Pharmacist political contributions from New Jersey

The Pharmacist–New Jersey intersection

Occupation PHARMACIST and donor state NJ produce $857,841, 4,650 contributions, and 222 donors. The occupation hub is $19,178,714, 98,326 contributions, and 4,409 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 4.5%; contribution share about 4.7% (4,650 of 98,326); donor share about 5.0% (222 of 4,409). Two hundred twenty-two New Jersey donors sit inside 4,409 national PHARMACIST donors. Dollar share of $19,178,714 and donor share track a mid-size professional cell rather than a handful of large checks.

PHARMACY, PHARM D, and PHARMACY OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack PHARMACIST with PHARMACY or PHARM D into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

222 New Jersey donors produced 4,650 contributions, about 20.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22.3 rows per donor nationally (98,326 contributions from 4,409 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New Jersey cell is about $184, against about $195 nationwide. New Jersey’s $857,841 is an address-coded slice. It is not a count of CVS, Walgreens, or independent stores, and it is not a Medicaid dispensing total.

PHARMACIST as a license-style occupation string

PHARMACIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a New Jersey or any other state pharmacy license, a NABP number, or a practice setting. The $19,178,714 national total is PHARMACIST only. 4,409 donors produced 98,326 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 98,326 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New Jersey (NJ). This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NJ. It does not split retail, hospital, or industry roles.

New Jersey as donor state

222 New Jersey donors produced 4,650 contributions totaling $857,841. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey pharmacy license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $857,841.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only PHARMACIST. The Pharmacist occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 95.5% of the $19,178,714. New Jersey’s state hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. PHARMACIST is only this filter.

What not to infer from Pharmacist plus New Jersey

This page does not count licensed pharmacists, rank chains, or claim that Pharmacist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PHARMACIST is not PHARMACY OWNER even when one person used both titles on different forms.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PHARMACIST is not a Board of Pharmacy extract. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Store counts and NPI numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Pharmacist filter

Subtract the New Jersey dollars on this page from the national PHARMACIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PHARMACIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($18,320,873) 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 222 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 4,650 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $857,841 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the PHARMACIST national total, drops a key. Two hundred twenty-two donors producing 4,650 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $857,841 headline.

Pharmacist donations holds the $19,178,714 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. MD as an occupation string is a different New Jersey tie in this slice.
