Doctor political contributions from Ohio

Doctor and Ohio as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DOCTOR and donor state OH produce $1,436,264, 3,050 contributions, and 480 donors. The occupation hub is $33,843,608, 97,205 contributions, and 7,623 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 4.2%; contribution share about 3.1% (3,050 of 97,205); donor share about 6.3% (480 of 7,623). Four hundred eighty Ohio donors are about 6.3% of 7,623 national donors; 3,050 contributions are about 3.1% of 97,205 national rows; dollars are about 4.2% of $33,843,608.

PHYSICIAN, MD, SURGEON, and DOCTOR OF MEDICINE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Doctor total. Do not stack DOCTOR with PHYSICIAN or MD into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

480 Ohio donors produced 3,050 contributions, about 6.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.8 rows per donor nationally (97,205 contributions from 7,623 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $471, against about $348 nationwide. Ohio’s about 4.2% dollar share from 480 people is a many-person slice; donor share (about 6.3%) runs ahead of dollar share.

DOCTOR as a short clinical string

DOCTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an Ohio medical license, a specialty, or an MD versus DO credential. The word on the form is the filter. The $33,843,608 national total is DOCTOR only. 7,623 donors produced 97,205 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 97,205 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). Seven thousand six hundred twenty-three national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state OH.

Ohio on the state side

480 Ohio donors produced 3,050 contributions totaling $1,436,264. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Ohio medical license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,436,264.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only DOCTOR. The Doctor occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 95.8% of the $33,843,608. Ohio’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OH. DOCTOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count licensed physicians, merge MD strings, or claim that Doctor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DOCTOR is not PHYSICIAN even when filers meant the same clinic.

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

Three numbers, two fields, one Doctor filter

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national DOCTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded DOCTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($32,407,344) 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 480 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 3,050 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,436,264 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the DOCTOR national total, drops a key. Four hundred eighty donors producing 3,050 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,436,264 headline.

Doctor donations holds the $33,843,608 national occupation total. Ohio 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. Ohio also has Philanthropist and Senior Vice President occupation-state ties.
