Two dimensions, one cell: Doctor of Optometry and Louisiana
Doctor of Optometry filers in Louisiana reported $175,399. The same occupation string nationwide is $5,866,385 from 1,912 donors. Subtract and other states hold $5,690,986. Divide and Louisiana is 3.0% of the occupation. Count and the files are 518 contributions and 42 donors. That is the entire numeric claim set. Louisiana’s Doctor of Optometry join shares the national occupation total with Oklahoma’s page; the two state filters are pairwise cuts, not a stacked South ranking.
The page exists because two tables meet. The occupation table answers how large DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is across states. The state table answers how Louisiana looks across occupations. This tie answers only how Doctor of Optometry looked inside Louisiana. Mean about $339 per gift uses $175,399 and 518 only.
Occupation hub versus this Louisiana cell
Doctor of Optometry’s national total of $5,866,385 is the occupation slice from 1,912 donors. The Louisiana cell is $175,399. 3.0% names the cell as a share of the occupation. $5,690,986 names the complement inside the same string. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is the occupation of the donor as typed, not a claim about a professional association.
How 518 lines and 42 keys sit together
What the state side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged occupation DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY and donor state LA, summing to $175,399 across 518 contributions and 42 donors. What it excludes: other states for Doctor of Optometry, other occupations for Louisiana, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts.
Mean about $339 should be quoted with both inputs. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is the degree-style title. Optometrist and OD are other keys. Ophthalmologist is a different medical specialty string. Professional-association PACs file as committees; mixing PAC spending with $175,399 would blend FEC tables.
3.0% is an occupation-state share, not a ranking
Share language that is allowed: Doctor of Optometry occupation receipts were 3.0% of this string’s harvested total from Louisiana ($175,399 of $5,866,385). Share language that is not allowed: Doctor of Optometry accounted for 3.0% of federal spending, 3.0% of all Louisiana donors, or 3.0% of votes. Those claims need other tables.
The remainder $5,690,986 is not a list of rival occupations. It is a leftover sum inside the same occupation string, other states. This page does not itemize it by state.
Keep the two dollar columns labeled
Label every dollar figure when you reuse it. $175,399 = Doctor of Optometry itemized individual receipts from donor state Louisiana. $5,866,385 = Doctor of Optometry occupation receipts nationwide. $5,690,986 = other states for the same string. If a sentence uses one of those figures without the label, rewrite the sentence.
The four internal links exist so readers can leave the join for the matching hub. Louisiana campaign finance holds the state mix. Doctor of Optometry donations holds the occupation mix. All occupations lists other titles. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Source: FEC.gov.
Keeping Doctor of Optometry and Louisiana on the same line
Every reuse of $175,399 should still say Doctor of Optometry and Louisiana. Every reuse of $5,866,385 should still say the occupation string nationwide. Every reuse of 42 should still say donor keys, not licensed workers. That discipline is the point of a tie page.
Optometrist, OD, and Ophthalmologist remain other keys. Independent expenditures remain another table. USAspending remains another statute. FEC.gov remains the source. Occupation labels remain filer-entered.
