Physicist occupation money in the 2010 FEC cycle

Physicist as occupation, 2010 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PHYSICIST and election cycle 2010. Matching rows sum to $319,972, 539 contributions, and 233 donors. PHYSICIST in 2010 is a scientific-title string. FEC.gov does not verify degrees, lab affiliation, or that the filer still researched that cycle. The occupation hub is $9,957,534 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2010 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2010’s dollar share is 3.2% ($319,972 of $9,957,534). The remainder, $9,637,562, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub (96.8%). Hundreds of donor keys and more than five hundred lines is a mid-scale scientific-title cell in a midterm window. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $319,972.

The PHYSICIST string across every cycle on file

$9,957,534 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2010. Sibling strings (SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and ENGINEER) stay on other pages. Adding those keys to $9,957,534 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts. The occupation is not an APS membership roll, a national-lab payroll, or a physics PAC.

Open Physicist donations for the $9,957,534 roll. Open the 2010 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. Scientist and engineer remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into PHYSICIST.

233 donors and a four-figure mean gift

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Physicist. $319,972 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

539 itemized lines from 233 unique donors is about 2.3 receipts per donor. Mean per line about $594; mean per donor about $1,373. About 2.3 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $319,972. Hundreds of donor keys and more than five hundred lines is a mid-scale scientific-title cell in a midterm window.

What Physicist dollars in 2010 are not

Matching Physicist with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Physicist donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an APS membership roll, a national-lab payroll, or a physics PAC.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Academic, national-lab, and industry physicists can share one typed word. This extract does not split those employers. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $319,972 funded USAspending obligations.

How to cite Physicist × 2010

A complete claim names Physicist and 2010, then $319,972, 539 contributions, 233 donors, and 3.2% of $9,957,534, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 233 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Physicist and 2010—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $594 and mean per donor $1,373 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2010 hub, and Scientist as a sibling

Physicist donations holds the $9,957,534 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Physicist. All occupations places PHYSICIST beside other titles without merging sibling strings (SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and ENGINEER). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $319,972 is not added to a different year. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

The occupation hub still holds $9,637,562 (96.8%) outside 2010. Most of the $9,957,534 roll is not this cycle’s cell. Scientist and engineer remain other keys. This page does not recode those titles into PHYSICIST. Gifts per donor in 2010 average about 2.3. That ratio is 539 divided by 233, not a measure of turnout. Quote both keys: Physicist and 2010. Quote the dollars: $319,972. Quote the volume: 539 contributions, 233 donors. Quote the source: FEC.gov.

Questions

How much did Physicist-labeled donors give in 2010?

The Physicist grouping’s 2010 cell is $319,972 in itemized individual contributions, from 539 contributions and 233 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $9,957,534 all-cycle occupation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these all national-laboratory physicists?

Not necessarily. PHYSICIST is the occupation string as typed. FEC aggregates do not encode employer, subfield, or clearance. The 2010 cycle filter on Physicist is $319,972, 539 contributions, and 233 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $9,957,534.

What share of Physicist FEC money fell in 2010?

About 3.2%. $319,972 divided by $9,957,534 is the 2010 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 96.8% ($9,637,562) on the occupation hub. See the Physicist occupation hub for other cycles and the 2010 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Physicist 2010 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. $319,972 is itemized receipts tagged PHYSICIST in 2010, not an obligation total. Cite the 2010 intersection as $319,972 and 539 contributions from 233 donors, not the $9,957,534 occupation total.
