Neurosurgeon donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

2010 filtered to Neurosurgeon

Apply the Neurosurgeon filter to the 2010 election cycle and the remaining money is $489,236. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 517 contributions and 318 donors. The occupation overlay lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Neurosurgeon is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 318 unique donors matched the stored string in 2010. Repeat gifts can raise 517 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Neurosurgeon total of $6,036,706 still includes other windows. Citing $6,036,706 as if it were 2010 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2010 hub as if it were Neurosurgeon-only would overstate the year. NEUROSURGEON is a specialty title. Neurologist and surgeon are other keys if those characters appear. License numbers are not in this packet.

8.1% of the Neurosurgeon roll

8.1% of stored Neurosurgeon money is tagged 2010 ($489,236). 91.9% is not ($5,547,470). Both percentages use $6,036,706 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2010 so $6,036,706 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Surgeon, physician, MD, and neurologist are omitted from both figures.

How 318 donors produced 517 gifts

Contribution count (517) and donor count (318) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $489,236 is their dollar sum. This is a mid-size cell.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 318 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract.

Dropping the Neurosurgeon filter

Dropping the Neurosurgeon filter returns the reader to the 2010 election cycle index. That index is not $489,236. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 517 contributions, 318 donors, $489,236.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Neurosurgeon cannot be ranked as a percent of 2010 national itemized giving. 8.1% remains a share of $6,036,706 only.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

This join refuses several claims: that $489,236 bought federal contracts; that 8.1% measures political intensity; that 318 donors are a workforce; that surgeon, physician, MD, and neurologist belong in this cell. Each refused claim would require a table that is not in the packet.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation NEUROSURGEON ∩ cycle 2010 = $489,236 itemized individual contributions, 517 receipts, 318 donors, 8.1% of $6,036,706. Neighbors remain surgeon, physician, MD, and neurologist. Unpublished split: academic versus private-practice versus hospital-employed neurosurgery. Not recoded into an ABNS diplomate roster, a hospital medical-staff list, or a CMS specialty file. Source remains FEC.gov. NEUROSURGEON is a specialty title. Neurologist and surgeon are other keys if those characters appear. License numbers are not in this packet.

Itemized is the receipt class. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee-to-committee transfers sit outside $489,236. 318 unique donors are contributor keys, not a named roster. 517 is a line count. Mean gift $946 and mean per donor $1,538 stay arithmetic on packet integers.

All occupations is the directory for surgeon, physician, MD, and neurologist. All FEC ties is the directory for other occupation-cycle cells. Neurosurgeon donations holds $6,036,706 without the 2010 filter. The 2010 election cycle holds every occupation for that window. Only this URL holds both filters at $489,236.
