THERAPIST

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.

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.
