Psychologist political contributions from Pennsylvania

Psychologist and Pennsylvania as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PSYCHOLOGIST and donor state PA produce $1,314,468, 12,151 contributions, and 252 donors. The occupation hub is $32,154,906, 230,892 contributions, and 5,257 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 4.1%; contribution share about 5.3% (12,151 of 230,892); donor share about 4.8% (252 of 5,257). Two hundred fifty-two Pennsylvania donors are about 4.8% of 5,257 national donors; 12,151 contributions are about 5.3% of 230,892 national rows; dollars are about 4.1% 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 PSYCHIATRIST or THERAPIST into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

252 Pennsylvania donors produced 12,151 contributions, about 48.2 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 Pennsylvania cell is about $108, against about $139 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s about 4.1% dollar share from 12,151 rows is a high-repeat professional slice of a 230,892-row occupation.

PSYCHOLOGIST as a clinical-title string

PSYCHOLOGIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Pennsylvania psychology license, a PhD, or a practice setting. The word on the form is the filter. 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 Pennsylvania (PA). 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 PA.

Pennsylvania on the state side

252 Pennsylvania donors produced 12,151 contributions totaling $1,314,468. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,314,468.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only PSYCHOLOGIST. The Psychologist occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 95.9% of the $32,154,906. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to PA. PSYCHOLOGIST is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count licensed psychologists, merge therapist dollars, or claim that Psychologist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PSYCHOLOGIST is not PSYCHIATRIST even when filers meant a mental-health practice.

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 PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Psychologist filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania 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 ($30,840,438) 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 252 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 12,151 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,314,468 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the PSYCHOLOGIST national total, drops a key. Two hundred fifty-two donors producing 12,151 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,314,468 headline.

Psychologist donations holds the $32,154,906 national occupation total. Pennsylvania 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. Maryland has a separate Psychologist occupation-state tie with different facts.
