Physicist political contributions from Maryland

Physicist and Maryland as a research-title intersection

Occupation PHYSICIST and donor state MD produce $416,861, 3,591 contributions, and 88 donors. The occupation hub is $9,957,534, 35,002 contributions, and 996 donors. The three shares are 4.2% of dollars, 10.3% of contributions, and 8.8% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $416,861 drops the row and donor keys. Maryland Physicist contribution rows sit well above the dollar share on a research-title occupation.

Physicist is a scientific title as typed, not a federal-lab roster. Nearby strings — RESEARCH SCIENTIST, SCIENTIST, ASTROPHYSICIST, and ENGINEER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $416,861 or $9,957,534. A Maryland address is not proof of a Greenbelt or Gaithersburg workplace. RESEARCH SCIENTIST is another hub.

Eighty-eight Maryland donors produced 3,591 contributions, about 40.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 35.1 rows per donor nationally (35,002 contributions from 996 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Maryland cell are about $4,737, versus about $9,998 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

PHYSICIST as a filer-typed science word

PHYSICIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Ph.D., a federal lab appointment, or a Maryland workplace. The national grouping is 996 donors, 35,002 contributions, and $9,957,534.

35,002 contributions from 996 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Maryland’s 3,591 contributions from 88 donors is the MD-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland.

Eighty-eight Maryland donors on the state filter

Eighty-eight Maryland donors produced 3,591 contributions totaling $416,861. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland professional license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only PHYSICIST. Subtract $416,861 from $9,957,534 and $9,540,673 remains coded Physicist in every other state combined (31,411 contributions, 908 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

High row volume against a modest dollar share

This page does not measure physicist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Physicist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a NIST or NASA Goddard headcount, not an APS membership roll, and not a lab-privilege census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MD is not recipient geography.

Science titles that remain separate strings

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $416,861, 3,591 contributions, and 88 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the Physicist national total, drops a key.

Physicist donations holds the $9,957,534 national occupation total. Maryland campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. RESEARCH SCIENTIST, SCIENTIST, ASTROPHYSICIST, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. A Maryland address is not proof of a Greenbelt or Gaithersburg workplace. RESEARCH SCIENTIST is another hub.

Questions

How much have Physicist donors in Maryland given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Physicist and state Maryland total $416,861, from 3,591 contributions and 88 donors. Nationwide, Physicist-coded receipts are $9,957,534 from 35,002 contributions and 996 donors. Maryland is 4.2% of those dollars.

Are these physicists at Maryland federal labs?

Occupation is PHYSICIST and state is MD. The FEC file does not confirm a NIST, NASA, or university appointment. Research Scientist, Scientist, and Astrophysicist are other occupation keys. Employer is a different FEC field and is not on this join.

What share of Physicist FEC money is from Maryland?

4.2% of the $9,957,534 occupation total is in this Maryland join ($416,861). Maryland also accounts for 10.3% of contributions (3,591 of 35,002) and 8.8% of donors (88 of 996). Those three shares are computed from the packet facts only.

Does this money go to Maryland candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Maryland. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $416,861 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions; occupation labels are filer-entered.
