Orthodontist donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

Orthodontist is one axis; 2014 is the other

An occupation-cycle page is not a restatement of Orthodontist and not a restatement of 2014. It is the cell where they meet: $440,236, 1,032 contributions, 648 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle are the source note.

On the occupation side, Orthodontist is the exact string ORTHODONTIST. On the cycle side, 2014 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $440,236. Solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice is unpublished.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $5,538,928 is the lifetime Orthodontist bucket. The 2014 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $440,236. ORTHODONTIST in 2014 shows a high receipt count relative to dollars. Dentist without the specialty word is a neighboring key.

2014 is not the whole Orthodontist story

Orthodontist across all cycles is $5.5 million ($5,538,928). Orthodontist in 2014 is $440,236 — 7.9%. The gap is $5,098,692. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2014 overlay still sees $440,236 for this string, not $5,538,928. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the year filter to recover $440,236.

What 648 unique donors are not

648 unique donors are not a census of Orthodontist. They are the identities attached to 1,032 itemized rows that summed to $440,236. Mean gift $427; mean per donor $679; about 1.6 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That does not add extra occupations into $440,236; it can inflate donor counts relative to a strict employee roster that this table does not have.

How FEC cycle 2014 works on this join

Cycle 2014 is the second key in the join. Combined with ORTHODONTIST, it produces $440,236. Combined with nothing, it is the year hub. Combined with a different string, it is a different tie.

Itemized receipts in either year of the window are in scope. Unitemized receipts are not. Independent expenditures are not. Those exclusions apply regardless of Orthodontist. ORTHODONTIST in 2014 shows a high receipt count relative to dollars. Dentist without the specialty word is a neighboring key.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from this packet: party split, employer list, recipient committees, median gift, and solo versus group versus academic orthodontic practice. Those omissions are why the page is a join brief rather than a full filing dump.

What remains is enough for a clean citation: Orthodontist × 2014 = $440,236 on 1,032 receipts from 648 donors, 7.9% of $5,538,928. Source: FEC.gov. ORTHODONTIST in 2014 shows a high receipt count relative to dollars. Dentist without the specialty word is a neighboring key.

Two filters, one URL

Two filters produced this URL: occupation ORTHODONTIST and cycle 2014. The product is $440,236. One filter is not enough. That is why Orthodontist donations and the 2014 election cycle remain parent links rather than substitutes.

All FEC ties is the index if the next question is a different occupation-year pair. All occupations is the index if the next question is a neighboring title such as dentist, DDS, orthodontics, and dental specialist.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation ORTHODONTIST ∩ cycle 2014 = $440,236 itemized individual contributions, 1,032 receipts, 648 donors, 7.9% 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 2014 shows a high receipt count relative to dollars. Dentist without the specialty word is a neighboring key.

Itemized is the receipt class. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee-to-committee transfers sit outside $440,236. 648 unique donors are contributor keys, not a named roster. 1,032 is a line count. Mean gift $427 and mean per donor $679 stay arithmetic on packet integers.
