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.
