MD political contributions from Michigan

MD-coded contributions from Michigan addresses

Occupation MD and donor state MI produce $389,078, 3,128 contributions, and 56 donors. The occupation hub is $14,302,179, 88,572 contributions, and 3,090 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 2.7%; contribution share about 3.5% (3,128 of 88,572); donor share about 1.8% (56 of 3,090). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the MD hub and not a restatement of all Michigan occupations.

PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D., if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack MD with those strings into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

56 Michigan donors produced 3,128 contributions, about 55.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 28.7 rows per donor nationally (88,572 contributions from 3,090 donors). Line volume in Michigan is the distinctive feature of this cell: 3.5% of national MD contributions against a 2.7% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Michigan cell is about $124, against about $161 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

The two-letter MD occupation key

MD is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $14,302,179 national total is MD only. 3,090 donors produced 88,572 contributions in that occupation bucket. MD is a two-letter medical abbreviation as typed, not a medical-board license extract. Nearby labels PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D. remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 88,572 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan (MI). 88,572 national contributions make MD a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Michigan overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Michigan donor state on MD-coded lines

56 Michigan donors produced 3,128 contributions totaling $389,078. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. MI is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $389,078. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MI-coded donors.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only MD. The MD occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 97.3% of the $14,302,179 (remainder $13,913,101). Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. MD is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Medical-board licenses are not in the join

A 2.7% dollar share in Michigan does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 56 unique donors as a state medical-board roster. MD is not interchangeable with PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D..

Quote $389,078, 3,128 contributions, and 56 donors for MD in Michigan, against $14,302,179 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—MD and Michigan—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Michigan MD dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names MD and Michigan (MI), then $389,078, 3,128 contributions, 56 donors, and 2.7% of $14,302,179, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Michigan: $13,913,101. Mean gift $124 is $389,078 divided by 3,128 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Michigan dollars on this page from the national MD occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded MD in every other state combined. That remainder ($13,913,101) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 56 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Physician-abbreviation pages and Michigan finance

MD donations holds the $14,302,179 national occupation total. Michigan campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Physician abbreviation strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Questions

How much have MD donors in Michigan given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation MD and state Michigan total $389,078, from 3,128 contributions and 56 donors. Nationwide, MD-coded receipts are $14,302,179 from 88,572 contributions and 3,090 donors. Michigan is about 2.7% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include filers who wrote PHYSICIAN or DOCTOR?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string MD and state is MI. 56 donors are not a state medical-board roster. PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D., if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to MD. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of MD FEC money is from Michigan?

About 2.7% of the $14,302,179 occupation total is in this Michigan join ($389,078). Michigan also accounts for about 3.5% of contributions (3,128 of 88,572) and about 1.8% of donors (56 of 3,090). Remainder outside Michigan: $13,913,101. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Is this a Michigan medical-board roster?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Michigan. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $389,078 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Michigan campaign finance for every occupation coded to MI; open MD donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
