Dentist political contributions from New Jersey

The Dentist–New Jersey intersection

Occupation DENTIST and donor state NJ produce $1,083,369, 3,760 contributions, and 293 donors. The occupation hub is $36,685,531, 143,346 contributions, and 10,521 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 2.6% (3,760 of 143,346); donor share about 2.8% (293 of 10,521). Two hundred ninety-three New Jersey donors are 2.8% of 10,521 national DENTIST donors. Dollars ($1,083,369 of $36,685,531) are about 3.0%; contributions (3,760 of 143,346) about 2.6%.

DDS, ORAL SURGEON, and DENTAL, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack DENTIST with DDS or ORAL SURGEON into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

293 New Jersey donors produced 3,760 contributions, about 12.8 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 New Jersey cell is about $288, against about $256 nationwide. New Jersey’s mean sits between Michigan’s lower figure and Virginia’s higher figure. About 12.8 rows per donor here versus about 13.6 nationally.

DENTIST receipts with a New Jersey address

DENTIST is a filer-entered string. The file does not verify a New Jersey dental license. The word DENTIST plus NJ 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 New Jersey (NJ). This page locates the New Jersey overlap. It does not name practices among the 293 New Jersey donors.

New Jersey as donor state

293 New Jersey donors produced 3,760 contributions totaling $1,083,369. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey dental license and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. A donor can live in New Jersey and practice in New York while the state code stays NJ.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only DENTIST. The Dentist occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 97.0% of the $36,685,531. New Jersey’s state hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. DENTIST is only this filter.

What not to infer from Dentist plus New Jersey

This page does not merge DDS dollars, verify licenses, or claim that Dentist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DENTIST is not DDS. This page does not offer dental advice.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DENTIST is not a New Jersey dental-board roster. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Practice names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Dentist filter

Subtract the New Jersey 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 ($35,602,162) 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 293 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 3,760 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,083,369 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the DENTIST national total, drops a key. Two hundred ninety-three donors producing 3,760 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,083,369 headline.

Dentist donations holds the $36,685,531 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Virginia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania have separate Dentist occupation-state ties; do not add those dollars here.
