What therapist donors give in federal races

High-frequency receipts on a one-word clinical label

$5,798,623 is the occupation-level dollar total. 47,445 is the itemization count. 1,043 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $122 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $5,560 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 45 itemizations per donor record. Forty-seven thousand-plus lines from 1,043 donor records is a high-frequency pattern: many receipts per person and a modest mean dollars per line.

Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no party split, and no cycle series. A few large lines can lift $122 while most receipts stay smaller—or the reverse. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.

Mean dollars per contribution sit toward the low side among occupation strings near this dollar band. This bucket is heavier on line count than on dollars per line.

Specialty prefixes are other occupation pages

The FEC does not verify licenses. Physical therapists, mental-health therapists, and people who typed THERAPIST without a specialty share this string if that is the occupation text. Specialty prefixes live on other pages.

FEC Form 3 (candidate committees) and Form 3X (PACs and party committees) collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of job titles and no license check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals THERAPIST after indexing. PHYSICAL THERAPIST, PSYCHOTHERAPIST, and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to THERAPIST.

What 1,043 donor records can and cannot show

1,043 donor records used THERAPIST on at least one matching itemization. 1,043 donor records used THERAPIST on at least one matching itemization. That is not a census of licensed therapists. The one-word label is a coarse bucket.

A person who listed THERAPIST on some gifts and a neighboring title on others will appear in both occupation totals for the respective lines. Occupation is stored per transaction, not as a lifetime identity field. Address variants can also split one human into more than one donor record.

Keep health-sector industry tables separate

Industry pages on LobbyVault group employer-side categories. A therapist at a hospital and one in private practice share this occupation string if they typed THERAPIST. Industry pages group health-sector employers separately. Adding $5,798,623 to an industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations. Use one filter at a time unless you are tracing a single row.

Open the 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 $5,798,623.

How to cite the therapist key

A usable public-record citation names the exact string: THERAPIST itemizations in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sum to $5,798,623 on 47,445 contributions from 1,043 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. The facts do not encode party. Recipient committees are a different join. The one-word label is not a license roster and not a combined allied-health total.

Treating THERAPIST as unprefixed clinical text

THERAPIST in this extract is $5,798,623 on 47,445 itemizations from 1,043 donor records, or $5.8 million 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. Therapist without a specialty prefix is a coarse FEC occupation bucket, not a board-certified census. The occupation field is donor-supplied free text, not a NAICS industry code and not a verified roster.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $122 per contribution and about $5,560 per donor record, with roughly 45 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. PHYSICAL THERAPIST, PSYCHOTHERAPIST, and OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST remain other occupation pages unless the extract normalized them to 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 $5,798,623. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals THERAPIST, dollars equal $5,798,623, contributions equal 47,445, donors equal 1,043. 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. Compact millions ($5.8 million) are the same headline amount as $5,798,623, rounded to one decimal place. Keep the contribution count and the donor-record count in any sentence that quotes the dollars, so readers can see the shape of THERAPIST in this extract. Exact-string matching is the method. Anything else is a different query.

Questions

How much have therapist donors given in FEC records?

Itemizations that list THERAPIST sum to $5,798,623 across 47,445 contributions and 1,043 donor records in the LobbyVault index of FEC bulk data. The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.

Are physical therapists included?

Only if the occupation field equals THERAPIST. PHYSICAL THERAPIST is a different key. This page is $5,798,623, 47,445 contributions, and 1,043 donors for the one-word string. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data. Unitemized gifts never carry an occupation code.

Why are there 47,445 contributions?

That is the itemized line count for this exact string. Repeat gifts from the same 1,043 donor records add rows. About 45 lines per record and about $122 per contribution are means on $5,798,623. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Unitemized receipts are outside this total.

Does the FEC verify therapy licenses?

No. Occupation is self-reported free text. Treat the 1,043 donor records as matching text, not a licensing roster. The indexed sum remains $5,798,623. Confirm surprising amounts on the committee report at FEC.gov. Occupation matching is exact-string only. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
