NEUROSURGEON

Specialty receipts under $6.0 million

$6,036,706 is the occupation-level dollar total. 7,309 is the itemization count. 1,153 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $826 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,236 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 6 itemizations per donor record. Seven thousand-plus lines from 1,153 donor records is a lower line count than some other physician specialties with similar dollars—more concentrated per person than high-volume medical keys.

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 $826 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Mean dollars per contribution sit above high-frequency medical strings that post tens of thousands of small itemizations. The packet still has no median and no hospital-versus-private-practice split.

Form 3, Form 3X, and unlicensed specialty text

Medical occupation strings often look precise and still fail a license check. The FEC does not verify board certification in neurosurgery. A retired neurosurgeon who still types the specialty can appear in the 1,153.

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 NEUROSURGEON after indexing. SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and NEUROLOGIST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to NEUROSURGEON.

Questions

How much have neurosurgeon donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list NEUROSURGEON sum to $6,036,706 across 7,309 contributions and 1,153 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.

Are generic surgeons included in the neurosurgeon total?

No. SURGEON is a separate occupation string. This page covers NEUROSURGEON only: $6,036,706, 7,309 contributions, and 1,153 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined surgical total the packet does not contain. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Does the FEC confirm neurosurgery board certification?

No. Occupation is self-reported. A specialty word on Schedule A is not a credential check. Treat the 1,153 donor records as a count of matching text, not a board roster. The indexed sum remains $6,036,706. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Where do I review individual gifts?

The NEUROSURGEON occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $6,036,706. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
