Doctor of Optometry occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Doctor of Optometry as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $573,603, 1,321 contributions, and 684 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Optometrist, OD, optometry, and eye doctor are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NBEO or state optometry-board roster, or clinical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Doctor Of Optometry donations at /occupations/doctor-of-optometry/ and the 2012 election cycle at /election-cycles/2012/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $573,603 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Doctor of Optometry in 2012 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $573,603. Retail versus medical-model versus academic optometry is unpublished for Doctor of Optometry in 2012. The occupation page and the 2012 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Nearly seven hundred donor keys and over thirteen hundred receipts is a broader eye-care title cell than many physician specialties in this slice.

DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY, not optometrist

$5.9 million ($5,866,385) belongs to the exact string DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY across harvested cycles. It is not an NBEO or state optometry-board roster, or clinical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — optometrist, OD, optometry, and eye doctor — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2012 slice is 9.8% of that title bucket ($573,603 of $5,866,385). Share of DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is not share of all 2012 receipts. The remainder, $5,292,782, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $573,603. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,866,385. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Doctor Of Optometry donations and the live 2012 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $573,603.

684 Doctor of Optometry donors and 1,321 receipts in 2012

684 donors and 1,321 receipts — about 1.9 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $434; mean per donor about $839. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Nearly seven hundred donor keys and over thirteen hundred receipts is a broader eye-care title cell than many physician specialties in this slice. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,321 is a line count, not 684 one-time gifts. Retail versus medical-model versus academic optometry is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $573,603. Ophthalmologist is a medical-specialty string, not a recode of Doctor of Optometry. Keep the keys apart.

Degree phrase versus association PACs

Cite $573,603 as Doctor of Optometry in 2012. Cite $5,866,385 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add optometry-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $573,603 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 9.8%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Doctor of Optometry money in 2012

A clean footnote names occupation DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY, election cycle 2012, $573,603 in itemized individual contributions, 1,321 receipts, and 684 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $434 per line and $839 per donor in the cell. If the live Doctor Of Optometry donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Doctor Of Optometry donations rolls every cycle into one DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY running total. The 2012 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2012 total. Only the Doctor of Optometry × 2012 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,321 receipts and $573,603. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Optometrist as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $5,292,782 outside 2012. Most of the $5,866,385 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Ophthalmologist is a medical-specialty string, not a recode of Doctor of Optometry. Keep the keys apart. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 1.9. That ratio is 1,321 divided by 684, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
