Louisiana donors listing occupation Medical Doctor

Why Medical Doctor and Louisiana share one page

LobbyVault keeps a Medical Doctor occupation page and a Louisiana campaign-finance page. Neither page is this join. The join is $152,239 from 132 contributions and 25 donors where occupation equals MEDICAL DOCTOR and state equals LA. Against the occupation total of $6,923,128, that is 2.2%. Other states hold $6,770,889.

Do not treat 2.2% as Medical Doctor workers’ share of all Louisiana receipts. The state hub still holds every other occupation. Do not treat 25 as a headcount of everyone who held the job in Louisiana. The count is donor keys whose itemized receipts grouped to this string. The packet does not publish a party split or an employer split for this pair.

What $6,923,128 on the occupation hub includes

On the occupation side, Medical Doctor indexes $6,923,128 of itemized individual receipts across 1,857 donors. $152,239 is already inside that total; adding $152,239 to $6,923,128 would double-count the Louisiana slice. Medical Doctor occupation pages still mix Louisiana with every other state.

MEDICAL DOCTOR is the spelled-out title. MD and Physician are other occupation keys. Specialty is unpublished on this string. Keep the exact string on the citation so Medical Doctor is not merged with a sibling title. Physician, MD, Doctor, and M.D. are other keys. Use the occupation hub to see the title without a state filter, and use this tie page when the question is specifically Medical Doctor in Louisiana.

Donor keys, lines, and means for Medical Doctor in Louisiana

132 contributions totaling $152,239 is the operational definition of the Louisiana side for this occupation. Repeat gifts from the same donor key raise the line count without raising 25. About 5.3 lines per donor is consistent with repeat itemization, but it is not proof of a giving program.

Mean $1,153 per line and $6,090 per donor should never be quoted as a typical Medical Doctor gift in Louisiana. Typical would need a median. This extract has none. 25 keys can hide a lopsided mix of large and small gifts — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.

The Louisiana hub is not this cell

LA on the record is a mailing-state code. Inside it, Medical Doctor shows 132 contributions totaling $152,239 from 25 donors. Occupation mean about $6,090 per donor uses only those facts. That ratio is not household income and not a unique-person average.

The Louisiana campaign-finance hub mixes Medical Doctor with every other occupation string. This page does not. If a citation needs Medical Doctor in Louisiana, use this tie. If a citation needs all of Louisiana across occupations, use the state hub. If a citation needs all of Medical Doctor across states, use the occupation hub. Three different denominators.

Public records, not accusations

Public records, not accusations: $152,239 from 132 contributions and 25 donors is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or professional-bloc control. Correlation is not causation. Medical Doctor × Louisiana is a database join.

Researchers should keep MEDICAL DOCTOR as the stored occupation string and LA as the donor-state tag. MEDICAL DOCTOR is the spelled-out title. MD and Physician are other occupation keys. Specialty is unpublished on this string. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Coverage limits on the Medical Doctor × Louisiana cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation MEDICAL DOCTOR and donor state LA. $152,239, 132 lines, 25 keys. The occupation total $6,923,128 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

LA is a mailing-state code. That fact locates the contributor address on the record. It does not explain motives. See Medical Doctor donations, Louisiana campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Medical Doctor, donor state Louisiana (LA), $152,239 itemized, 132 contributions, 25 donors, 2.2% of $6,923,128 from 1,857 national donors. MEDICAL DOCTOR is the spelled-out title. MD and Physician are other occupation keys. Specialty is unpublished on this string. Physician, MD, Doctor, and M.D. stay on other occupation pages. The Louisiana campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

What is the Louisiana Medical Doctor contribution total?

$152,239 from 132 itemized contributions and 25 donor keys whose occupation grouped to MEDICAL DOCTOR and whose state grouped to LA. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $6,923,128. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Medical Doctor occupation receipts is Louisiana?

2.2%. That is $152,239 divided by $6,923,128. The complement is $6,770,889 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 0.62% (132 of 21,380).

Does occupation MEDICAL DOCTOR mean the donors were licensed?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. MEDICAL DOCTOR is the spelled-out title. MD and Physician are other occupation keys. Specialty is unpublished on this string. 25 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $152,239 on 132 lines.

Do these Louisiana donations fund federal spending?

No. $152,239 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Medical Doctor and donor state Louisiana. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $152,239. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
