Pharmacist political contributions from Illinois

PHARMACIST joined to Illinois donor state

Occupation PHARMACIST and donor state IL produce $1,044,879, 3,243 contributions, and 140 donors. The occupation hub is $19,178,714, 98,326 contributions, and 4,409 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 5.4% ($1,044,879 of $19,178,714). Its contribution share is about 3.3% (3,243 of 98,326). Its donor share is about 3.2% (140 of 4,409).

Dollar share exceeds contribution share and donor share by a modest gap. One hundred forty Illinois donors produced about one nineteenth of occupation dollars while making up about one thirty-first of occupation donors. That is mild concentration, not a handful-of-people cell.

PHARMACY, PHARM D, and PHYSICIAN are other keys. They are not inside $19,178,714 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping.

A clinical title with a thick national receipt pile

PHARMACIST is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not match it to an Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation license. Four thousand four hundred nine national donors used the string. People who typed RPH or PHARMD sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.

Ninety-eight thousand three hundred twenty-six contributions from 4,409 donors nationwide is about 22 itemized gifts per donor. Illinois’s 3,243 contributions from 140 donors is about 23 gifts per donor. Receipt frequency matches the national occupation pace. The dollar gap is in mean gift size, not in how often the 140 donors appear.

Illinois cell averages among many Illinois titles

Dividing $1,044,879 by 3,243 contributions yields about $322 per gift. Dividing by 140 donors yields about $7,463 per donor. Nationally, $19,178,714 divided by 98,326 contributions is about $195 per gift. The Illinois mean is higher than the national occupation mean.

Donor state IL is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Illinois committees. This packet wave also includes Illinois joins for Unemployed, Interior Designer, Creative Director, Venture Capitalist, Insurance Broker, and Producer. Those occupation strings are not nested inside PHARMACIST.

One hundred forty Illinois donors produced 3,243 contributions, about 23 itemized gifts per person, matching the national 22. Frequency is not distinctive. Mean gift (about $322 versus about $195) carries the 5.4% dollar share above the 3.2% donor share. That is a moderate premium, not a 33-donor Kansas NURSE-style blowout.

What 5.4% of Pharmacist dollars is not

Illinois’s share is a table split. It is not evidence that Illinois caused pharmacist giving, that pharmacists as a class funded a party, or that campaign receipts measure prescription volume. 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.

Illinois has many occupation-state pages in this packet wave. PHARMACIST is the clinical one with 140 unique donors and 3,243 lines. It is not nested under PHYSICIAN or NURSE. Adding those titles would invent a health-care sector the occupation field does not define.

Occupation hub, state hub, other clinical titles

Pharmacist donations carries the $19,178,714 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance carries all IL-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep PHARMACIST separate from other clinical occupation-state pages so $1,044,879 is not treated as a combined health-care sector.

The occupation hub still holds $18,133,835 outside Illinois ($19,178,714 minus $1,044,879). Use Pharmacist donations for that remainder. This page isolates PHARMACIST × IL. It does not measure prescriptions or pharmacy employment.

A mid-share clinical cell among many Illinois joins

Illinois’s Pharmacist cell (140 donors, 3,243 contributions, $1,044,879) is thicker on unique people than several Illinois finance joins in this packet wave and thinner than the national NURSE occupation’s receipt pile. 5.4% of Pharmacist dollars is a mid-share slice, not a concentration headline.

The remaining $18,133,835 sits outside Illinois. Use Pharmacist donations for that remainder. Do not fold PHARMACIST into PHYSICIAN or NURSE on this page.

Questions

How much have Pharmacist donors in Illinois given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Pharmacist and state Illinois total $1,044,879, from 3,243 contributions and 140 donors. Nationwide, Pharmacist-coded receipts are $19,178,714 from 98,326 contributions and 4,409 donors. Illinois is about 5.4% of those dollars.

Does Pharmacist mean licensed Illinois pharmacists?

PHARMACIST is the occupation text as entered on itemized filings. FEC aggregates do not verify licenses. The 140 Illinois donors and 4,409 national donors are people whose records used that title, not a board-of-pharmacy count.

How does Illinois compare with the national Pharmacist average gift?

Illinois’s mean is about $322 per gift ($1,044,879 / 3,243) versus about $195 nationally ($19,178,714 / 98,326). Those figures are means, not medians. Receipt frequency is similar: about 23 gifts per Illinois donor versus about 22 nationally.

Is this money given to Illinois candidates?

Not necessarily. IL is the donor state on the contribution. The $1,044,879 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.
