DENVER, CO

Denver, CO is tagged as the contributor city on $238,927,176 in federal receipts across 599,360 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 Denver residents who donated. Those two FEC.gov factsβ€”$238,927,176 and 599,360 itemizationsβ€”are the entire numeric claim this Denver guide makes.

Key figures

  • Denver, CO contributor-city receipts total $238,927,176.
  • The aggregate covers 599,360 FEC itemizations.
  • Other Front Range 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 Denver city field sums

The $238,927,176 figure is the sum of itemizations stored as Denver, CO. Five hundred ninety-nine thousand three hundred sixty contribution records feed that total. LobbyVault does not drop lines that look like headquarters traffic. If the committee reported Denver, the dollars remain in this hub. That rule is what lets a reader check the table against the public file.

Boulder, Aurora, and other Front Range labels are stored separately when committees type them that way. They are not inside the $238,927,176 Denver total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Treat the number as federal receipts tagged to this city string. The 599,360 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique Denverites.

Nothing on this page estimates how Denver 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 Denver city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $238,927,176 and 599,360 itemizations.

Itemization volume in the Denver file

A count of 599,360 lines means the Denver 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 Denver 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 DENVER if a committee typed a different city name. The 599,360 figure is the literal match, not a fuzzy Front Range search. A research project that wants the combined statistical area must add other city hubs on purpose. This guide does not invent that merge.

Colorado state campaign accounts are not inside $238,927,176. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Denver, CO: 599,360 records. A Front Range briefing that blends Boulder is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
