What physical therapist donors give in federal races

Thirty-six thousand clinical lines under $5.2M

$5,202,127 is the occupation-level dollar total. 36,298 is the itemization count. 1,361 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $143. Mean dollars per donor record are about $3,822. Repeat giving is about 27 itemizations per donor record.

36,298 lines from 1,361 records is a high-frequency clinical pattern. The per-line mean of about $143 sits with other therapy and nursing-adjacent strings in this harvest band. The contribution count, not a handful of large gifts, is what explains how $5.2M accumulated.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no license field, no outpatient-versus-hospital split, and no gift-size distribution. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Physical therapist is not PT and not occupational therapist

PT, DPT, and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to PHYSICAL THERAPIST. This page cites only $5,202,127, 36,298 contributions, and 1,361 donors.

The FEC does not verify a state PT license or an APTA membership. Retired therapists, assistants who typed PHYSICAL THERAPIST, and people using the phrase loosely can all appear. Cross-walking this page to a licensing-board list would overstate or understate the overlap. Occupation is published as reported on FEC.gov.

What 1,361 donor records can and cannot show

1,361 donor records used PHYSICAL THERAPIST on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of licensed PTs. Retired clinicians and forms filled with a spouse’s title can appear. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

A person who listed PHYSICAL THERAPIST on some gifts and PT on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction. The 27-line repeat rate is a property of matching text, not proof that 1,361 unique people each gave 27 times.

Keep health-sector industry tables separate

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A physical therapist in a hospital and one in a private clinic share this occupation string if they typed PHYSICAL THERAPIST. Adding $5,202,127 to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the PHYSICAL THERAPIST occupation page for the indexed line list. Use the occupations index to place this string next to neighboring labels. Independent expenditures are not contributions and are not inside $5,202,127.

How to cite PHYSICAL THERAPIST

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: PHYSICAL THERAPIST itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $5,202,127 on 36,298 contributions from 1,361 donor records. Add that the figure is itemized occupation money. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter the total.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X schedules published on FEC.gov. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. Do not treat the total as a census of practicing physical therapists. Compact millions ($5.2M) are the same headline amount as $5,202,127, rounded to one decimal place.

PHYSICAL THERAPIST as typed clinical text

PHYSICAL THERAPIST in this extract is $5,202,127 on 36,298 itemizations from 1,361 donor records, or $5.2M 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 $143 per contribution and about $3,822 per donor record, with roughly 27 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. PT and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to PHYSICAL THERAPIST. 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 $5,202,127. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PHYSICAL THERAPIST, dollars equal $5,202,127, contributions equal 36,298, donors equal 1,361. 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 the shape of PHYSICAL THERAPIST in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have physical therapist donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list PHYSICAL THERAPIST sum to $5,202,127, or $5.2M, across 36,298 contributions and 1,361 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The figure is an occupation-string total, not a count of licensed PTs. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Are occupational therapists included?

No. OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST is a separate occupation string. This page covers PHYSICAL THERAPIST only: $5,202,127, 36,298 contributions, and 1,361 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined therapy total the packet does not contain. Occupation is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.

Does the FEC confirm a PT license?

No. Occupation is self-reported. A clinical title on Schedule A is not a license check. Treat the 1,361 donor records as a count of matching text, not a board roster. The indexed sum remains $5,202,127. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Where do I review individual physical therapist gifts?

The PHYSICAL THERAPIST occupation page lists indexed itemizations. Verify amounts on FEC.gov. The occupation total is $5,202,127. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total. Industry pages group employers, not this occupation string.
