Where cycle 2014 meets occupation MD, itemized individual contributions sum to $551,411 across 855 lines and 427 donor keys.

This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the occupation side, the cycle side, the gift math, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of MD donations across years, and it is not a restatement of the 2014 cycle across occupations.

MD is the occupation string, a common physician abbreviation. It is not Maryland the office state and not a verified medical license. Physician and Doctor are other keys. A midterm cycle tag on 2014 does not explain $551,411. Independent expenditures are omitted. Committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table are omitted. Federal spending awards are omitted.

Sibling titles next to MD

Physician, Doctor, M.D., and Medical Doctor are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of MD and they are not folded into $551,411. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 3.9%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

MD is the occupation string, a common physician abbreviation. It is not Maryland the office state and not a verified medical license. Physician and Doctor are other keys. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: MD in 2014 for $551,411.

Reading 855 contributions as a line count

Line count 855 and donor count 427 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried MD in 2014? 855. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 427. How many dollars? $551,411. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share

$551,411 ÷ $14,302,179 = 3.9%. $13,750,768 ÷ $14,302,179 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s cycle cell and occupation total only. They do not use 427 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 427 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 3.9% dollar share means other cycles still hold $13,750,768 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that MD was quiet or loud in 2014 politics. Other years are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.

What this join does not prove

This page does not rank MD against other occupations, does not call 2014 a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A MD occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.

Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See the 2014 election cycle, MD donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $551,411 is that subset for 2014. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total 2014 receipts.

MD is the occupation string, a common physician abbreviation. It is not Maryland the office state and not a verified medical license. Physician and Doctor are other keys. Keep MD and 2014 in the same sentence as $551,411. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation MD, cycle 2014, $551,411 itemized, 855 contributions, 427 donors, 3.9% of $14,302,179. MD is the occupation string, a common physician abbreviation. It is not Maryland the office state and not a verified medical license. Physician and Doctor are other keys. Physician, Doctor, M.D., and Medical Doctor stay on other occupation pages. The 2014 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

How much did MD-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $551,411 in itemized individual contributions for occupation MD in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 855 contributions and 427 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $14,302,179, so 2014 is 3.9% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every md who donated in 2014?

No. The 427 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to MD in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $551,411 on 855 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of MD occupation money is the 2014 cycle?

3.9%: $551,411 of $14,302,179. The remaining $13,750,768 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $551,411 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.
