Doctor political contributions from California

Doctor and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DOCTOR and donor state CA produce $4,589,734, 12,697 contributions, and 930 donors. The occupation hub is $33,843,608, 97,205 contributions, and 7,623 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (13.6%, 13.1%, 12.2%). California tracks the national Doctor mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. California Doctor shares cluster in the low teens on a large clinical-or-title bucket.

Doctor is a generic doctor stamp, not a physician recode. Nearby strings — PHYSICIAN, MD, SURGEON, and PSYCHIATRIST — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,589,734 or $33,843,608. PHYSICIAN and MD remain separate keys; this page does not stack them onto DOCTOR.

Nine hundred thirty California donors produced 12,697 contributions, about 13.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.8 rows per donor nationally (97,205 contributions from 7,623 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this California cell are about $4,935, versus about $4,440 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

Doctor as a national occupation grouping

DOCTOR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an MD, DO, or California medical license. The national grouping is 7,623 donors, 97,205 contributions, and $33,843,608.

97,205 contributions from 7,623 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. California’s 12,697 contributions from 930 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

Nine hundred thirty California donors produced 12,697 contributions totaling $4,589,734. 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 DOCTOR. Subtract $4,589,734 from $33,843,608 and $29,253,874 remains coded Doctor in every other state combined (84,508 contributions, 6,693 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Doctor–California join is not

This page does not measure doctor output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Doctor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Medical Board of California license extract, not an NPI file, and not a hospital-privilege census.

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 Doctor 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 $4,589,734, 12,697 contributions, and 930 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Doctor national total, drops a key.

Doctor donations holds the $33,843,608 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. PHYSICIAN and MD remain separate keys; this page does not stack them onto DOCTOR.
