20,761 contributions and a ~$266 mean

AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE received $5,529,547 from Doctor of Optometry-coded receipts across 20,761 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $266 per contribution. 20,761 lines are not 20,761 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $5,529,547 total.

What 94.3% of optometry-coded dollars is not

A 94.3% share of Doctor of Optometry-coded dollars into C00024968 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean AOA PAC is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $5,529,547 as 94.3% of $5,866,385 into C00024968, with 20,761 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 20,761 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job.
