Psychiatrist occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

$596,884 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation PSYCHIATRIST and the 2008 presidential election cycle. That cell covers 804 receipts from 337 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $8.0 million ($8,024,472), so 2008 is 7.4% of the labeled roll. Psychologist is a neighboring clinical string, not a recode of PSYCHIATRIST. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not an ABPN roster, a state medical-board extract, or medical advice.

Key figures

  • Psychiatrist × 2008: $596,884.
  • 804 receipts from 337 donors.
  • 7.4% of the $8,024,472 PSYCHIATRIST total.
  • Filer-entered occupation; physician-association PAC filings are a different table.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by occupation and cycle.

Psychiatrist as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation PSYCHIATRIST and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $596,884, 804 contributions, and 337 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Psychiatry, child psychiatrist, physician, and psychologist are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an ABPN roster, a state medical-board extract, or medical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Psychiatrist donations at /occupations/psychiatrist/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $596,884 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Psychiatrist in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $596,884. Adult versus child versus forensic psychiatry is unpublished for Psychiatrist in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and eight hundred receipts is a specialty-medicine cell in a presidential year.

PSYCHIATRIST, not psychologist

$8.0 million ($8,024,472) belongs to the exact string PSYCHIATRIST across harvested cycles. It is not an ABPN roster, a state medical-board extract, or medical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — psychiatry, child psychiatrist, physician, and psychologist — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 7.4% of that title bucket ($596,884 of $8,024,472). Share of PSYCHIATRIST is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $7,427,588, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $596,884. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $8,024,472. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Psychiatrist donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $596,884.

337 psychiatrist donors and 804 receipts in 2008

337 donors and 804 receipts — about 2.4 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $742; mean per donor about $1,771. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and eight hundred receipts is a specialty-medicine cell in a presidential year. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 804 is a line count, not 337 one-time gifts. Adult versus child versus forensic psychiatry is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by PSYCHIATRIST. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $596,884. A 2012 Psychiatrist cell is a different cycle join. Quote 2008 only when the sentence names this year.

Medical specialty versus association PACs

Cite $596,884 as Psychiatrist in 2008. Cite $8,024,472 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add physician-association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $596,884 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.4%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode PSYCHIATRIST into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite Psychiatrist money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation PSYCHIATRIST, election cycle 2008, $596,884 in itemized individual contributions, 804 receipts, and 337 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $742 per line and $1,771 per donor in the cell. If the live Psychiatrist donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 804 as unique workers in the trade named by PSYCHIATRIST.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Psychiatrist donations rolls every cycle into one PSYCHIATRIST running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Psychiatrist × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 804 receipts and $596,884. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and the 2012 Psychiatrist cell

The occupation hub still holds $7,427,588 outside 2008. Most of the $8,024,472 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. A 2012 Psychiatrist cell is a different cycle join. Quote 2008 only when the sentence names this year. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.4. That ratio is 804 divided by 337, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
