Veterinarian political contributions from Pennsylvania

The Veterinarian–Pennsylvania intersection

Occupation VETERINARIAN and donor state PA produce $459,376, 2,065 contributions, and 109 donors. The occupation hub is $10,539,916, 63,922 contributions, and 2,557 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 4.4%; contribution share about 3.2% (2,065 of 63,922); donor share about 4.3% (109 of 2,557). One hundred nine Pennsylvania donors sit inside 2,557 national VETERINARIAN donors. Contribution volume (2,065 of 63,922) is a high-frequency professional slice of a mid-size occupation.

DVM, VET, and VETERINARY, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack VETERINARIAN with DVM or VET into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

109 Pennsylvania donors produced 2,065 contributions, about 18.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 25.0 rows per donor nationally (63,922 contributions from 2,557 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Pennsylvania cell is about $222, against about $165 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s $459,376 is address-coded itemized money, not a USDA accreditation list. The same occupation string also appears in a Georgia tie with fewer donors (82) and fewer rows (1,624).

VETERINARIAN as a license-style occupation string

VETERINARIAN is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Pennsylvania veterinary license, a USDA accreditation, or a practice type. The $10,539,916 national total is VETERINARIAN only. 2,557 donors produced 63,922 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 63,922 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Pennsylvania (PA). Sixty-three thousand nine hundred twenty-two national contributions make VETERINARIAN a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the Pennsylvania overlap.

Pennsylvania as donor state

109 Pennsylvania donors produced 2,065 contributions totaling $459,376. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania veterinary license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $459,376.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only VETERINARIAN. The Veterinarian occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 95.6% of the $10,539,916. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every occupation coded to PA. VETERINARIAN is only this filter.

What not to infer from Veterinarian plus Pennsylvania

This page does not count licensed veterinarians, rank clinics, or claim that Veterinarian-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. VETERINARIAN is not DVM even when filers meant the same credential.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. VETERINARIAN is not a veterinary-board extract. Donor state PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Veterinarian filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania dollars on this page from the national VETERINARIAN occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded VETERINARIAN in every other state combined. That remainder ($10,080,540) 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 109 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 2,065 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $459,376 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the VETERINARIAN national total, drops a key. One hundred nine donors producing 2,065 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $459,376 headline.

Related tables

Veterinarian donations holds the $10,539,916 national occupation total. Pennsylvania 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. The Georgia Veterinarian tie in this slice uses the same occupation hub and a different state key.

Questions

How much have Veterinarian donors in Pennsylvania given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation VETERINARIAN and state Pennsylvania total $459,376, from 2,065 contributions and 109 donors. Nationwide, VETERINARIAN-coded receipts are $10,539,916 from 63,922 contributions and 2,557 donors. Pennsylvania is about 4.4% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these licensed Pennsylvania veterinarians?

The FEC file does not verify licenses. Occupation is the string VETERINARIAN and state is PA. One hundred nine donors are not a board roster. DVM, if used, may sit in another bucket. The 109 Pennsylvania donors used occupation VETERINARIAN and state PA. Filers who wrote DVM or VETERINARY may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

What share of Veterinarian FEC money is from Pennsylvania?

About 4.4% of the $10,539,916 occupation total is in this Pennsylvania join ($459,376). Pennsylvania also accounts for about 3.2% of contributions (2,065 of 63,922) and about 4.3% of donors (109 of 2,557). A Georgia Veterinarian tie in this slice is a separate state join.

Does this money go to Pennsylvania candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Pennsylvania. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $459,376 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to PA; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
