It is not a restatement of Neurosurgeon donations across states, and it is not a restatement of Tennessee campaign finance across occupations.

Sibling titles next to Neurosurgeon

Surgeon, Physician, MD, and Neurological Surgeon are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of NEUROSURGEON and they are not folded into $180,381. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 3.0%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

NEUROSURGEON is the specialty string. Surgeon and Physician are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: NEUROSURGEON in Tennessee for $180,381.

Reading 156 contributions as a line count

Line count 156 and donor count 40 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried NEUROSURGEON and state TN? 156. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 40. How many dollars? $180,381. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share

$180,381 ÷ $6,036,706 = 3.0%. $5,856,325 ÷ $6,036,706 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 40 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 40 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 3.0% dollar share means other states still hold $5,856,325 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Neurosurgeon was quiet or loud in Tennessee politics. Other states are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.

What this join does not prove

This page does not rank Tennessee as more or less Neurosurgeon-driven than other states, does not call the cell a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A NEUROSURGEON occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.

Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See Tennessee campaign finance, Neurosurgeon donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $180,381 is that subset for Tennessee. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Tennessee receipts.

NEUROSURGEON is the specialty string. Surgeon and Physician are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Keep Neurosurgeon and Tennessee in the same sentence as $180,381. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Neurosurgeon, donor state Tennessee (TN), $180,381 itemized, 156 contributions, 40 donors, 3.0% of $6,036,706 from 1,153 national donors. NEUROSURGEON is the specialty string. Surgeon and Physician are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Surgeon, Physician, MD, and Neurological Surgeon stay on other occupation pages. The Tennessee campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $180,381: treat it as payroll, treat 40 as a workforce census, treat 3.0% as a share of Tennessee statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $1,156 per contribution and $4,510 per donor remain attached to 156 and 40. About 3.9 lines per donor remains 156 divided by 40.
