EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN

High line volume under a $6.9 million headline

$6,913,516 is the occupation-level dollar total. 26,700 is the itemization count. 2,149 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $259 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $3,217 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 12 itemizations per donor record. Among occupation strings near this dollar band, EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN is a high-volume medical key: many lines and more than two thousand donor records, not a handful of large checks.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $259 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Twenty-six thousand seven hundred lines from 2,149 donor records is a wide pool relative to C-suite strings that post similar dollars on a few thousand receipts. Frequency and dollar size are different dimensions; this bucket is heavier on line count than on dollars per line.

Specialty text is not a medical-board list

EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN is a specialty label, not a generic PHYSICIAN bucket. Rows tagged ER PHYSICIAN, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, or PHYSICIAN do not join this total unless the occupation field is exactly EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN after indexing. Nearby spellings—emergency medicine physician, ER doctor, emergency room physician—remain other occupation pages if they appear in the bulk file.

Questions

How much have emergency physician donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN sum to $6,913,516 across 26,700 contributions and 2,149 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Does the FEC verify that donors are licensed emergency physicians?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. The FEC record does not check board certification. EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN itemizations still sum to $6,913,516 from 26,700 contributions and 2,149 donor records. Quote those three facts; do not treat them as a specialty census.

Why are there more contributions than donors?

The file has 26,700 itemized lines and 2,149 donor records, about 12 lines per record. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and earmarks each create rows. Dividing $6,913,516 by lines yields about $259 per contribution, a mean rather than a typical check.
