Ophthalmologist political contributions from Michigan

Ophthalmologist and Michigan as a specialty-title join

Occupation OPHTHALMOLOGIST and donor state MI produce $307,503, 1,375 contributions, and 63 donors. The occupation hub is $6,828,666, 22,604 contributions, and 1,380 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (4.5%, 6.1%, 4.6%). Michigan tracks the national Ophthalmologist mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Michigan Ophthalmologist dollars sit on a modest donor count inside a specialty clinical title.

Ophthalmologist is a specialty clinical title as typed, not an Optometrist recode. Nearby strings — OPTOMETRIST, EYE SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and MD — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $307,503 or $6,828,666. OPTOMETRIST is a different stored string. Do not add those dollars to this ophthalmology cell.

Sixty-three Michigan donors produced 1,375 contributions, about 21.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.4 rows per donor nationally (22,604 contributions from 1,380 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Michigan cell are about $4,881, versus about $4,948 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

OPHTHALMOLOGIST versus Optometrist as stored strings

OPHTHALMOLOGIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an MD, a Michigan medical license, or ABO board certification. The national grouping is 1,380 donors, 22,604 contributions, and $6,828,666.

22,604 contributions from 1,380 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Michigan’s 1,375 contributions from 63 donors is the MI-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan.

Sixty-three Michigan donors on the state key

Sixty-three Michigan donors produced 1,375 contributions totaling $307,503. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan professional license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only OPHTHALMOLOGIST. Subtract $307,503 from $6,828,666 and $6,521,163 remains coded Ophthalmologist in every other state combined (21,229 contributions, 1,317 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

A specialty cell is not a LARA license extract

This page does not measure ophthalmologist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Ophthalmologist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Michigan LARA medical-license extract, not an AAO membership roll, and not a practice census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MI is not recipient geography.

Eye-care titles that stay on separate hubs

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $307,503, 1,375 contributions, and 63 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the Ophthalmologist national total, drops a key.

Ophthalmologist donations holds the $6,828,666 national occupation total. Michigan campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. OPTOMETRIST, EYE SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. OPTOMETRIST is a different stored string. Do not add those dollars to this ophthalmology cell.
