Neurosurgeon occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Neurosurgeon as occupation, 2012 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation NEUROSURGEON and election cycle 2012. Matching rows sum to $1,170,278, 677 contributions, and 393 donors. NEUROSURGEON on a 2012 receipt is a clinical specialty title. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. The occupation hub is $6,036,706 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2012 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2012’s dollar share is 19.4% ($1,170,278 of $6,036,706). The remainder, $4,866,428, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. Hundreds of donor keys and hundreds of lines is a specialty-medicine cell with a higher mean than many general MD strings. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $1,170,278.

The NEUROSURGEON string across every cycle on file

$6,036,706 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2012. Surgeon, Physician, and MD are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Adding those keys to $6,036,706 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Neurosurgeon donations for the $6,036,706 roll. Open the 2012 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures.

393 donors and a four-figure mean gift

Dividing $1,170,278 by 677 contributions yields about $1,729 per gift. Dividing by 393 donors yields about $2,978 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.7 (677 ÷ 393). Those ratios describe this string in 2012, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

393 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2012. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 393 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2012 receipts beside this cell. This page is not a ranking of specialties by civic engagement. Quote the 2012 cell only when the sentence names NEUROSURGEON.

What a 2012 Neurosurgeon share is not

A 19.4% share of Neurosurgeon-coded dollars from 2012 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2012 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $1,170,278 as itemized individual receipts tagged NEUROSURGEON in 2012, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Neurosurgeon × 2012

A complete claim names Neurosurgeon and 2012, then $1,170,278, 677 contributions, 393 donors, and 19.4% of $6,036,706, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 393 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Neurosurgeon and 2012—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,729 and mean per donor $2,978 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2012 hub, and Surgeon as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $4,866,428 outside 2012. 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. Surgeon, Physician, and MD are other occupation keys if stored as different strings. Those titles are not parents of NEUROSURGEON on this page. Gifts per donor in 2012 average about 1.7. That ratio is 677 divided by 393, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Neurosurgeon-tagged donors give in 2012?

The join records $1,170,278 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Neurosurgeon in the 2012 FEC cycle, from 677 contributions and 393 donors.

Does this count every neurosurgeon who donated in 2012?

No. The 393 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to NEUROSURGEON in 2012. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $1,170,278 on 677 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.
