What PHARMACIST donors give in federal races

Wide licensed-trade pool, modest mean line

$19,178,714 is the occupation-level dollar total. 98,326 is the itemization count. 4,409 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $195. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,350. Repeat giving is about 22 itemizations per donor record.

4,409 donor records is a wide pool relative to several executive titles with similar headline dollars. The per-line mean sits with other clinical-trade strings that generate many small itemizations rather than a handful of large checks.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet does not include a distribution, a chain-versus-independent split, or a recipient list.

PHARMACIST is not physician and not pharmacy technician

PHYSICIAN, MD, DOCTOR, and pharmacy-technician strings are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to PHARMACIST. This page cites only $19,178,714, 98,326 contributions, and 4,409 donors.

The FEC record does not verify an active pharmacist license. Retired pharmacists, hospital pharmacists, retail staff who typed the generic noun, and people using the word loosely can all appear. Cross-walking this page to a board roster would overstate or understate the overlap.

Reading the three facts together

A citation that showed only $19,178,714 would hide that the money arrived in 98,326 pieces. A citation that showed only 4,409 donors would hide how often those records reappear. Use all three facts.

LobbyVault does not infer party or drug-policy motive from the occupation column. Recipient committees are a different join. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $19.2 million.

Occupation versus industry for pharmacy work

Industry pages group employers such as drugstore chains or hospital systems. A pharmacist in independent practice and a pharmacist employed by a chain share this occupation string if they typed PHARMACIST. Adding occupation dollars to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Open the PHARMACIST occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see neighboring clinical titles as separate keys.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (pharmacist owner, retired pharmacist, PharmD) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to PHARMACIST. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Quote occupation equals PHARMACIST, then $19,178,714, 98,326 contributions, and 4,409 donors.

Clinical title without a board match

PHARMACIST in this extract is $19,178,714 on 98,326 itemizations from 4,409 donor records, or $19.2 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter the total. Specialty or technician nouns, if they exist as separate keys, stay outside $19,178,714.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $195 per contribution and about $4,350 per donor record, with roughly 22 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. Neighboring strings such as PHYSICIAN and MD remain other occupation pages. Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. Industry pages should not be added to $19,178,714. A person who listed PHARMACIST on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines.

4,409 donor records is a wide licensed-trade pool for a $19.2 million headline, which is why the mean line is about $195 rather than a four-figure check. Pharmacy technicians, PharmD strings, and pharmacist-owner hybrids stay outside this page unless they normalized to PHARMACIST. The occupations index is the place to see those neighboring keys as separate rows. Compact millions ($19.2 million) are the same headline amount as $19,178,714, rounded to one decimal place.

A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PHARMACIST, dollars equal $19,178,714, contributions equal 98,326, donors equal 4,409. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. LobbyVault does not infer motive from the occupation column. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only. Source: Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault from FEC bulk data. Do not treat 4,409 as a unique-person estimate after name matching.

Retail chains, hospital pharmacies, and independent shops all feed this occupation string if the donor typed PHARMACIST. That mix is why 4,409 donor records can sit under one key without proving a single employment model. Cite $19,178,714, 98,326 contributions, and 4,409 donors as an exact-string total on itemized Form 3/3X receipts. Do not treat about 22 itemizations per donor record as a typical giving cadence for every pharmacist.
