PHARMACIST
$7,321,276 in itemized individual contributions sit under the FEC employer text PHARMACIST, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 9,483 contributions from 393 donors. PHARMACIST is a license title in the employer box, not a NAICS drugstore total, not a chain PAC, and not CVS or Walgreens payroll. PHYSICIAN, MEDICAL DOCTOR, and named pharmacy employers remain other keys.
Key figures
- PHARMACIST as FEC employer text totals $7,321,276 from 393 donors.
- 9,483 contribution lines sit under that license-title string.
- PHYSICIAN and named pharmacy employers are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or chain PAC total.
A credential parked in the employer field
Many pharmacists type a chain, a hospital, or an independent store. 393 donors typed PHARMACIST instead. LobbyVault groups that title as an industry key. The $7,321,276 total is those itemized gifts. It is not retail pharmacy revenue and not every person with a pharmacy license.
Donors who listed a chain legal name, a hospital pharmacy, or only PHARMACY as a business word sit in other rows if stored that way. Occupation pages can show pharmacist as a title beside a named employer. This page stays on the employer-box string PHARMACIST.
Independent owners, chain employees, and hospital pharmacists can share PHARMACIST if they skipped the store name. The $7,321,276 total cannot be read as independent-pharmacy political spending. Named chains remain other keys.
393 donors and 9,483 lines
393 unique donors produced 9,483 PHARMACIST contribution lines totaling $7,321,276. That is on the order of 24 itemized receipts per donor. Dollar volume is close to MEDICAL DOCTOR’s row, with far fewer people and fewer lines. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a retail-versus-hospital split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any pharmacy-association committee filings are outside the $7,321,276 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
393 unique donors produced 9,483 lines. That is fewer people than MEDICAL DOCTOR’s row and a smaller line count. The comparison is qualitative only; this page reports PHARMACIST’s own three facts.

Questions
- How much have PHARMACIST-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $7,321,276 to the PHARMACIST employer string, from 9,483 contributions and 393 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a drugstore PAC and not a NAICS pharmacy total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this CVS, Walgreens, or Pfizer political spending?
- No. The $7,321,276 total is individual contributions whose employer text grouped to PHARMACIST. Named chains and PFIZER INC are other FEC employer keys. LobbyVault does not fold those rows into this title string. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Does this include every licensed pharmacist?
- No. Pharmacists who typed a store, hospital, or manufacturer name are in those other rows. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text PHARMACIST. Occupation pages may still list the title beside a company. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed PHARMACIST?
- The rollup counts 393 donors and 9,483 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a census of pharmacy licenses. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
