Orthopaedic Surgeon political contributions from Pennsylvania

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON plus Pennsylvania, beside SURGEON

Occupation ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON and donor state PA produce $968,431, 1,478 contributions, and 352 donors. The occupation hub is $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 6.1% ($968,431 of $15,862,739). Its contribution share is about 4.9% (1,478 of 29,969). Its donor share is about 5.2% (352 of 6,711).

The three shares sit in a relatively tight band around 5–6%. Three hundred fifty-two unique donors is a thick unique-person count next to seven-donor analyst cells. Dollar share does not race far ahead of headcount.

SURGEON donors in Pennsylvania is a separate join ($1,076,666, 227 donors). ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON with the American spelling, if stored as another slug, is not inside $15,862,739 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping.

A specialty title with a large national donor list

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not verify board certification or hospital privileges. Six thousand seven hundred eleven national donors used the British-spelling stamp common in the specialty. People who typed SURGEON only sit in the SURGEON occupation total.

Twenty-nine thousand nine hundred sixty-nine contributions from 6,711 donors nationwide is about 4 itemized gifts per donor. Pennsylvania’s 1,478 contributions from 352 donors is about 4 gifts per donor as well. Receipt frequency matches. This cell is not a repeat-giving outlier.

Pennsylvania cell averages

Dividing $968,431 by 1,478 contributions yields about $655 per gift. Dividing by 352 donors yields about $2,751 per donor. Nationally, $15,862,739 divided by 29,969 contributions is about $529 per gift. Pennsylvania’s mean is modestly higher than the national occupation mean.

Donor state PA is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Pennsylvania committees. Anesthesiologist donors in North Carolina and Pharmacist donors in Illinois are other clinical occupation-state pages; they are not nested here.

Three hundred fifty-two Pennsylvania donors produced 1,478 contributions, about 4 itemized gifts per person, matching the national 4. Frequency is not distinctive. Mean gift (about $655 versus about $529) is a modest premium. The 6.1% dollar share tracking the 5.2% donor share is a scaled slice of a large unique-person occupation (6,711 national donors).

Do not merge British and one-word surgeon strings

Adding $968,431 to Pennsylvania’s SURGEON cell would mix occupation keys. A filer who typed ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is in this join. A filer who typed SURGEON is in the other. Pennsylvania’s 6.1% share is a table split, not a measure of surgical volume and not causation.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page does not offer clinical guidance.

SURGEON’s Pennsylvania join has fewer unique donors (227) and a similar dollar total ($1,076,666). Specialty spelling, not a parent-child relationship, separates the cells. ORTHOPEDIC without the extra a, if stored separately, is another key not claimed as merged here.

Occupation hub, state hub, SURGEON counterpart

Orthopaedic Surgeon donations carries the $15,862,739 national occupation total. Pennsylvania campaign finance carries all PA-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON and SURGEON as separate Pennsylvania joins so their donor counts (352 and 227) are not added together.

The occupation hub still holds $14,894,308 outside Pennsylvania ($15,862,739 minus $968,431). Use Orthopaedic Surgeon donations for that remainder. Do not add SURGEON to reconstruct a Pennsylvania surgical census.

A thick unique-person specialty cell

Three hundred fifty-two Pennsylvania donors are 5.2% of 6,711 national Orthopaedic Surgeon-coded donors. That unique-person share is close to the 6.1% dollar share. This join is the opposite of Kansas NURSE: many people, modest mean-gift premium, about four itemized gifts per donor on both sides of the occupation.

SURGEON’s Pennsylvania file stays separate. $968,431 is the specialty spelling and PA. It is not a combined surgical workforce and not a licensing roster.

Questions

How much have Orthopaedic Surgeon donors in Pennsylvania given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Orthopaedic Surgeon and state Pennsylvania total $968,431, from 1,478 contributions and 352 donors. Nationwide, Orthopaedic Surgeon-coded receipts are $15,862,739 from 29,969 contributions and 6,711 donors. Pennsylvania is about 6.1% of those dollars.

Does this include people who typed Surgeon or Orthopedic Surgeon?

This join reports ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON only. SURGEON is a separate Pennsylvania tie ($1,076,666, 227 donors). The American spelling ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON can exist as another key. FEC aggregates do not verify licenses.

Why are there so many unique donors in this cell?

352 Pennsylvania donors are about 5.2% of 6,711 national Orthopaedic Surgeon-coded donors, close to the 6.1% dollar share. About 4 itemized gifts per donor in both the cell and the national occupation describe a broad unique-person list rather than a handful of large givers.

Is this money given to Pennsylvania candidates?

Not necessarily. PA is the donor state on the contribution. The $968,431 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
