Neurosurgeon occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Neurosurgeon as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation NEUROSURGEON and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $587,748, 534 contributions, and 328 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Surgeon, neurosurgery, physician, and MD are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an ABNS roster, a hospital privileging list, or medical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Neurosurgeon donations at /occupations/neurosurgeon/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $587,748 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Neurosurgeon in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $587,748. Spine versus cranial versus academic versus private practice is unpublished for Neurosurgeon in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and five hundred-plus receipts is a concentrated surgical-specialty cell with a higher mean than many general MD strings.

NEUROSURGEON, not generic surgeon

$6.0 million ($6,036,706) belongs to the exact string NEUROSURGEON across harvested cycles. It is not an ABNS roster, a hospital privileging list, or medical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — surgeon, neurosurgery, physician, and MD — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 9.7% of that title bucket ($587,748 of $6,036,706). Share of NEUROSURGEON is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $5,448,958, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $587,748. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $6,036,706. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Neurosurgeon donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $587,748.

328 neurosurgeon donors and 534 receipts in 2008

328 donors and 534 receipts — about 1.6 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $1,101; mean per donor about $1,792. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and five hundred-plus receipts is a concentrated surgical-specialty cell with a higher mean than many general MD strings. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 534 is a line count, not 328 one-time gifts. Spine versus cranial versus academic versus private practice is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by NEUROSURGEON. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $587,748. A later Neurosurgeon cycle cell, if published, is a different join. This packet cites 2008 only.

Surgical specialty versus physician PACs

Cite $587,748 as Neurosurgeon in 2008. Cite $6,036,706 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add physician-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $587,748 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 9.7%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode NEUROSURGEON into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Neurosurgeon money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation NEUROSURGEON, election cycle 2008, $587,748 in itemized individual contributions, 534 receipts, and 328 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $1,101 per line and $1,792 per donor in the cell. If the live Neurosurgeon donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 534 as unique workers in the trade named by NEUROSURGEON.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Neurosurgeon donations rolls every cycle into one NEUROSURGEON running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Neurosurgeon × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 534 receipts and $587,748. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Surgeon as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $5,448,958 outside 2008. Most of the $6,036,706 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. A later Neurosurgeon cycle cell, if published, is a different join. This packet cites 2008 only. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 1.6. That ratio is 534 divided by 328, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
