Doctor political contributions from Texas

Doctor and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DOCTOR and donor state TX produce $3,043,959, 9,535 contributions, and 701 donors. The occupation hub is $33,843,608, 97,205 contributions, and 7,623 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 9.0%; contribution share about 9.8% (9,535 of 97,205); donor share about 9.2% (701 of 7,623). Seven hundred one Texas donors are about 9.2% of 7,623 national donors; 9,535 contributions are about 9.8% of 97,205 national rows; dollars are about 9.0% of $33,843,608.

PHYSICIAN, MD, and SURGEON, 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 Texas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

701 Texas donors produced 9,535 contributions, about 13.6 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 Texas cell is about $319, against about $348 nationwide. Texas’s about 9.0% share of $33,843,608 sits near the people share (about 9.2%) rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of checks.

DOCTOR as a clinical shorthand

DOCTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Texas medical license, a specialty, or a hospital privilege. One 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 Texas (TX). Seven thousand six hundred twenty-three national donors make DOCTOR a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state TX.

Texas on the donor-state key

701 Texas donors produced 9,535 contributions totaling $3,043,959. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. TX is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,043,959.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only DOCTOR. The Doctor occupation hub without Texas still holds about 91.0% of the $33,843,608. Texas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TX. DOCTOR is only this filter.

What the Doctor–Texas join is not

This page does not count licensed physicians, merge MD dollars, 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 TX 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 Texas 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 ($30,799,649) 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 701 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 9,535 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,043,959 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the DOCTOR national total, drops a key. Seven hundred one donors producing 9,535 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $3,043,959 headline.

Related tables

Doctor donations holds the $33,843,608 national occupation total. Texas 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. PHYSICIAN and MD are different occupation hubs if those strings exist.
