Ophthalmologist and Minnesota as overlapping FEC fields

Where Ophthalmologist sits inside Minnesota FEC totals

Donor state Minnesota (MN) and Ophthalmologist (OPHTHALMOLOGIST) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Ophthalmologist and you are citing the Minnesota hub across every occupation. Drop Minnesota and you are citing an occupation hub that still mixes other states. Keep both and the number is $200,432 from 265 contributions and 23 donors. Minnesota’s Ophthalmologist cell is 23 donor keys on a medical specialty string; Optometrist is a different occupation key and is not folded in.

2.9% names $200,432 as a share of $6,828,666. It does not name a share of Minnesota statewide receipts, a share of licensed workers, or a share of itemized giving by every nearby title. Those denominators are absent. $6,628,234 is the complement inside the same occupation string, other states only.

Ophthalmologist is a filer-entered label

FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses OPHTHALMOLOGIST. Eye Surgeon, Optometrist, Physician, and MD are other keys when those characters appear. LobbyVault does not recode the string into a medical-board license file, an AMA specialty census, or medical advice. Cite $200,432 for this title in Minnesota on 265 receipts from 23 donors.

The occupation hub still holds $6,628,234 outside Minnesota. Most of the $6,828,666 roll is not this state’s cell if 2.9% is a modest slice — or a large slice if the state dominates. Either way, quote the share with both dollars.

11.5 gifts per donor is arithmetic, not turnout

11.5 gifts per donor is 265 divided by 23. That ratio is not a measure of civic engagement and not a turnout figure. It is a line-to-key quotient inside one occupation-state cell. Quote it with both integers.

23 donor keys totaling $200,432 is not a ranking of Minnesota against other states. This join has one occupation and one state. Neighboring occ-state pages are other keys.

Do not mix occupation dollars with the state hub

$200,432 sits inside $6,828,666 the way a state cell sits inside an occupation row. Removing Minnesota does not make $200,432 equal $6,828,666. Removing other states does not make $6,828,666 equal $200,432. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

265 of 22,604 contribution rows (1.2%) and 23 of 1,380 donors (1.7%) travel with the dollar share. Quote all three when the join is the subject. Means $756 (per gift) and $8,714 (per donor) stay attached to Minnesota.

Amended reports and live hubs

Individual reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $200,432 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Ophthalmologist hub and the live Minnesota hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $200,432, 265, 23, $6,828,666.

OPHTHALMOLOGIST is the specialty string. Optometrist and Doctor of Optometry are other occupation keys. FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. Sibling occupation-state pages for other states or other titles are other slugs. Do not reuse $200,432 on those pages.

Donor-state MN caveats for occupation joins

Occupation-state joins inherit address-file quirks: mailing-state codes, amended reports, and itemization thresholds. MN as Minnesota is an address label. $200,432 can move after this snapshot. Live hubs control.

What stays fixed in this file is the packet arithmetic: $200,432 of $6,828,666 is 2.9%; 265 lines; 23 keys; about $756 per line; about $8,714 per donor; about 11.5 lines per key. Those identities use only facts in the packet.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Ophthalmologist, donor state Minnesota (MN), $200,432 itemized, 265 contributions, 23 donors, 2.9% 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 Minnesota 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 $200,432: treat it as payroll, treat 23 as a workforce census, treat 2.9% as a share of Minnesota 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 $756 per contribution and $8,714 per donor remain attached to 265 and 23. About 11.5 lines per donor remains 265 divided by 23.

Questions

What is the Minnesota Ophthalmologist contribution total?

$200,432 from 265 itemized contributions and 23 donor keys whose occupation grouped to OPHTHALMOLOGIST and whose state grouped to MN. 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 Minnesota?

2.9%. That is $200,432 divided by $6,828,666. The complement is $6,628,234 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 1.2% (265 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. 23 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $200,432 on 265 lines.

Do these Minnesota donations fund federal spending?

No. $200,432 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Ophthalmologist and donor state Minnesota. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $200,432. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
