Veterinarian political money in the 2008 election cycle

Veterinarian as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

VETERINARIAN plus cycle 2008 equals $690,462. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2008. Vet, DVM, and Veterinary Medicine are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a veterinary-board license file or an AVMA directory. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the occupation total $10,539,916 and the remainder $9,849,454.

Parent hubs: Veterinarian donations at /occupations/veterinarian/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $690,462 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

A large Veterinarian occupation total across cycles

$10,539,916 belongs to the exact string VETERINARIAN across harvested cycles. It is not a veterinary-board license file or an AVMA directory. People who wrote nearby wording — Vet, DVM, and Veterinary Medicine — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 6.6% of that title bucket.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $690,462. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $10,539,916. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Veterinarian donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell.

504 donors and a four-figure mean gift

504 donors and 1,038 receipts — about 2.1 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $665; mean per donor about $1,370. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. No median is published in this packet.

Neither 504 nor 1,038 is a census of every licensed veterinarian who donated. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $690,462. Filers who wrote Vet, DVM, or Veterinary Medicine are other occupation keys.

What 6.6% of Veterinarian-coded dollars is not

Cite $690,462 as Veterinarian in 2008. Cite $10,539,916 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add a veterinary PAC or a state VMA committee to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $690,462 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 6.6%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode VETERINARIAN into a veterinary-board license file or an AVMA directory. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. A presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite Veterinarian × 2008

A clean footnote names occupation VETERINARIAN, election cycle 2008, $690,462 in itemized individual contributions, 1,038 receipts, and 504 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $665 per line and $1,370 per donor in the cell. If the live Veterinarian donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,038 as unique workers in the trade.

Repeat the four numbers together: $690,462 in the 2008 cycle, 1,038 contributions, 504 donors, and 6.6% of $10,539,916. That sentence is the join. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.1. That ratio is 1,038 divided by 504, not a measure of turnout.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and sibling keys

Vet, DVM, and Veterinary Medicine are neighboring strings, not parents of this cell. Opening those occupation hubs and adding their dollars to $10,539,916 would mix keys. All occupations is the index for those other strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pages, including other years for Veterinarian when those files exist.

Do not rank Veterinarian against other occupations from this packet. The packet has one occupation total and one cycle cell. Rankings would require other occupation totals that are not facts here. Stop at $690,462 tagged Veterinarian in 2008.

Veterinarian remains a filer-entered occupation string on FEC Form 3/3X itemizations. The 2008 presidential window is the second filter. Together they produce $690,462, 1,038 contributions, and 504 donors. Researchers who need employer, committee, or party splits must leave this packet; those dimensions are not facts here. Neighboring titles Vet, DVM, and Veterinary Medicine stay on their own occupation hubs. The occupation total $10,539,916 still includes every other harvested cycle, which is why $9,849,454 sits off this page. Cite FEC.gov. Do not attach $690,462 to a veterinary-board license file or an AVMA directory or to a veterinary PAC or a state VMA committee. Do not attach it to USAspending.gov awards. The join is the occupation VETERINARIAN and the election cycle 2008, nothing else.
