Pathologist occupation money in the 2012 FEC cycle

2012 inside the Pathologist occupation book

Apply the Pathologist filter to the 2012 election cycle and the remaining money is $685,266. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 988 contributions and 675 donors. The overlay at the occupation path lists the relationship; the cycle hub lists the year without this filter.

Pathologist is a medical-specialty occupation string, not a lab-staff census. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 675 unique donors matched the stored string in 2012. Repeat gifts can raise 988 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The all-cycle Pathologist total of $5,296,631 still includes other windows. Citing $5,296,631 as if it were 2012 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2012 hub as if it were Pathologist-only would overstate the year.

The $5,296,631 occupation stack

The occupation hub holds $5,296,631. This cycle accounts for $685,266 (12.9%). The leftover $4,611,365 is other even-year windows. That leftover is not missing data; it is a different filter.

Citing $5,296,631 as if 2012 received all of it would overstate this join by $4,611,365. Pathologist remains a medical-specialty occupation string, not a lab-staff census. The 12.9% ratio is $685,266 divided by $5,296,631. Other even-year joins for PATHOLOGIST are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $4,611,365. Citing 2012 as if it were the Pathologist lifetime total would overstate this cell by $4,611,365.

Itemized count versus unique donors

Contribution count (988) and donor count (675) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $685,266 is their dollar sum.

If a searcher wants names, the hubs are the next stop, not invented biographies. This JSON file reports 675 donors without listing them. A mean of $694 per itemized line and $1,015 per donor can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median. 988 contributions remaining larger than 675 donors is the expected pattern when identities give more than once.

12.9% in 2012, 87.1% elsewhere

12.9% of stored Pathologist money is tagged 2012 ($685,266). 87.1% is not ($4,611,365). Both percentages use $5,296,631 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the year-by-year index. This tie isolates 2012 so $5,296,631 is not mistaken for a two-year number. FEC cycle 2012 tags a two-year window. Odd-year receipts inside that window are in $685,266 if they were itemized against PATHOLOGIST. This file does not publish a year-by-year split because the facts do not.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from the packet: recipient names, party split, unitemized totals, PAC disbursements, and any USAspending figure. Present: $685,266, 988 contributions, 675 donors, $5,296,631 lifetime, cycle 2012, string PATHOLOGIST.

Self-reported fields create split spellings. PHYSICIAN, LABORATORY DIRECTOR, and MEDICAL DOCTOR remain other keys. $685,266 does not absorb them. Pathologist as a medical-specialty occupation string, not a lab-staff census can appear in licensing or contracting databases under similar names. Those tables are not this $685,266. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards.

What to carry forward from this packet

Carry forward $685,266, 988, 675, 12.9%, $5,296,631, and the string PATHOLOGIST. Leave behind invented recipients, party shares, and contract dollars. The source note is FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

$694 per contribution and $1,015 per donor are derived means. Label them as such. A medical-specialty occupation string, not a lab-staff census remains the right description of the grouping. Quote both keys: Pathologist and 2012. Quote the dollars: $685,266. Quote the volume: 988 contributions, 675 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out unless a later overlay supplies them. Restating the join without new numbers: Pathologist in 2012 is $685,266 from 988 itemized individual contributions and 675 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $5,296,631 across cycles, so 2012 is about 12.9% and other windows hold $4,611,365 (87.1%). The grouping is a medical-specialty occupation string, not a lab-staff census, not a pathologists PAC, a hospital payroll, or PHYSICIAN stored as another key. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $694; mean per donor about $1,015; about 1.5 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $685,266.

What share of Pathologist FEC money fell in 2012?

About 12.9%. $685,266 divided by $5,296,631 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 87.1% ($4,611,365) on the occupation hub. See the Pathologist occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.
