Pathologist donations in the 2014 FEC cycle

2014 filtered to Pathologist

Apply the Pathologist filter to the 2014 election cycle and the remaining money is $423,556. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 564 contributions and 361 donors. The occupation overlay lists the rows; this file explains the relationship.

Pathologist is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 361 unique donors matched the stored string in 2014. Repeat gifts can raise 564 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 2014 would overstate this cell. Citing the 2014 hub as if it were Pathologist-only would overstate the year. PATHOLOGIST is a medical-specialty title. Pathology as a department word is a neighboring string if stored that way.

8.0% of the Pathologist roll

8.0% of stored Pathologist money is tagged 2014 ($423,556). 92.0% is not ($4,873,075). 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 2014 so $5,296,631 is not mistaken for a two-year number. Pathology, MD, physician, and laboratory director are omitted from both figures.

How 361 donors produced 564 gifts

Contribution count (564) and donor count (361) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $423,556 is their dollar sum. This is a mid-size cell.

If a searcher wants names, the overlay is the next stop. This JSON file reports 361 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract.

Dropping the Pathologist filter

Dropping the Pathologist filter returns the reader to the 2014 election cycle index. That index is not $423,556. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 564 contributions, 361 donors, $423,556.

No cycle-wide denominator is in the packet, so Pathologist cannot be ranked as a percent of 2014 national itemized giving. 8.0% remains a share of $5,296,631 only.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

This join refuses several claims: that $423,556 bought federal contracts; that 8.0% measures political intensity; that 361 donors are a workforce; that pathology, MD, physician, and laboratory director belong in this cell. Each refused claim would require a table that is not in the packet.

Using the Pathologist and 2014 hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-cycle questions for PATHOLOGIST. The 2014 hub answers every-occupation questions for that window. This tie answers the both-filters question: $423,556, 564 receipts, 361 donors, 8.0% of $5,296,631.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Pathologist donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join in one line for researchers: occupation PATHOLOGIST ∩ cycle 2014 = $423,556 itemized individual contributions, 564 receipts, 361 donors, 8.0% of $5,296,631. Neighbors remain pathology, MD, physician, and laboratory director. Unpublished split: anatomic versus clinical versus forensic pathology. Not recoded into an ABP diplomate roster, a hospital pathology-department census, or a CMS specialty file. Source remains FEC.gov. PATHOLOGIST is a medical-specialty title. Pathology as a department word is a neighboring string if stored that way.

Itemized is the receipt class. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee-to-committee transfers sit outside $423,556. 361 unique donors are contributor keys, not a named roster. 564 is a line count. Mean gift $751 and mean per donor $1,173 stay arithmetic on packet integers.

All occupations is the directory for pathology, MD, physician, and laboratory director. All FEC ties is the directory for other occupation-cycle cells. Pathologist donations holds $5,296,631 without the 2014 filter. The 2014 election cycle holds every occupation for that window. Only this URL holds both filters at $423,556.
