legal names into this one-word title. Researchers who want a combined veterinary-services family must recode after export. The 362 unique-person count is not a census of practicing veterinarians.

362 donors and 7,226 lines

7,226 lines from 362 people is a moderate receipt pattern. Mean per donor is about $9,327. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a companion-versus-large-animal split, a clinic-owner cut, or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and association PAC filings are outside the $3,376,213 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
