Psychologist political contributions from Maryland

Psychologist and Maryland as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PSYCHOLOGIST and donor state MD produce $1,021,869, 8,224 contributions, and 164 donors. The occupation hub is $32,154,906, 230,892 contributions, and 5,257 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 3.2%; contribution share about 3.6% (8,224 of 230,892); donor share about 3.1% (164 of 5,257). One hundred sixty-four Maryland donors are about 3.1% of 5,257 national donors; 8,224 contributions are about 3.6% of 230,892 national rows; dollars are about 3.2% of $32,154,906.

PSYCHIATRIST, THERAPIST, and COUNSELOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Psychologist total. Do not stack PSYCHOLOGIST with THERAPIST or COUNSELOR into a single Maryland professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

164 Maryland donors produced 8,224 contributions, about 50.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 43.9 rows per donor nationally (230,892 contributions from 5,257 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Maryland cell is about $124, against about $139 nationwide. Maryland’s about 3.2% dollar share from 164 people is a high-repeat slice (8,224 rows) of a 230,892-row occupation, distinct from the Pennsylvania Psychologist cell.

PSYCHOLOGIST without a Pennsylvania overlay

PSYCHOLOGIST is a filer-entered string. The national occupation hub is the same $32,154,906 book. This page filters donor state MD. The FEC file still does not verify a psychology license. The $32,154,906 national total is PSYCHOLOGIST only. 5,257 donors produced 230,892 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 230,892 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland (MD). Five thousand two hundred fifty-seven national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MD.

Maryland on the state side

164 Maryland donors produced 8,224 contributions totaling $1,021,869. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. MD is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,021,869.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only PSYCHOLOGIST. The Psychologist occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 96.8% of the $32,154,906. Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. PSYCHOLOGIST is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not add the Pennsylvania cell into this total, merge psychiatrist dollars, or claim that Psychologist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. The Pennsylvania Psychologist join is a different pair with different state totals. Do not stack the two cells.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PSYCHOLOGIST is not a licensing-board extract. Donor state MD is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Maryland Psychologist filter

Subtract the Maryland dollars on this page from the national PSYCHOLOGIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PSYCHOLOGIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($31,133,037) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 164 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 8,224 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,021,869 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the PSYCHOLOGIST national total, drops a key. One hundred sixty-four donors producing 8,224 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,021,869 headline.

Related tables

Psychologist donations holds the $32,154,906 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. Pennsylvania has a separate Psychologist occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Maryland. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,021,869 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to MD; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
