Researcher political contributions from Maryland

Researcher and Maryland as a high-line-count join

Occupation RESEARCHER and donor state MD produce $503,701, 3,410 contributions, and 105 donors. The occupation hub is $13,109,440, 65,981 contributions, and 1,808 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 5.2% (3,410 of 65,981); donor share about 5.8% (105 of 1,808). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Researcher hub and not a restatement of all Maryland occupations.

SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack RESEARCHER with those strings into a single Maryland professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

Maryland accounts for about 5.2% of RESEARCHER contributions (3,410 of 65,981) and about 5.8% of donors (105 of 1,808), beside a 3.8% dollar share. When contribution share exceeds dollar share, the Maryland cell is relatively high-frequency. 105 donors produced 3,410 lines, about 32.5 per donor here versus 36.5 nationally. Mean gift is about $148 in Maryland and about $199 in the occupation bucket.

RESEARCHER without a discipline or employer field

RESEARCHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $13,109,440 national total is RESEARCHER only. 1,808 donors produced 65,981 contributions in that occupation bucket. RESEARCHER is a generic research self-description, not an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. Nearby labels SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 65,981 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland (MD). 65,981 national contributions make RESEARCHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Maryland overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Maryland donor-state coding on itemized gifts

105 Maryland donors produced 3,410 contributions totaling $503,701. 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 a map of which campaigns received the $503,701. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MD-coded donors.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only RESEARCHER. The Researcher occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 96.2% of the $13,109,440 (remainder $12,605,739). Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. RESEARCHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Campus and lab affiliation are not verified

A 3.8% dollar share in Maryland does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 105 unique donors as an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. RESEARCHER is not interchangeable with SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR.

Quote $503,701, 3,410 contributions, and 105 donors for Researcher in Maryland, against $13,109,440 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Researcher and Maryland—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Maryland Researcher dollars next to line and donor counts

A complete claim names Researcher and Maryland (MD), then $503,701, 3,410 contributions, 105 donors, and 3.8% of $13,109,440, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Maryland: $12,605,739. Mean gift $148 is $503,701 divided by 3,410 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Maryland dollars on this page from the national RESEARCHER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded RESEARCHER in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,605,739) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 105 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Researcher occupation page and Maryland finance hub

Researcher donations holds the $13,109,440 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.

Questions

How much have Researcher donors in Maryland given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation RESEARCHER and state Maryland total $503,701, from 3,410 contributions and 105 donors. Nationwide, RESEARCHER-coded receipts are $13,109,440 from 65,981 contributions and 1,808 donors. Maryland is about 3.8% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does Maryland Researcher money include NIH employees?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string RESEARCHER and state is MD. 105 donors are not an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Researcher. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Researcher FEC money is from Maryland?

About 3.8% of the $13,109,440 occupation total is in this Maryland join ($503,701). Maryland also accounts for about 5.2% of contributions (3,410 of 65,981) and about 5.8% of donors (105 of 1,808). Remainder outside Maryland: $12,605,739. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

How does this differ from Researcher donors in DC?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Maryland. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $503,701 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Maryland campaign finance for every occupation coded to MD; open Researcher donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
