MESA, AZ

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city MESA, AZ sum to $29,593,257 across 109,841 contributions. Mesa’s pair is a high-volume East Valley city string, which pulls the mean toward two hundred sixty-nine. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Mesa’s federal itemized city book is $29,593,257 across 109,841 contributions.
  • The mean near $269 reflects a large line count on this extract.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Mesa’s volume relative to its dollars

One hundred nine thousand eight hundred forty-one lines produce $29,593,257. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $269. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a ranking of Maricopa County giving. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale keep separate Arizona hubs. They are not inside $29,593,257 unless the filer typed MESA. Maricopa County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

East Valley city, not Phoenix

Phoenix keeps a separate hub. Adding it to Mesa would be a recode. This packet publishes MESA, AZ only: $29,593,257 and 109,841 lines.

State AZ on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What is Mesa’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city MESA, AZ total $29,593,257 across 109,841 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Mesa residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read Mesa’s 109,841 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 109,841 itemized lines for MESA, AZ. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $29,593,257. The mean near $269 follows from division.
Does Mesa’s total include Phoenix or Tempe?
Only if the filer typed MESA. Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $29,593,257 is the MESA, AZ match. The 109,841 lines follow the same rule. East Valley is not an FEC dimension on this hub.
Where do the Mesa facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $29,593,257 and 109,841 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Arizona non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $269 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
