Nurse political contributions from Kansas

Thirty-three Kansas donors inside a high-volume occupation

Occupation NURSE and donor state KS produce $998,649, 475 contributions, and 33 donors. The occupation hub is $15,033,909, 122,565 contributions, and 3,297 donors. Kansas’s dollar share is about 6.6% ($998,649 of $15,033,909). Its contribution share is about 0.39% (475 of 122,565). Its donor share is about 1.0% (33 of 3,297).

Dollar share is many times contribution share. The national occupation is receipt-heavy: 122,565 itemized gifts from 3,297 people. Kansas’s 475 gifts from 33 people is a thin line count that still holds about one fifteenth of occupation dollars. That is concentration by amount, not by volume.

RN, REGISTERED NURSE, and NURSE PRACTITIONER are other keys. They are not inside $15,033,909 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping.

NURSE as typed text, not a board of nursing file

NURSE is a one-word occupation stamp. FEC.gov does not match it to a Kansas State Board of Nursing license. Three thousand two hundred ninety-seven national donors used the string. People who typed RN or REGISTERED NURSE sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.

One hundred twenty-two thousand five hundred sixty-five contributions from 3,297 donors nationwide is about 37 itemized gifts per donor. Kansas’s 475 contributions from 33 donors is about 14 gifts per donor. Repeat itemization is less dense in the Kansas cell. Gift size is much larger, as the ratios below show.

Mean gift size among thirty-three people

Dividing $998,649 by 475 contributions yields about $2,102 per gift. Dividing by 33 donors yields about $30,262 per donor. Nationally, $15,033,909 divided by 122,565 contributions is about $123 per gift. The Kansas mean is more than fifteen times the national occupation mean. A few large itemized gifts among 33 people explain the cell.

Donor state KS is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Kansas committees. This join does not identify hospitals, and it does not split party.

Thirty-three Kansas donors produced 475 contributions, about 14 itemized gifts per person, versus about 37 nationally. Frequency is much lower. Amount carries the cell: about $2,102 per gift versus about $123 nationally. Kansas is almost absent from the occupation’s 122,565-line pile (0.39% of contributions) and still holds 6.6% of dollars.

What 6.6% of Nurse dollars is not

Kansas’s share is a table split. It is not evidence that Kansas caused nurse giving, that nurses as a class funded a party, or that 33 people represent Kansas’s nursing workforce. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page does not offer clinical guidance.

NURSE is a one-word stamp. RN and REGISTERED NURSE can be larger keys in other FEC views. A Kansas filer who typed RN is not in $998,649. Treating this cell as Kansas nursing would mix a thin, amount-heavy join with a licensed workforce.

Occupation hub versus this concentrated Kansas cell

Nurse donations carries the $15,033,909 national occupation total and the 122,565-contribution pile. Kansas campaign finance carries all KS-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties place this 33-donor cell beside other occupation-state pages so 6.6% of NURSE dollars is not mistaken for 6.6% of Kansas statewide giving.

The occupation hub still holds $14,035,260 outside Kansas ($15,033,909 minus $998,649). That remainder is the thick, smaller-gift mix that defines NURSE nationally. This page isolates the Kansas overlap, not the occupation’s typical receipt.

A thin line count inside a thick occupation

NURSE nationally is 122,565 contributions. Kansas is 475 of those lines—0.39%—and 6.6% of the dollars. That mismatch is the whole cell. Thirty-three people and a $2,102 mean gift sit inside an occupation whose national mean is about $123 because most other states’ NURSE receipts are smaller itemized gifts stacked many times.

RN and REGISTERED NURSE remain other keys. $998,649 is the one-word stamp and KS. It is not Kansas nursing employment.

Questions

How much have Nurse donors in Kansas given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Nurse and state Kansas total $998,649, from 475 contributions and 33 donors. Nationwide, Nurse-coded receipts are $15,033,909 from 122,565 contributions and 3,297 donors. Kansas is about 6.6% of those dollars.

Does Nurse mean licensed RNs in Kansas?

NURSE is the occupation text as entered on itemized filings. RN and REGISTERED NURSE can exist as separate keys. FEC aggregates do not verify licenses. The 33 Kansas donors used this one-word stamp.

Why is the Kansas average gift so much larger than the national Nurse average?

Kansas’s mean is about $2,102 per gift ($998,649 / 475) versus about $123 nationally ($15,033,909 / 122,565). With only 33 donors and 475 contributions, a few large itemized gifts raise the mean. The national occupation is dominated by many smaller itemized gifts.

Is this money given to Kansas candidates?

Not necessarily. KS is the donor state on the contribution. The $998,649 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
