Orthodontist donations in the 2010 FEC cycle

Two keys: ORTHODONTIST and 2010

The packet’s keys are literal: occupation string ORTHODONTIST, cycle 2010. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $413,202, from 1,143 contributions and 704 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as a self-reported occupation. Free-text fields let filers write a longer title, a nearby spelling, or an employer instead. Those rows are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets. Neighbors include dentist, DDS, orthodontics, and dental specialist.

$413,202 is smaller than $5,538,928 because other cycles exist, and it is not a share of national 2010 giving because this packet has no cycle-wide denominator. The join is the point. ORTHODONTIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell with a high line count. Repeat gifts inside the two-year window raise receipts faster than unique donors.

Orthodontist as typed, not a census

After this 2010 cell of $413,202, $5,125,726 of the Orthodontist grouping remains in other even-year windows. That remainder is 92.5% of $5,538,928. The 2010 page is not empty of other occupations; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No national 2010 total is supplied, so no share of the election is claimed. 7.5% is Orthodontist-internal. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice is unpublished.

Means on $413,202

704 donors and 1,143 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 1.6 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$587 per donor and $362 per line are derived from $413,202. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice remains unpublished.

2010 is not Election Day

An election-night search is the wrong grain for $413,202. The FEC cycle 2010 is a two-year bucket. Dates belong on the overlay, not in invented subtotals.

The cycle hub and this tie differ by one filter. The hub is all strings in 2010. The tie is Orthodontist in 2010. Only the tie is $413,202. ORTHODONTIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell with a high line count. Repeat gifts inside the two-year window raise receipts faster than unique donors.

Form text is not a payroll file

Do not treat 1,143 receipts as unique workers in the trade named ORTHODONTIST. Do not treat 704 donors as a labor-force estimate. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice is unpublished. Dental-association and specialty PAC filings file as committees and are omitted.

ORTHODONTIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell with a high line count. Repeat gifts inside the two-year window raise receipts faster than unique donors. Neighbors — dentist, DDS, orthodontics, and dental specialist — stay on their own occupation-cycle URLs. Mixing them into $413,202 would invent a sector total this packet does not contain.

Keeping $413,202 attached to both keys

Keep both nouns in every citation: Orthodontist and 2010. Dropping the year turns $413,202 into $5,538,928. Dropping the occupation turns this cell into the year hub, which this packet does not quantify.

Internal paths: /occupations/orthodontist/ for the occupation running total, /election-cycles/2010/ for the year without this title, /occupations/ for neighboring strings, /ties/ for other joins. ORTHODONTIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell with a high line count. Repeat gifts inside the two-year window raise receipts faster than unique donors.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation ORTHODONTIST ∩ cycle 2010 = $413,202 itemized individual contributions, 1,143 receipts, 704 donors, 7.5% of $5,538,928. Neighbors remain dentist, DDS, orthodontics, and dental specialist. Unpublished split: solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice. Not recoded into an AAO membership roll, a dental-board specialty roster, or a practice census. Source remains FEC.gov. ORTHODONTIST in 2010 is an earlier midterm cell with a high line count. Repeat gifts inside the two-year window raise receipts faster than unique donors.
