MD political contributions from New Jersey

The MD–New Jersey intersection

Occupation MD and donor state NJ produce $775,478, 1,906 contributions, and 114 donors. The occupation hub is $14,302,179, 88,572 contributions, and 3,090 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 5.4%; contribution share about 2.2% (1,906 of 88,572); donor share about 3.7% (114 of 3,090). One hundred fourteen New Jersey donors sit inside 3,090 national MD donors. Dollars ($775,478 of $14,302,179) and rows (1,906 of 88,572) describe a mid-size physician-style cell.

PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D., if used with punctuation or a longer title, sit in other hubs. Do not stack MD with PHYSICIAN or DOCTOR into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

114 New Jersey donors produced 1,906 contributions, about 16.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 28.7 rows per donor nationally (88,572 contributions from 3,090 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New Jersey cell is about $407, against about $161 nationwide. New Jersey’s $775,478 is not a hospital medical-staff list. MD as occupation is a two-letter string. Do not confuse it with donor state MD on Analyst or other Maryland ties.

MD as a two-letter medical occupation string

MD is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a medical license, a specialty, or a DEA number. The letters on the form are the filter. The $14,302,179 national total is MD only. 3,090 donors produced 88,572 contributions in that occupation bucket.

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 New Jersey (NJ). Eighty-eight thousand five hundred seventy-two national contributions make MD a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the New Jersey overlap.

New Jersey as donor state

114 New Jersey donors produced 1,906 contributions totaling $775,478. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey medical license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $775,478.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only MD. The MD occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 94.6% of the $14,302,179. New Jersey’s state hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. MD is only this filter.

What not to infer from MD plus New Jersey

This page does not count licensed physicians, rank hospitals, or claim that MD-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. MD is not PHYSICIAN and not DOCTOR even when filers meant the same clinic. It is also not the Maryland state code.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. MD is not a medical-board extract. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. NPI numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one MD filter

Subtract the New Jersey 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 ($13,526,701) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 114 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 1,906 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $775,478 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the MD national total, drops a key. One hundred fourteen donors producing 1,906 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $775,478 headline.
