Psychologist political contributions from Texas

Psychologist and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PSYCHOLOGIST and donor state TX produce $3,207,848, 6,444 contributions, and 230 donors. The occupation hub is $32,154,906, 230,892 contributions, and 5,257 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 10.0%; contribution share about 2.8% (6,444 of 230,892); donor share about 4.4% (230 of 5,257). Two hundred thirty Texas donors are about 4.4% of 5,257 national donors; 6,444 contributions are about 2.8% of 230,892 national rows; dollars are about 10.0% 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 Texas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

230 Texas donors produced 6,444 contributions, about 28.0 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 Texas cell is about $498, against about $139 nationwide. Texas’s about 10.0% dollar share from 230 people runs ahead of the 2.8% contribution share — a larger-mean 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 Texas 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 Texas (TX). 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 TX.

Texas on the state side of the join

230 Texas donors produced 6,444 contributions totaling $3,207,848. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. TX is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,207,848.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only PSYCHOLOGIST. The Psychologist occupation hub without Texas still holds about 90.0% of the $32,154,906. Texas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TX. PSYCHOLOGIST is only this filter.

What the Psychologist–Texas 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 TX 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 Texas 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 ($28,947,058) 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 230 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 6,444 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,207,848 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the PSYCHOLOGIST national total, drops a key. Two hundred thirty donors producing 6,444 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $3,207,848 headline.

Psychologist donations holds the $32,154,906 national occupation total. Texas 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 and Maryland have separate Psychologist occupation-state ties with different facts.
