Nurse political contributions from Pennsylvania

The Nurse–Pennsylvania intersection

Occupation NURSE and donor state PA produce $814,803, 4,793 contributions, and 135 donors. The occupation hub is $15,033,909, 122,565 contributions, and 3,297 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 5.4%; contribution share about 3.9% (4,793 of 122,565); donor share about 4.1% (135 of 3,297). One hundred thirty-five Pennsylvania donors sit inside 3,297 national NURSE donors. Contribution volume (4,793 of 122,565) is a high-frequency professional slice of a large occupation.

RN, REGISTERED NURSE, and NURSE PRACTITIONER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack NURSE with RN or REGISTERED NURSE into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

135 Pennsylvania donors produced 4,793 contributions, about 35.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 37.2 rows per donor nationally (122,565 contributions from 3,297 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Pennsylvania cell is about $170, against about $123 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s $814,803 is address-coded itemized money. It is not a union PAC total and not a hospital-system payroll. Credential letters are not in this hub unless the filer typed NURSE only.

NURSE as a short clinical occupation string

NURSE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an RN, LPN, or APRN license in Pennsylvania or any other state. The $15,033,909 national total is NURSE only. 3,297 donors produced 122,565 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 122,565 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Pennsylvania (PA). One hundred twenty-two thousand five hundred sixty-five national contributions make NURSE a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the Pennsylvania overlap.

Pennsylvania as donor state

135 Pennsylvania donors produced 4,793 contributions totaling $814,803. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania nursing license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $814,803.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only NURSE. The Nurse occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 94.6% of the $15,033,909. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every occupation coded to PA. NURSE is only this filter.

What not to infer from Nurse plus Pennsylvania

This page does not count licensed nurses, rank hospitals, or claim that Nurse-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. NURSE is not REGISTERED NURSE even when filers meant the same credential.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. NURSE is not a state board of nursing extract. Donor state PA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names and NPI numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Nurse filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania dollars on this page from the national NURSE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded NURSE in every other state combined. That remainder ($14,219,106) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 135 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 4,793 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $814,803 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the NURSE national total, drops a key. One hundred thirty-five donors producing 4,793 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $814,803 headline.

Nurse donations holds the $15,033,909 national occupation total. Pennsylvania campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. ASSOCIATE, VETERINARIAN, and EDITOR are other Pennsylvania occupation ties in this slice.

Not necessarily. The hub is the string NURSE. Filers who wrote RN or REGISTERED NURSE may sit in other buckets. The FEC file does not verify licenses. State is PA. The 135 Pennsylvania donors used occupation NURSE and state PA. Filers who wrote RN or NURSE PRACTITIONER may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
