How much did MD-tagged donors give in 2012?

The join records $1,084,895 in itemized individual contributions for occupation MD in the 2012 FEC cycle, from 1,641 contributions and 697 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $14,302,179, so 2012 is 7.6% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every md who donated in 2012?

No. The 697 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to MD in 2012. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $1,084,895 on 1,641 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of MD occupation money is the 2012 cycle?

7.6%: $1,084,895 of $14,302,179. The remaining $13,217,284 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $1,084,895 divided by $14,302,179, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live MD and 2012 tables?

Md donations carries the $14,302,179 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle hub places MD beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the MD × 2012 intersection only.

MD occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

$1,084,895 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation MD and the 2012 election cycle. That cell covers 1,641 contributions from 697 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $14,302,179, so 2012 is 7.6% of the labeled roll. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not a state medical-license file, an AMA membership roster, or medical advice.

MD as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation MD and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,084,895, 1,641 contributions, and 697 donors. MD in 2012 is a two-letter credential abbreviation on receipts. FEC.gov does not expand it to a specialty. The occupation hub is $14,302,179 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2012’s dollar share is 7.6% ($1,084,895 of $14,302,179). The remainder, $13,217,284, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Nearly seven hundred donor keys and more than sixteen hundred lines is a high-volume clinical-abbreviation cell. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,084,895.

The MD abbreviation across every cycle on file

$14,302,179 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Physician, Doctor, and M.D. are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $14,302,179 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Md donations for the $14,302,179 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

697 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,084,895 by 1,641 contributions yields about $661 per gift. Dividing by 697 donors yields about $1,557 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.4 (1,641 ÷ 697). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

697 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 697 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. Physician, Doctor, and Neurosurgeon are longer clinical keys. This page quotes only the two-letter MD grouping.

What MD dollars in 2012 are not

A 7.6% share of MD-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,084,895 as itemized individual receipts tagged MD in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite MD × 2012

A complete claim names MD and 2012, then $1,084,895, 1,641 contributions, 697 donors, and 7.6% of $14,302,179, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 697 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—MD and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $661 and mean per donor $1,557 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Physician as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $13,217,284 outside 2012. Most of the $14,302,179 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. Physician, Doctor, and M.D. are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of MD on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 2.4. That ratio is 1,641 divided by 697, not a measure of turnout.
