Nurse political money in the 2014 election cycle

Nurse as occupation, 2014 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation NURSE and election cycle 2014. Matching rows sum to $780,662, 548 contributions, and 281 donors. NURSE on an FEC receipt is not a license check. Filers who typed RN or Nurse Practitioner sit in other occupation rows. The occupation hub is $15,033,909 across every cycle in the aggregate. The 2014 cycle hub mixes every other occupation that used that year. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

2014’s dollar share is 5.2% ($780,662 of $15,033,909). The remainder, $14,253,247, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A few hundred donor keys and a 5.2% year share mean 2014 is a modest slice of a large clinical occupation roll. Correlation between a job title and a two-year FEC window is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $780,662.

The Nurse string across every cycle on file

$15,033,909 is the occupation-side denominator. It is not limited to 2014. Registered Nurse, RN, and Nurse Practitioner are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $15,033,909 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

Open Nurse donations for the $15,033,909 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. 2014 is a midterm cycle. This join does not rank nursing versus other clinical titles in that window.

281 donors and a four-figure mean per person

Dividing $780,662 by 548 contributions yields about $1,425 per gift. Dividing by 281 donors yields about $2,778 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 2.0 (548 ÷ 281). Those ratios describe this string in 2014, not payroll at firms that employ people with similar titles.

281 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × cycle aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in 2014. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 281 figure. The cycle hub still holds every other occupation’s 2014 receipts beside this cell.

What 5.2% of Nurse-coded dollars is not

A 5.2% share of Nurse-coded dollars from 2014 does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and cycle are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that 2014 donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $780,662 as itemized individual receipts tagged NURSE in 2014, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Nurse × 2014

A complete claim names Nurse and 2014, then $780,662, 548 contributions, 281 donors, and 5.2% of $15,033,909, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 281 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Nurse and 2014—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $1,425 and mean per donor $2,778 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

Occupation hub, 2014 hub, and RN as a sibling key

The occupation hub still holds $14,253,247 outside 2014. Most of the $15,033,909 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Registered Nurse, RN, and Nurse Practitioner are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of NURSE on this page. Gifts per donor in 2014 average about 2.0. That ratio is 548 divided by 281, not a measure of turnout.

Questions

How much did Nurse-tagged donors give in 2014?

The join records $780,662 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Nurse in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 548 contributions and 281 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $15,033,909, so 2014 is 5.2% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every nurse who donated in 2014?

No. The 281 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to NURSE in 2014. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $780,662 on 548 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Nurse occupation money is the 2014 cycle?

5.2%: $780,662 of $15,033,909. The remaining $14,253,247 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. That share is $780,662 divided by $15,033,909, not a ranking of civic engagement and not a peak-year list. Other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder.

Where are the live Nurse and 2014 tables?

Nurse donations carries the $15,033,909 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle hub places Nurse beside other occupation strings that year. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Nurse × 2014 intersection only.
