C00413955 as NeurosurgeryPAC

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (NEUROSURGERYPAC) received $2,211,425 from this occupation key. Other occupations on the same PAC sit outside the join. $2,211,425 is not the PAC’s all-occupation total and not AANS dues.

Independent expenditures are excluded. Cycle year is not in the packet. Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file.

Amended Schedule A filings move $2,211,425 and $6,036,706. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What 36.6 percent does not prove

A large dollar share is not an AANS membership rate and not a headcount of practicing neurosurgeons. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Do not add Surgeon’s ACS PAC join to this total.

Device-maker overlap and motive are not fields. The join is two FEC labels. Correlation of a specialty string with NeurosurgeryPAC is a filing pattern.

Should I add surgeon giving to ACS PAC?

Is $2.2 million NeurosurgeryPAC’s total fundraising?

No. $2,211,425 is the Neurosurgeon occupation slice. Other occupations on C00413955 sit on the committee overlay. Dues and independent expenditures are outside the source note. The live FEC committee file is the PAC-wide view. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Does 36.6 percent mean most neurosurgeons give to AANS PAC?

No. 36.6% is a dollar share of itemized Neurosurgeon occupation receipts, not a share of people and not a membership rate. $3,825,281 of the occupation book went to other federal committees. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
