Orthopaedic Surgeon contributions received by PAC of AAOS

Orthopaedic Surgeon as occupation, AAOS PAC as recipient

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is the occupation string, including the British spelling as stored. The recipient is C00343137, PAC OF AAOS. Matching rows sum to $13,622,893 across 25,704 contributions. The occupation hub is $15,862,739 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Orthopaedic Surgeon. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

An 85.9% share on 25,704 lines is a specialty-PAC concentration. Orthopaedic and Orthopedic would be different keys if stored that way. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00343137. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON; the receipts are attributed to C00343137 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

Most of the Orthopaedic Surgeon roll in one PAC

POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS--PAC OF AAOS keeps C00343137 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

25,704 contributions and a mid-hundreds mean

POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS--PAC OF AAOS received $13,622,893 from Orthopaedic Surgeon-coded receipts across 25,704 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $530 per contribution. 25,704 lines are not 25,704 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $13,622,893 total.

What 85.9% of orthopaedic-surgeon dollars is not

A 85.9% share of Orthopaedic Surgeon-coded dollars into C00343137 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean PAC of AAOS is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $13,622,893 as 85.9% of $15,862,739 into C00343137, with 25,704 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 25,704 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job.
