Orthodontist occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Orthodontist as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation ORTHODONTIST and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $582,176, 1,316 contributions, and 763 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Dentist, orthodontics, DDS, and dental specialist are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an ABO roster, a state dental-board extract, or clinical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Orthodontist donations at /occupations/orthodontist/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $582,176 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Orthodontist in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $582,176. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice is unpublished for Orthodontist in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. More than seven hundred donor keys and over thirteen hundred receipts is a broader specialty-dentistry cell than many physician strings in this slice.

ORTHODONTIST, not generic dentist

$5.5 million ($5,538,928) belongs to the exact string ORTHODONTIST across harvested cycles. It is not an ABO roster, a state dental-board extract, or clinical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — dentist, orthodontics, DDS, and dental specialist — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 10.5% of that title bucket ($582,176 of $5,538,928). Share of ORTHODONTIST is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $4,956,752, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $582,176. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,538,928. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Orthodontist donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $582,176.

763 orthodontist donors and 1,316 receipts in 2008

763 donors and 1,316 receipts — about 1.7 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $442; mean per donor about $763. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. More than seven hundred donor keys and over thirteen hundred receipts is a broader specialty-dentistry cell than many physician strings in this slice. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,316 is a line count, not 763 one-time gifts. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by ORTHODONTIST. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $582,176. This page is not a ranking of dental specialties by civic engagement. Quote ORTHODONTIST and 2008 together.

Dental specialty versus association PACs

Cite $582,176 as Orthodontist in 2008. Cite $5,538,928 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add dental-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $582,176 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 10.5%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode ORTHODONTIST 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 presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Orthodontist money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation ORTHODONTIST, election cycle 2008, $582,176 in itemized individual contributions, 1,316 receipts, and 763 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $442 per line and $763 per donor in the cell. If the live Orthodontist donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,316 as unique workers in the trade named by ORTHODONTIST.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Orthodontist donations rolls every cycle into one ORTHODONTIST running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Orthodontist × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,316 receipts and $582,176. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Dentist as a sibling

The occupation hub still holds $4,956,752 outside 2008. Most of the $5,538,928 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. This page is not a ranking of dental specialties by civic engagement. Quote ORTHODONTIST and 2008 together. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 1.7. That ratio is 1,316 divided by 763, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
