Ophthalmologist donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Ophthalmologist × 2014

OPHTHALMOLOGIST plus cycle 2014 equals $544,209. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2014. Eye Surgeon, Optometrist, Physician, and MD are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a medical-board license file, an AMA specialty census, or medical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder $6,284,457.

Parent hubs: Ophthalmologist donations and the 2014 election cycle. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $544,209 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Ophthalmologist in 2014 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $544,209. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. The occupation page and the 2014 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Donor names are absent and are not invented.

OPHTHALMOLOGIST as typed, not a job census

$6,828,666 belongs to the exact string OPHTHALMOLOGIST across harvested cycles. It is not a medical-board license file, an AMA specialty census, or medical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — Eye Surgeon, Optometrist, Physician, and MD — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2014 slice is 8.0% of that title bucket. Share of OPHTHALMOLOGIST is not share of all 2014 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $544,209. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $6,828,666. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Ophthalmologist donations and the live 2014 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

907 Ophthalmologist receipts in a midterm year

487 donors and 907 receipts — about 1.9 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $600; mean per donor about $1,117. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 907 is a line count, not 487 one-time gifts. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by OPHTHALMOLOGIST. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $544,209.

2014 as a midterm FEC window next to Ophthalmologist

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2014 cycle is the Commission’s cycle tag on individual receipts, not a single calendar year of January filings only. Inside that window, this occupation cell is $544,209 from 907 contributions and 487 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle book remains $6,828,666.

The national 2014 hub still includes every other occupation. Occupation pages for Ophthalmologist still include every other cycle. Only this join isolates Ophthalmologist × 2014. Independent expenditures are omitted from $544,209. Adjacent pages for the 2014 election cycle, Ophthalmologist donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties keep those broader cuts.

Self-reported Ophthalmologist versus committee filings

Cite $544,209 as Ophthalmologist in 2014. Cite $6,828,666 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add a professional association’s own committee filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $544,209 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 8.0%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode OPHTHALMOLOGIST into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a midterm-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to read Ophthalmologist money in 2014

This join does not recode OPHTHALMOLOGIST into a medical-board license file, an AMA specialty census, or medical advice. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. If a researcher needs license or NAICS crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods without this occupation string, and bundled contributions that never carried OPHTHALMOLOGIST are outside $544,209. Independent expenditures are outside $544,209. Quote the cell as itemized individual receipts only.
