Ophthalmologist political money — 2010 cycle

Ophthalmologist as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation OPHTHALMOLOGIST and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $411,477, 734 contributions, and 422 donors. The occupation hub is $6,828,666 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2010’s dollar share is 6.0% ($411,477 of $6,828,666). The remainder, $6,417,189, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. 734 lines from 422 donors—about 1.7 gifts per person—is arithmetic on the packet, not a unique-person headcount of everyone who held the job. 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 $411,477.

Ophthalmologist’s 2010 share of the lifetime string

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $6,828,666. The 2010 slice of $411,477 is about 6.0% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.0%. Treating 2010 as the entire Ophthalmologist FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $6,828,666 as the denominator for the 6.0% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The occupation hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2010 from being folded silently into $6,828,666.

422 donors and about 1.7 gifts per donor

Dividing $411,477 by 734 contributions yields about $561 per gift. Dividing by 422 donors yields about $975 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 1.7 (734 ÷ 422). Those ratios describe this string in 2010, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

422 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2010. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 422 figure.

What 6.0% of Ophthalmologist-coded dollars is not

A 6.0% share of Ophthalmologist-coded dollars from 2010 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 2010 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $411,477 as itemized individual receipts tagged OPHTHALMOLOGIST in 2010, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

The 6.0% ratio is $411,477 divided by $6,828,666. Other even-year joins for OPHTHALMOLOGIST are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $6,417,189. Citing 2010 as if it were the Ophthalmologist lifetime total would overstate this cell by $6,417,189.

A mean of $561 per itemized line and $975 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 734 contributions remaining larger than 422 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

How to cite Ophthalmologist × 2010

A complete claim names Ophthalmologist and 2010, then $411,477, 734 contributions, 422 donors, and 6.0% of $6,828,666, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 422 keys into licensed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Ophthalmologist and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $561 and mean per donor $975 travel with those counts.

FEC cycle 2010 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $411,477 if they were itemized against OPHTHALMOLOGIST. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Optometrist, eye surgeon, physician, and MD remain other occupation keys if stored separately. They are not inside $411,477 or $6,828,666 unless the stored string was exactly OPHTHALMOLOGIST.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and neighboring titles

The occupation hub still holds $6,417,189 outside 2010. Most of the $6,828,666 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Optometrist, eye surgeon, physician, and MD are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of OPHTHALMOLOGIST on this page. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 1.7. That ratio is 734 divided by 422, not a measure of turnout.

Quote both keys: Ophthalmologist and 2010. Quote the dollars: $411,477. Quote the volume: 734 contributions, 422 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave USAspending dollars and named donors out.

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $6,828,666. The 2010 cell of $411,477 is about 6.0% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.0% ($6,417,189) on the occupation hub. Do not treat 2010 as the whole Ophthalmologist story. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates by occupation and cycle.

Does this count every ophthalmologist who donated in 2010?

No. The 422 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to OPHTHALMOLOGIST in 2010. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $411,477 on 734 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate. Optometrist, eye surgeon, physician, and MD are other keys if stored separately.

Where are the live Ophthalmologist and 2010 tables?

Ophthalmologist donations carries the $6,828,666 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle hub places Ophthalmologist beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Ophthalmologist × 2010 intersection only.
