Physical Therapist money in the 2008 FEC cycle

Physical Therapist as occupation, cycle as the other filter

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation PHYSICAL THERAPIST and the 2008 election cycle. The intersection is $384,413 ($384,413), 595 contributions, and 298 donors. 7.4% of Physical Therapist occupation dollars ($5,202,127) fall in 2008. 2008 is an earlier presidential-year PT cell: 595 receipts from 298 donors, a different even-year window from the 2012 Physical Therapist join.

Physical Therapist is a two-word clinical title as typed, not a license recode. Nearby strings — THERAPIST, PHYSIOTHERAPIST, PT, and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $384,413 or $5,202,127. Therapist without Physical is a different key; Occupational Therapist sits elsewhere. The FEC file does not verify a PT license, a DPT degree, or a clinic appointment.

The PHYSICAL THERAPIST string across cycles

On the occupation side, $5,202,127 ($5.2 million) is the Physical Therapist total across cycles. The 2008 cell is 7.4% of that roll; the remaining $4,817,714 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Physical Therapist is not a CMS therapy-volume ranking and not a sports-medicine census. Physical Therapist is not a state PT-board extract, an APTA membership roll, or a hospital rehab roster.

Open Physical Therapist donations for the $5,202,127 roll. Open the 2008 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell

Inside the 2008 cell, 595 itemized contributions map to 298 donors. That is about 2.0 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $646; dollars per donor average about $1,290. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.

2008 is a presidential-year FEC clock. Primaries, the general election, and leftover receipts from adjacent months can share the same even-year label. This packet does not split dollars by those stages or by party. The 2008 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Physical Therapist row. 298 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2008, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $384,413.

Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year

Keep $384,413 attached to 2008 and $5,202,127 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2008 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($4,817,714) that this packet does not itemize by year.

Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $384,413 with both nouns: Physical Therapist and 2008.

What a Physical Therapist cycle join cannot claim

Matching Physical Therapist with 2008 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Physical Therapist donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not a state PT-board extract, an APTA membership roll, or a hospital rehab roster.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $384,413. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.

Linked PT hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles

Physical Therapist donations holds the $5,202,127 occupation total. The 2008 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Physical Therapist. All occupations places PHYSICAL THERAPIST beside other titles without merging sibling strings (THERAPIST, PHYSIOTHERAPIST, PT, and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $384,413 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Physical Therapist dollars ($5,202,127). Use the 2008 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $384,413, 595 contributions, 298 donors, 7.4% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $384,413; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $5,202,127. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

How much did Physical Therapist-labeled donors give in 2008?

The Physical Therapist grouping’s 2008 cell is $384,413 in itemized individual contributions, from 595 contributions and 298 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,202,127 all-cycle occupation total.

Are these licensed physical therapists?

Occupation is PHYSICAL THERAPIST. The FEC file does not check a state board license. Therapist, Physiotherapist, and Occupational Therapist are other keys. This page does not recode those strings into PHYSICAL THERAPIST or confirm a DPT or a clinic setting.

What share of Physical Therapist FEC money fell in 2008?

About 7.4%. $384,413 divided by $5,202,127 is the 2008 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $4,817,714 on the occupation hub. See the Physical Therapist occupation hub for other cycles and the 2008 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Physical Therapist 2008 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $384,413 is itemized receipts tagged PHYSICAL THERAPIST in 2008, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
