Key figures

  • PHARMACIST itemizations sum to $19,178,714 from 98,326 contributions and 4,409 donors.
  • Occupation is donor-supplied Form 3/3X text, not a pharmacy-board roster.
  • Mean amounts are about $195 per contribution and about $4,350 per donor record.
  • PHYSICIAN, MD, and DOCTOR are separate occupation buckets unless normalized to PHARMACIST.

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.
