HARTFORD, CT

63,507 lines carrying $19,172,837

The headline pair is $19,172,837 and 63,507 lines. The implied average is about $302. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the HARTFORD book. Hartford County filers typed HARTFORD with state CT.

Hartford is the capital-city string as typed. West Hartford and East Hartford are different stored names. New Haven is a separate south-central key, not a merge with HARTFORD, CT. 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. Read $19,172,837 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of HARTFORD gave. The 63,507 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints HARTFORD together with West Hartford, East Hartford, and Wethersfield, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $19,172,837 on 63,507 HARTFORD, CT rows, mean near $302. Keep the stored spelling HARTFORD in the citation.

Why HARTFORD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Hartford give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city HARTFORD, CT total $19,172,837 across 63,507 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Not when filers typed WEST HARTFORD. That is a different city string. This extract is HARTFORD, CT only.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $19,172,837. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $302 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city HARTFORD, CT?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city HARTFORD, CT total $19,172,837 across 63,507 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 Hartford. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $302 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Does Hartford’s total include West Hartford?

Not when filers typed WEST HARTFORD. That is a different city string. This extract is HARTFORD, CT only. LobbyVault counts 63,507 itemized contributions for HARTFORD, CT against $19,172,837. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 63,507 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Hartford total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed HARTFORD with state CT. Office addresses and mail that list Hartford can be part of $19,172,837 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 63,507-line count follows the same rule.

Are Hartford numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $19,172,837 and 63,507 lines for HARTFORD, CT. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from CT are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
