Pathologist individual contributions, 2008 cycle

Two dimensions, one cell: Pathologist and 2008

Pathologist filers in 2008 reported $607,727. The same occupation string across harvested cycles is $5,296,631. Subtract and other cycles hold $4,688,904. Divide and 2008 is 11.5% of the occupation. Count and the files are 1024 contributions and 584 donors. That is the entire numeric claim set.

The page exists because two tables meet. The occupation table answers how large PATHOLOGIST is across years. The cycle table answers how 2008 looks across occupations. This tie answers only how Pathologist looked inside 2008. Mean about $593 per gift uses $607,727 and 1024 only.

Do not add $607,727 to USAspending obligations. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different datasets. Physician, MD, Medical Examiner, and Anatomic Pathologist remain other occupation keys. Source: FEC.gov.

Occupation hub versus this 2008 cell

Pathologist’s all-cycle total of $5,296,631 is the occupation slice. The 2008 cell is $607,727. 11.5% names the cell as a share of the occupation. $4,688,904 names the complement inside the same string. PATHOLOGIST is the occupation of the donor as typed, not a claim about a professional association.

Use the occupation hub when the year does not matter. Use this tie when both Pathologist and 2008 matter. PATHOLOGIST is the specialty string. Physician and MD are sibling occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Do not fold sibling titles into PATHOLOGIST. Each occupation string is its own key.

How 1024 lines and 584 keys sit together

What the cycle side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged occupation PATHOLOGIST and cycle 2008, summing to $607,727 across 1024 contributions and 584 donors. What it excludes: other cycles for Pathologist, other occupations for 2008, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts.

Mean about $593 should be quoted with both inputs. PATHOLOGIST is the specialty string. Physician and MD are sibling occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Professional-association PACs file as committees; mixing PAC spending with $607,727 would blend FEC tables.

11.5% is an occupation-year share, not a ranking

Share language that is allowed: Pathologist occupation receipts were 11.5% of this string’s harvested total in the 2008 cycle ($607,727 of $5,296,631). Share language that is not allowed: Pathologist accounted for 11.5% of federal spending, 11.5% of all 2008 donors, or 11.5% of votes. Those claims need other tables.

The remainder $4,688,904 is not a list of rival occupations. It is a leftover sum inside the same occupation string, other cycles. This page does not itemize it by year.

Keep the two dollar columns labeled

Label every dollar figure when you reuse it. $607,727 = Pathologist itemized individual receipts in 2008. $5,296,631 = Pathologist occupation receipts across harvested cycles. $4,688,904 = other cycles for the same string. If a sentence uses one of those figures without the label, rewrite the sentence.

The four internal links exist so readers can leave the join for the matching hub. 2008 election cycle holds the year mix. Pathologist donations holds the occupation mix. All occupations lists other titles. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Source: FEC.gov.

Keeping Pathologist and 2008 on the same line

Every reuse of $607,727 should still say Pathologist and 2008. Every reuse of $5,296,631 should still say the occupation string across cycles. Every reuse of 584 should still say donor keys, not licensed workers. That discipline is the point of a tie page.

Physician, MD, Medical Examiner, and Anatomic Pathologist remain other keys. Independent expenditures remain another table. USAspending remains another statute. FEC.gov remains the source. Occupation labels remain filer-entered.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Pathologist, cycle 2008, $607,727 itemized, 1024 contributions, 584 donors, 11.5% of $5,296,631. PATHOLOGIST is the specialty string. Physician and MD are sibling occupation keys. FEC.gov does not confirm board certification. Physician, MD, Medical Examiner, and Anatomic Pathologist stay on other occupation pages. The 2008 election cycle hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $607,727: treat it as payroll, treat 584 as a workforce census, treat 11.5% as a share of 2008 national receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $593 per contribution and $1,041 per donor remain attached to 1024 and 584. About 1.8 lines per donor remains 1024 divided by 584.

Questions

How many Pathologist donors are in the 2008 cell?

584 donor keys sum to $607,727 on 1024 contributions. That count is donor keys, not unique licensed workers. The arithmetic mean is about $1,041 per donor and $593 per contribution. Independent expenditures are not included. Named donors are not in these facts and are not invented here.

Is $5,296,631 the amount Pathologist filers gave in 2008?

No. $5,296,631 is the occupation total across harvested cycles. Pathologist’s 2008 cell is $607,727. Other cycles hold $4,688,904. Use the occupation hub for the all-cycle figure and this tie page for the 2008 slice only.

Why does this page exist if occupation and cycle hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Pathologist across years ($5,296,631). The cycle hub answers 2008 across occupations. This tie answers only Pathologist inside 2008: $607,727, 1024 gifts, 584 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $607,727?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not PATHOLOGIST. Sibling titles such as Physician, MD, Medical Examiner, and Anatomic Pathologist are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-cycle aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Cycle 2008 is a presidential FEC window.
