PHOENIX, AZ

Phoenix, AZ is tagged as the contributor city on $181,090,127 in federal receipts across 555,719 FEC itemizations. The figures come from FEC.gov filings aggregated on LobbyVault. Downtown towers, national committee mail rooms, and household streets can all produce the same city string. The total is an address rollup rather than a headcount of Phoenix residents who donated, and it is not a silent merge of the entire Valley. Those two FEC.gov factsβ€”$181,090,127 and 555,719 itemizationsβ€”are the entire numeric claim this Phoenix guide makes.

Key figures

  • Phoenix, AZ contributor-city receipts total $181,090,127.
  • The aggregate covers 555,719 FEC itemizations.
  • Other Valley city strings are not merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can sit in the city field.
  • ZIP pages cut the same filings by postal code.

What the Phoenix city field sums

The $181,090,127 figure is the sum of itemizations stored as Phoenix, AZ. Five hundred fifty-five thousand seven hundred nineteen contribution records feed that total. LobbyVault does not drop lines that look like headquarters traffic. If the committee reported Phoenix, the dollars remain in this hub. That rule is what lets a reader check the table against the public file.

Scottsdale, Mesa, and other Valley labels are stored separately when committees type them that way. They are not inside the $181,090,127 Phoenix total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Treat the number as federal receipts tagged to this city string. The 555,719 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique Phoenix residents.

Nothing on this page estimates how Phoenix voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Phoenix city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $181,090,127 and 555,719 itemizations.

Itemization volume in the Phoenix file

A count of 555,719 lines means the Phoenix aggregate is a thick stack of receipts rather than a handful of mega-transfers. Many will be ordinary individual contributions. Others will be committee transfers that list a Phoenix address. The FEC city column does not mark which is which. This page keeps the combined file.

Spelling and neighborhood variants can siphon records away from PHOENIX if a committee typed a different city name. The 555,719 figure is the literal match, not a fuzzy Valley search. A research project that wants Maricopa County as a whole must add other city hubs on purpose. This guide does not invent that merge.

Arizona state campaign accounts are not inside $181,090,127. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Phoenix, AZ: 555,719 records. A Valley briefing that blends Scottsdale is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
