Wisconsin MD as a physician-abbreviation cell
Occupation MD and donor state WI produce $388,277, 1,503 contributions, and 55 donors. The occupation hub is $14,302,179, 88,572 contributions, and 3,090 donors. Wisconsin’s dollar share is about 2.7%; contribution share about 1.7% (1,503 of 88,572); donor share about 1.8% (55 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 Wisconsin occupations.
PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D., if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack MD with those strings into a single Wisconsin 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.
55 Wisconsin donors produced 1,503 contributions, about 27.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 28.7 rows per donor nationally (88,572 contributions from 3,090 donors). Mean gift size in Wisconsin is the distinctive feature of this cell: 1.7% of national MD contributions against a 2.7% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Wisconsin cell is about $258, against about $161 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.
MD versus PHYSICIAN and DOCTOR on Wisconsin lines
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 Wisconsin (WI). 88,572 national contributions make MD a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Wisconsin 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.
Wisconsin as the state on the itemized record
55 Wisconsin donors produced 1,503 contributions totaling $388,277. Donor state WI is the address on the record, not proof of a Wisconsin license, and not a limit to Wisconsin candidates. WI is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $388,277. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from WI-coded donors.
The Wisconsin campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WI. This join is only MD. The MD occupation hub without Wisconsin still holds about 97.3% of the $14,302,179 (remainder $13,913,902). Wisconsin’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to WI. MD is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.
License numbers are not in the join
A 2.7% dollar share in Wisconsin 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 55 unique donors as a state medical-board roster. MD is not interchangeable with PHYSICIAN, DOCTOR, and M.D..
Quote $388,277, 1,503 contributions, and 55 donors for MD in Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin—whenever the dollars are quoted.
Wisconsin MD dollars next to gift and donor counts
A complete claim names MD and Wisconsin (WI), then $388,277, 1,503 contributions, 55 donors, and 2.7% of $14,302,179, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Wisconsin: $13,913,902. Mean gift $258 is $388,277 divided by 1,503 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 Wisconsin 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 ($13,913,902) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 55 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 Wisconsin finance
MD donations holds the $14,302,179 national occupation total. Wisconsin 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.

Open Wisconsin campaign finance for every occupation coded to WI; open MD donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
