Orthodontist occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

Orthodontist as occupation, 2012 as cycle

Two keys define this page. One is the occupation string ORTHODONTIST. The other is the 2012 federal election cycle. The match is $696,219, built from 1,444 contributions and 839 unique donors. Drop either key and the number changes.

Average contribution is about $482; average per donor is about $830. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. About 1.7 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio, not a headcount of unique humans behind every spelling variant.

DENTIST, ORAL SURGEON, and PERIODONTIST are other occupation pages if stored separately. Combining them without naming each source total mixes keys. This page is the exact string ORTHODONTIST in 2012.

ORTHODONTIST is a self-reported title

ORTHODONTIST on an FEC line is not a discipline code or a license number. A dental-specialty occupation string, not a board-certification census. Students, hobbyists, and household-occupation users can sit among the donor IDs.

$5,538,928 is every cycle combined for ORTHODONTIST. $696,219 in 2012 is about 12.6% of that stack. Other windows hold about 87.4% ($4,842,709). DENTIST, ORAL SURGEON, and PERIODONTIST are other occupation pages if stored separately. The 12.6% ratio is $696,219 divided by $5,538,928. Other even-year joins for ORTHODONTIST are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,842,709. Citing 2012 as if it were the Orthodontist lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,842,709.

1,444 contributions from 839 donors

Dividing $696,219 by 1,444 contributions yields about $482 per itemized gift. Dividing by 839 donors yields about $830 per donor. Contributions per donor average about 1.7. Those means describe the arithmetic on the packet. They are not medians and not a party split.

839 unique donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of employees, licensees, or members. Retirees and household members who reuse a title can appear. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count faster than the donor count. A mean of $482 per itemized line and $830 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 1,444 contributions remaining larger than 839 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

12.6% of the Orthodontist roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $5,538,928. The 2012 slice of $696,219 is about 12.6% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 87.4% ($4,842,709). Treating 2012 as the entire Orthodontist FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $5,538,928 as the denominator for the 12.6% share. It is not earnings and not proof of a multi-year political program. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $5,538,928. Neighboring titles DENTIST, ORAL SURGEON, and PERIODONTIST are not added into either figure. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $696,219 if they were itemized against ORTHODONTIST. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

2012 as the cycle dimension

The 2012 election cycle hub includes every stored occupation for that window. Orthodontist is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a cycle-wide denominator, so no national share is stated. Open the 2012 election cycle to drop the occupation filter and Orthodontist to drop the year.

Gifts from both years of the two-year FEC window sit in the $696,219 cell because the cycle is a two-year tag, not a single Tuesday. 2012 is a presidential-year window in the FEC calendar. This packet does not split those years. Orthodontist as a dental-specialty occupation string, not a board-certification census can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $696,219. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

Citing Orthodontist and 2012 together

Start with $696,219, then Orthodontist and 2012, then the occupation hub or the 2012 election cycle if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: ORTHODONTIST, 2012, $696,219, 1,444 contributions, 839 donors, 12.6% of $5,538,928, source FEC.gov.

The 12.6% share, the 839-donor count, and the $482 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a sibling title and they stop being facts from this packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Quote both keys: Orthodontist and 2012. Quote the dollars: $696,219. Quote the volume: 1,444 contributions, 839 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them.
