Doctor political contributions from Shreveport, LA

The relationship: DOCTOR and SHREVEPORT

The relationship is a join, not a narrative about Shreveport politics. $10,000 sits on receipts that carry both DOCTOR and SHREVEPORT. $41,792,825 sits on receipts that carry SHREVEPORT regardless of employer. Subtracting in prose is unnecessary: $10,000 is already inside $41,792,825. Do not add them.

1 receipt from 1 donor is a single harvested donor. Arithmetic means: about $10,000 per receipt, about $10,000 per donor. Those ratios are not medians and not salaries. This page does not name the donors.

Reading $41,792,825 as a city total

The city dimension is larger than the join by construction. $41,792,825 includes $10,000. Adding the two numbers double-counts. 95746 lines include the 1 join receipts. 1 donor in the join are a subset of whoever appears in the city file; this packet does not publish a citywide unique-donor count.

Louisiana is the state of the contributor address. Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. Suburban recodes are not applied. Filers type SHREVEPORT or they do not.

Doctor is an exact stored string

On the industry side, the packet lists $10,000, 1 receipt, and 1 donor for DOCTOR. With the city filter, those same figures are the Shreveport intersection in this snapshot. Do not invent a larger national industry total. If you need Doctor in every city, use the industry hub, not this URL.

Occupation string labels can look like jobs or like firm names. Either way the rule is exact match. DOCTOR in SHREVEPORT is counted. A longer label that merely contains related words is a different key unless it is exactly this string.

Unitemized gifts and other FEC files

Omitted: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and non-individual sources. Omitted: every city except SHREVEPORT. Omitted: every grouping except DOCTOR. Included: $10,000 on 1 receipt from 1 donor.

A contributor address in LA does not mean the recipient was a Louisiana candidate. Donor city is not recipient city. $10,000 is not allocated by office or party on this page. Those splits are not in the packet.

Using Shreveport, LA and Doctor links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Shreveport, LA, Doctor, Louisiana campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $10,000 to federal spending in Louisiana. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Shreveport.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Doctor and Shreveport, LA. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $10,000 across 1 receipt from 1 donor is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $10,000 to $41,792,825; the first number is already inside the second.

What this page is: a city-industry join for Doctor in Shreveport, LA. What it is not: a hub restatement, a PAC-cycle page, a federal spending table, a unique-person census, or a motive story. $10,000 on 1 receipt from 1 donor versus $41,792,825 on 95746 lines (under 0.1%) is the payload. DOCTOR is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title. DOCTOR is a stored occupation string, not a license census and not every physician or MD spelling. Keep FEC and USAspending separate. Keep donor city separate from recipient city. Keep this snapshot separate from a later extract that may revise $10,000.

Arithmetic means for Doctor in Shreveport

About $10,000 per receipt and about $10,000 per donor are $10,000 divided by 1 and by 1. They are not medians. They are not salaries. They are not typical gifts. Repeat itemizations from a single harvested donor explain why 1 receipt and 1 donor can differ.

DOCTOR is a stored occupation string, not a license census and not every physician or MD spelling. Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. Quote $10,000 with both Doctor and Shreveport, LA in the same sentence. Source: FEC.gov.

A thin share (under 0.1%) does not mean Doctor is absent from Shreveport; it means other strings dominate the $41,792,825 book. A larger harvested cluster would still be an exact-match cluster, not a sector census. 1 donor is a single harvested donor. 1 receipt can exceed that headcount when the same person is itemized more than once. DOCTOR is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title. Neighbor cities, metro recodes, and Census places are not applied. Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. Do not fold $10,000 into a Louisiana industry total or into a USAspending obligation table.

Questions

How much did Doctor donors in Shreveport, LA give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry grouping DOCTOR and city SHREVEPORT total $10,000 across 1 receipt from 1 donor in this extract. That is the join, not Shreveport, LA's all-industry book of $41,792,825 on 95746 contributions. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Labels are filer-entered.

Does Doctor in Shreveport include every related job title?

No. DOCTOR is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings, parent names, and related titles are other keys and are omitted from $10,000. 1 donor and 1 receipt follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list or NAICS sector.

What share of Shreveport, LA itemized money is Doctor?

$10,000 is under 0.1% of the $41,792,825 Shreveport, LA city book (95746 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that the grouping is absent from Shreveport. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking or a Louisiana share.

Do Doctor donations in Shreveport fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $10,000 does not become a contract or assistance award because both datasets can mention Shreveport. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
