What nurse practitioner donors give in federal races

Seventy-three thousand lines, small mean check

$5,321,159 is the occupation-level dollar total. 73,283 is the itemization count. 1,388 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $73. Mean dollars per donor record are about $3,833. Repeat giving is about 53 itemizations per donor record.

73,283 lines from 1,388 records is a high-repeat pattern common to widely used clinical titles. The per-line mean of about $73 is among the smaller means in this harvest band, so the contribution count is the number that explains how $5.3M accumulated. Recurring small gifts can raise the line count without raising the mean.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no license field, no hospital-versus-clinic split, and no gift-size distribution. A few large lines can still sit inside a low average.

Nurse practitioner is not nurse and not NP

NURSE, REGISTERED NURSE, RN, and NP — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to NURSE PRACTITIONER. This page cites only $5,321,159, 73,283 contributions, and 1,388 donors.

The FEC record does not verify an NP, APRN, or state board credential. Retired nurse practitioners, specialists who typed the two-word title, and people using the phrase loosely can all appear. Cross-walking this page to a nursing-board list would overstate or understate the overlap. Occupation is the donor’s word on that Schedule A line, published as reported on FEC.gov.

Reading the three facts together

A citation that showed only $5,321,159 would hide that the money arrived in 73,283 pieces. A citation that showed only 1,388 donors would hide how often those records reappear. Use all three facts. About 53 itemizations per donor record is a high repeat rate even among clinical keys.

LobbyVault does not infer party or health-policy motive from the occupation column. Recipient committees are a different join. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $5.3M. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Occupation versus industry for NP work

Industry pages group employers. A nurse practitioner in a hospital and one in a private clinic share this occupation string if they typed NURSE PRACTITIONER. Adding occupation dollars to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Open the NURSE PRACTITIONER occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see neighboring clinical titles as separate keys. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $5,321,159.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (family nurse practitioner, psychiatric nurse practitioner) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to NURSE PRACTITIONER. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code. Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data.

Quote occupation equals NURSE PRACTITIONER, then $5,321,159, 73,283 contributions, and 1,388 donors. Compact millions ($5.3M) are the same headline amount rounded to one decimal place. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.

NURSE PRACTITIONER as high-volume clinical text

NURSE PRACTITIONER in this extract is $5,321,159 on 73,283 itemizations from 1,388 donor records, or $5.3M in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules; this guide does not invent a fourth occupation-level fact.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $73 per contribution and about $3,833 per donor record, with roughly 53 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. NURSE, NP, and REGISTERED NURSE remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to NURSE PRACTITIONER. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster.

Industry pages group employer-side categories and should not be added to $5,321,159. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals NURSE PRACTITIONER, dollars equal $5,321,159, contributions equal 73,283, donors equal 1,388. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column.

Researchers who need cycle cuts, employer text, or recipient lists should leave this guide and open the live occupation hub. This file restates harvested packet facts only. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see how a $73 mean line produced $5.3M. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have nurse practitioner donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list NURSE PRACTITIONER sum to $5,321,159, or $5.3M, across 73,283 contributions and 1,388 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The figure is an occupation-string total, not a count of licensed NPs. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Are nurses included in the nurse practitioner total?

Only if they typed NURSE PRACTITIONER. NURSE, REGISTERED NURSE, and NP are separate occupation strings unless the bulk extract normalized them here. This page covers NURSE PRACTITIONER: $5,321,159, 73,283 contributions, and 1,388 donors. Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

Why are there so many nurse practitioner contributions?

73,283 itemizations from 1,388 donors implies about 53 contributions per donor record. Repeat itemizing raises the line count. Mean line size is about $73. The packet does not split causes. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Does listing NURSE PRACTITIONER prove an NP license?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. The FEC record does not verify a nursing-board credential. Quote 73,283 contributions and 1,388 donor records with the dollars. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
