Arizona donors listing occupation Ophthalmologist

Why Ophthalmologist and Arizona share one page
LobbyVault keeps a Ophthalmologist occupation page and a Arizona campaign-finance page. Neither page is this join. The join is $262,436 from 860 contributions and 36 donors where occupation equals OPHTHALMOLOGIST and state equals AZ. Against the occupation total of $6,828,666, that is 3.8%. Other states hold $6,566,230.
Do not treat 3.8% as Ophthalmologist workers’ share of all Arizona receipts. The state hub still holds every other occupation. Do not treat 36 as a headcount of everyone who held the job in Arizona. The count is donor keys whose itemized receipts grouped to this string. The packet does not publish a party split or an employer split for this pair.
What $6,828,666 on the occupation hub includes
On the occupation side, Ophthalmologist indexes $6,828,666 of itemized individual receipts across 1,380 donors. $262,436 is already inside that total; adding $262,436 to $6,828,666 would double-count the Arizona slice. Ophthalmologist occupation pages still mix Arizona with every other state.
OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. Keep the exact string on the citation so Ophthalmologist is not merged with a sibling title. Eye Surgeon, Optometrist, Physician, and MD are other keys. Use the occupation hub to see the title without a state filter, and use this tie page when the question is specifically Ophthalmologist in Arizona.
Donor keys, lines, and means for Ophthalmologist in Arizona
860 contributions totaling $262,436 is the operational definition of the Arizona side for this occupation. Repeat gifts from the same donor key raise the line count without raising 36. About 23.9 lines per donor is consistent with repeat itemization, but it is not proof of a giving program.
Mean $305 per line and $7,290 per donor should never be quoted as a typical Ophthalmologist gift in Arizona. Typical would need a median. This extract has none. 36 keys can hide a lopsided mix of large and small gifts — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.
The Arizona hub is not this cell
AZ on the record is a mailing-state code. Inside it, Ophthalmologist shows 860 contributions totaling $262,436 from 36 donors. Occupation mean about $7,290 per donor uses only those facts. That ratio is not household income and not a unique-person average.
The Arizona campaign-finance hub mixes Ophthalmologist with every other occupation string. This page does not. If a citation needs Ophthalmologist in Arizona, use this tie. If a citation needs all of Arizona across occupations, use the state hub. If a citation needs all of Ophthalmologist across states, use the occupation hub. Three different denominators.
Public records, not accusations
Public records, not accusations: $262,436 from 860 contributions and 36 donors is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or professional-bloc control. Correlation is not causation. Ophthalmologist × Arizona is a database join.
Researchers should keep OPHTHALMOLOGIST as the stored occupation string and AZ as the donor-state tag. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.
Coverage limits on the Ophthalmologist × Arizona cell
Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation OPHTHALMOLOGIST and donor state AZ. $262,436, 860 lines, 36 keys. The occupation total $6,828,666 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.
AZ is a mailing-state code. That fact locates the contributor address on the record. It does not explain motives. See Ophthalmologist donations, Arizona campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.
Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Ophthalmologist, donor state Arizona (AZ), $262,436 itemized, 860 contributions, 36 donors, 3.8% of $6,828,666 from 1,380 national donors. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. Eye Surgeon, Optometrist, Physician, and MD stay on other occupation pages. The Arizona 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 $262,436: treat it as payroll, treat 36 as a workforce census, treat 3.8% as a share of Arizona 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 $305 per contribution and $7,290 per donor remain attached to 860 and 36. About 23.9 lines per donor remains 860 divided by 36.
Questions
- What is the Arizona Ophthalmologist contribution total?
- $262,436 from 860 itemized contributions and 36 donor keys whose occupation grouped to OPHTHALMOLOGIST and whose state grouped to AZ. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $6,828,666. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.
- What share of Ophthalmologist occupation receipts is Arizona?
- 3.8%. That is $262,436 divided by $6,828,666. The complement is $6,566,230 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 3.8% (860 of 22,604).
- Does occupation OPHTHALMOLOGIST mean the donors were licensed?
- No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. 36 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $262,436 on 860 lines.
- Do these Arizona donations fund federal spending?
- No. $262,436 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Ophthalmologist and donor state Arizona. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $262,436. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
