SCOTTSDALE, AZ
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SCOTTSDALE, AZ sum to $97,390,742 across 304,191 contributions. Scottsdale’s 304,191 contributions are a high-volume Maricopa County city field, not a Phoenix merge. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures
- SCOTTSDALE, AZ FEC itemizations total $97,390,742 across 304,191 contributions.
- The mean line is about $320; 304,191 is a line count, not unique donors.
- City is the contributor-city field on FEC itemizations.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Reading $97,390,742 as a city-string roll-up
The headline pair is $97,390,742 and 304,191 lines. The implied average is about $320. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Scottsdale book.
Maricopa County’s Scottsdale string is separate from Phoenix. Do not fold the two city keys together. Filers typed SCOTTSDALE in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state AZ. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.
Scottsdale versus Phoenix is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Tempe and Paradise Valley follow the same rule. Quote $97,390,742 and 304,191 for SCOTTSDALE, AZ only. The mean near $320 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.
Why SCOTTSDALE on the receipt is not a census of Scottsdale
Searchers often want “how much did people in Scottsdale give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SCOTTSDALE, AZ total $97,390,742 across 304,191 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.
Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $97,390,742. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to Scottsdale, AZ?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SCOTTSDALE, AZ total $97,390,742 across 304,191 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Scottsdale. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to Scottsdale?
- LobbyVault counts 304,191 itemized contributions for SCOTTSDALE, AZ. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 304,191 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $97,390,742.
- Does the Scottsdale total include only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SCOTTSDALE with state AZ. Office addresses and mail that list Scottsdale can be part of $97,390,742 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 304,191-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get Scottsdale totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $97,390,742 and 304,191 lines for SCOTTSDALE, AZ. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from AZ are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $320 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
