Dentist political contributions from Georgia

Dentist and Georgia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DENTIST and donor state GA produce $1,390,333, 3,365 contributions, and 408 donors. The occupation hub is $36,685,531, 143,346 contributions, and 10,521 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 2.3% (3,365 of 143,346); donor share about 3.9% (408 of 10,521). Four hundred eight Georgia donors are about 3.9% of 10,521 national donors; 3,365 contributions are about 2.3% of 143,346 national rows; dollars are about 3.8% of $36,685,531.

ORTHODONTIST, ORAL SURGEON, and DDS, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Dentist total. Do not stack DENTIST with ORTHODONTIST or ORAL SURGEON into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

408 Georgia donors produced 3,365 contributions, about 8.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.6 rows per donor nationally (143,346 contributions from 10,521 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $413, against about $256 nationwide. Georgia’s about 3.8% dollar share from 3,365 rows is a larger-mean slice than Florida’s 6,951-row Dentist cell of the same occupation.

DENTIST as a Georgia clinical string

DENTIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Georgia dental license, a specialty, or a practice setting. The word on the form is the filter. The $36,685,531 national total is DENTIST only. 10,521 donors produced 143,346 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 143,346 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Ten thousand five hundred twenty-one national donors make DENTIST a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state GA.

Georgia as the Dentist state stamp

408 Georgia donors produced 3,365 contributions totaling $1,390,333. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,390,333.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only DENTIST. The Dentist occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 96.2% of the $36,685,531. Georgia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to GA. DENTIST is only this filter.

What the Dentist–Georgia join is not

This page does not count licensed dentists, add Florida Dentist dollars, or claim that Dentist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DENTIST is not ORAL SURGEON even when filers meant a clinical practice. This cell is not the Florida or North Carolina Dentist pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DENTIST is not a licensing-board extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Georgia Dentist filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national DENTIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded DENTIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($35,295,198) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 408 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,365 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,390,333 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the DENTIST national total, drops a key. Four hundred eight donors producing 3,365 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,390,333 headline.

Related tables

Dentist donations holds the $36,685,531 national occupation total. Georgia 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. Florida and North Carolina have separate Dentist occupation-state ties in this same slice; those cells are other pairs.

No. This join is DENTIST and state GA. The Florida cell is a different pair. Four hundred eight Georgia donors produced 3,365 gifts totaling $1,390,333. The 408 Georgia donors used occupation DENTIST and state GA. Filers who wrote DDS or ORTHODONTIST may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this money go to Georgia candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Georgia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,390,333 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to GA; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
