Surgeon political contributions from North Carolina

Surgeon-coded contributions from North Carolina addresses

Occupation SURGEON and donor state NC produce $470,852, 1,177 contributions, and 135 donors. The occupation hub is $18,386,780, 56,508 contributions, and 4,547 donors. North Carolina’s dollar share is about 2.6%; contribution share about 2.1% (1,177 of 56,508); donor share about 3.0% (135 of 4,547). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Surgeon hub and not a restatement of all North Carolina occupations.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and MD, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack SURGEON with those strings into a single North Carolina 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.

135 North Carolina donors produced 1,177 contributions, about 8.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.4 rows per donor nationally (56,508 contributions from 4,547 donors). Line volume in North Carolina is the distinctive feature of this cell: 2.1% of national SURGEON contributions against a 2.6% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this North Carolina cell is about $400, against about $325 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

SURGEON versus ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON and PHYSICIAN

SURGEON is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $18,386,780 national total is SURGEON only. 4,547 donors produced 56,508 contributions in that occupation bucket. SURGEON is a generic surgical title as typed, not a specialty-board roster. Nearby labels ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and MD remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 56,508 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to North Carolina (NC). 56,508 national contributions make SURGEON a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the North Carolina 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.

North Carolina as the state on the itemized record

135 North Carolina donors produced 1,177 contributions totaling $470,852. Donor state NC is the address on the record, not proof of a North Carolina license, and not a limit to North Carolina candidates. NC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $470,852. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from NC-coded donors.

The North Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NC. This join is only SURGEON. The Surgeon occupation hub without North Carolina still holds about 97.4% of the $18,386,780 (remainder $17,915,928). North Carolina’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NC. SURGEON is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Specialty boards are not in the join

A 2.6% dollar share in North Carolina 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 135 unique donors as an ACS fellow list. SURGEON is not interchangeable with ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and MD.

Quote $470,852, 1,177 contributions, and 135 donors for Surgeon in North Carolina, against $18,386,780 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—Surgeon and North Carolina—whenever the dollars are quoted.

North Carolina Surgeon dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Surgeon and North Carolina (NC), then $470,852, 1,177 contributions, 135 donors, and 2.6% of $18,386,780, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside North Carolina: $17,915,928. Mean gift $400 is $470,852 divided by 1,177 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 North Carolina dollars on this page from the national SURGEON occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SURGEON in every other state combined. That remainder ($17,915,928) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 135 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.

Surgical occupation pages and North Carolina finance

Surgeon donations holds the $18,386,780 national occupation total. North Carolina 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. General surgery labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Questions

How much have Surgeon donors in North Carolina given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation SURGEON and state North Carolina total $470,852, from 1,177 contributions and 135 donors. Nationwide, SURGEON-coded receipts are $18,386,780 from 56,508 contributions and 4,547 donors. North Carolina is about 2.6% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include orthopaedic surgeons who wrote a longer title?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string SURGEON and state is NC. 135 donors are not an ACS fellow list. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, and MD, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Surgeon. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Is this a North Carolina medical-board roster?

Not as a published split. Donor state is North Carolina. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $470,852 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open North Carolina campaign finance for every occupation coded to NC; open Surgeon donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
