Registered Nurse political contributions from Pennsylvania

Registered Nurse and Pennsylvania on the same receipt

The join retains FEC itemized individual rows where occupation is REGISTERED NURSE and donor state is PA. The retained set is $759,833, 5,060 contributions, and 133 donors. Dropping the state filter leaves $13,695,700, 178,190 contributions, and 3,513 donors. Pennsylvania holds about 5.6% of Registered Nurse-coded dollars, about 2.8% of Registered Nurse-coded contribution rows, and about 3.8% of Registered Nurse-coded donors.

Dollar share (about 5.6%) runs ahead of row share (about 2.8%). Pennsylvania’s Registered Nurse slice is therefore a thicker dollar cut than its share of the national contribution-line volume. That arithmetic is the reason to publish the pair instead of restating the occupation hub or the state hub.

One hundred thirty-three Pennsylvania donors and 5,060 contribution rows produced $759,833 under REGISTERED NURSE. The occupation side is $13,695,700, 178,190 contributions, and 3,513 donors. About 2.8% of a 178,190-row occupation is a small line share next to a 5.6% dollar share. Pennsylvania’s Registered Nurse slice is therefore not the small-gift factory that the national row count might suggest; more of those 178,190 lines sit in other states. The 5,060 Pennsylvania rows are still itemized individual receipts only.

REGISTERED NURSE versus RN and Nurse

Filers choose the string. REGISTERED NURSE is not automatically rolled up with RN, NURSE, or RN REGISTERED NURSE. A Washington RN join, if present, uses a different occupation label and different totals. Combining those pages would invent a nursing super-total that the FEC occupation field does not contain.

The national Registered Nurse bucket—$13,695,700, 178,190 contributions, 3,513 donors—is a high-volume label, similar in shape to RN but not the same rows. This page only asks how much of this exact string is also coded Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania’s 133-donor slice

One hundred thirty-three Pennsylvania donors produced 5,060 contributions totaling $759,833. Other Pennsylvania occupations are outside this join. Registered Nurse receipts from other states fill the space between $759,833 and $13,695,700.

PA is the contributor state on the record. It does not confirm a Pennsylvania nursing license, a hospital employer, or a gift to a Pennsylvania federal candidate. Recipient committees can file in any state.

High national row counts, a smaller state row share

Nationally, 3,513 donors produced 178,190 Registered Nurse-coded contributions. Pennsylvania’s 5,060 rows are about 2.8% of that line volume even though the state’s dollar share is about 5.6%. The join therefore does not look like a small-gift factory inside Pennsylvania; more of the national micro-itemized volume sits in other states.

None of that is a quality judgment about Pennsylvania nurses or about other states. It is how two columns overlap in the current aggregate.

A high-volume clinical string, a thicker Pennsylvania dollar cut

Registered Nurse nationwide is $13,695,700 from 3,513 donors and 178,190 contributions. Pennsylvania’s join is $759,833 from 133 donors and 5,060 contributions—about 5.6% of dollars, about 3.8% of donors, and about 2.8% of rows. Dollar share leads line share. More of the national micro-itemized volume sits outside Pennsylvania.

RN is a different occupation string. A Washington RN join uses that abbreviation and a different national total that is not in this packet. Combining RN and REGISTERED NURSE invents a nursing super-total. NURSE, if filed, is yet another bucket.

Pilot and Venture Capital also use Pennsylvania. They are not this occupation. Itemized individual receipts only. See Registered Nurse donations, Pennsylvania campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Caveats on the nursing-label join

This page does not say Pennsylvania health policy is funded by registered nurses, and it does not rank states by clinical giving. Occupation and state are self-reported. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized contributions and independent expenditures are excluded. See Registered Nurse donations, Pennsylvania campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the separate dimensions.

Questions

How much have Registered Nurse donors in Pennsylvania given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Registered Nurse and state Pennsylvania total $759,833. That join includes 5,060 contributions and 133 donors. Nationwide, Registered Nurse-coded receipts are $13,695,700 from 3,513 donors and 178,190 contributions. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Is Registered Nurse the same FEC bucket as RN?

No. This join uses REGISTERED NURSE. RN is a separate occupation string with its own national and state aggregates. Pennsylvania’s Registered Nurse slice is $759,833 from 133 donors and 5,060 contributions. Adding RN would mix labels filers kept distinct.

Does Pennsylvania as donor state mean Pennsylvania campaigns?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Pennsylvania on the contribution record. Recipients can be committees anywhere that file with the FEC. This page does not allocate the $759,833 by office Donor state is the address on the itemized individual record, not a map of Pennsylvania races. This join is $759,833 from 133 donors and 5,060 contributions against $13,695,700 nationwide. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system.

Why is Pennsylvania’s dollar share higher than its contribution share?

Pennsylvania holds about 5.6% of Registered Nurse dollars ($759,833 of $13,695,700) and about 2.8% of contribution rows (5,060 of 178,190). More of the national row volume sits outside Pennsylvania. The page does not name donors or split rows by committee.
