Dentist political contributions from California

Dentist and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DENTIST and donor state CA produce $4,659,379, 31,119 contributions, and 1,094 donors. The occupation hub is $36,685,531, 143,346 contributions, and 10,521 donors. The three shares are 12.7% of dollars, 21.7% of contributions, and 10.4% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $4,659,379 drops the row and donor keys. California Dentist contribution rows outrun the dollar share on a high-donor clinical title.

Dentist is a clinical title as typed, not a board roster. Nearby strings — ORTHODONTIST, DENTAL HYGIENIST, ORAL SURGEON, and DDS — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,659,379 or $36,685,531. DDS as an abbreviation, if stored, is another key and is not merged into DENTIST here.

One thousand ninety-four California donors produced 31,119 contributions, about 28.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.6 rows per donor nationally (143,346 contributions from 10,521 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this California cell are about $4,259, versus about $3,487 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

Dentist as a national occupation grouping

DENTIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a DDS, DMD, or California dental license. The national grouping is 10,521 donors, 143,346 contributions, and $36,685,531.

143,346 contributions from 10,521 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. California’s 31,119 contributions from 1,094 donors is the CA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California.

California on the state side

One thousand ninety-four California donors produced 31,119 contributions totaling $4,659,379. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California professional license, and not a limit to California candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only DENTIST. Subtract $4,659,379 from $36,685,531 and $32,026,152 remains coded Dentist in every other state combined (112,227 contributions, 9,427 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Dentist–California join is not

This page does not measure dentist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Dentist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Dental Board of California license extract, not an ADA membership roll, and not a practice-revenue ranking.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state CA is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one Dentist filter

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $4,659,379, 31,119 contributions, and 1,094 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Dentist national total, drops a key.

Dentist donations holds the $36,685,531 national occupation total. California campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. DDS as an abbreviation, if stored, is another key and is not merged into DENTIST here.
