Orthopaedic Surgeon political contributions from Iowa

Iowa Orthopaedic Surgeon as a surgical occupation cell

Occupation ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON and donor state IA produce $412,987, 737 contributions, and 131 donors. The occupation hub is $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors. Iowa’s dollar share is about 2.6%; contribution share about 2.5% (737 of 29,969); donor share about 2.0% (131 of 6,711). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Orthopaedic Surgeon hub and not a restatement of all Iowa occupations.

ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, SURGEON, and PHYSICIAN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON with those strings into a single Iowa professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

131 Iowa donors produced 737 contributions, about 5.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 4.5 rows per donor nationally (29,969 contributions from 6,711 donors). Donor share in Iowa tracks the dollar share closely in this cell: 2.5% of national ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON contributions against a 2.6% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Iowa cell is about $560, against about $529 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

The British-spelling key on Iowa itemized lines

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $15,862,739 national total is ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON only. 6,711 donors produced 29,969 contributions in that occupation bucket. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is the British-spelling surgical string as typed, not a board-certification roster. Nearby labels ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, SURGEON, and PHYSICIAN remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 29,969 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Iowa (IA). 29,969 national contributions make ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Iowa overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Iowa donor state on orthopaedic-coded lines

131 Iowa donors produced 737 contributions totaling $412,987. Donor state IA is the address on the record, not proof of a Iowa license, and not a limit to Iowa candidates. IA is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $412,987. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from IA-coded donors.

The Iowa campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IA. This join is only ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. The Orthopaedic Surgeon occupation hub without Iowa still holds about 97.4% of the $15,862,739 (remainder $15,449,752). Iowa’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IA. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Privilege lists are not in the join

A 2.6% dollar share in Iowa does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 131 unique donors as an ABOS diplomate list. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is not interchangeable with ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, SURGEON, and PHYSICIAN.

Quote $412,987, 737 contributions, and 131 donors for Orthopaedic Surgeon in Iowa, against $15,862,739 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Orthopaedic Surgeon and Iowa—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Iowa Orthopaedic Surgeon dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Orthopaedic Surgeon and Iowa (IA), then $412,987, 737 contributions, 131 donors, and 2.6% of $15,862,739, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Iowa: $15,449,752. Mean gift $560 is $412,987 divided by 737 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Iowa dollars on this page from the national ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON in every other state combined. That remainder ($15,449,752) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 131 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Orthopaedic occupation pages and Iowa finance

Orthopaedic Surgeon donations holds the $15,862,739 national occupation total. Iowa campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Orthopaedic surgery strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Does Iowa’s total include ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON with the American spelling?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON and state is IA. 131 donors are not an ABOS diplomate list. ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, SURGEON, and PHYSICIAN, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Orthopaedic Surgeon. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

About 2.6% of the $15,862,739 occupation total is in this Iowa join ($412,987). Iowa also accounts for about 2.5% of contributions (737 of 29,969) and about 2.0% of donors (131 of 6,711). Remainder outside Iowa: $15,449,752. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Is this an Iowa medical-board roster?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Iowa. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $412,987 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Iowa campaign finance for every occupation coded to IA; open Orthopaedic Surgeon donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
