Key figures

  • Arizona Surgeon-coded donors reported $577,891 across 1,948 contributions from 144 donors.
  • Nationwide SURGEON totals $18,386,780, so Arizona is about 3.1% of those dollars.
  • Mean gift in the Arizona cell is about $297; nationally the occupation mean is about $325.
  • 144 donors are not a workforce headcount; occupation labels are filer-entered.
  • Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by occupation and donor state.

Why Surgeon and Arizona share a page

Surgeon pages without a state mix every donor address. Arizona pages without this string mix every occupation. The reason this file exists is the overlap: $577,891 from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts tagged SURGEON with donor state AZ. 1,948 contributions and 144 donors are the volume counts. Recipients are not in this packet.

The stored occupation label is filer-entered. The Commission does not certify that each filer held that title or used a standardized job code. Physician, orthopedic surgeon, plastic surgeon, and medical doctor remain other keys. A state medical-board roster, an ACS fellowship file, or a hospital privileging list would be a different dataset or a different string.

Keep $18,386,780 on the occupation hub and keep the Arizona campaign-finance hub for the state without this filter. The overlap — and only the overlap — is $577,891. Arizona SURGEON is a different state cell from Georgia and Tennessee. Physician without surgeon is a neighboring occupation. Board certification is unpublished.

SURGEON in Arizona, not a recode

$18,386,780 is the national total stored for SURGEON. Subtract $577,891 and $17,808,889 remains in other states (96.9%). Arizona therefore accounts for 3.1% of the grouping. That percentage is arithmetic on two packet facts, not a ranking against other occupations.

Do not read 3.1% as intensity, influence, or a planned Arizona campaign. It is $577,891 divided by $18,386,780. The occupation hub is where the other states live. Arizona SURGEON is a different state cell from Georgia and Tennessee. Physician without surgeon is a neighboring occupation. Board certification is unpublished. Neighbors include physician, orthopedic surgeon, plastic surgeon, and medical doctor.

1,948 contributions from 144 donors

1,948 itemized contributions and 144 unique donors sit behind $577,891. Average gift size is about $297; average dollars per donor about $4,013; lines per donor about 13.5. Averages hide skew. 144 donors is a small cell on this table.

Unique donors are FEC contributor keys for this string and state. They are not staff headcount for Surgeon. This packet does not publish names. Do not invent them here. Arizona SURGEON is a different state cell from Georgia and Tennessee. Physician without surgeon is a neighboring occupation. Board certification is unpublished.

AZ as the state dimension

The Arizona campaign-finance hub includes every stored occupation for donor state AZ. Surgeon is one cell in that matrix. This packet does not publish a state-wide all-occupation denominator, so no statewide share is stated. Open Arizona campaign finance to drop the occupation filter and Surgeon donations to drop the state.

Gifts from Arizona addresses can support committees anywhere. Donor state is not recipient geography. This join publishes the state-occupation total, the 1,948 contributions, the 144 unique donors, and the 3.1% share of $18,386,780. Arizona SURGEON is a different state cell from Georgia and Tennessee. Physician without surgeon is a neighboring occupation. Board certification is unpublished.

Citation template for Surgeon in Arizona

Citation template: Surgeon, Arizona, $577,891, 1,948 contributions, 144 donors, 3.1% of $18,386,780, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings and occupation titles out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string SURGEON.

The 3.1% share, the 144-donor count, and the $297 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling occupation word and they stop being facts from this packet.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.
