RIDGEFIELD, CT

35,089 lines carrying $16,342,801

The headline pair is $16,342,801 and 35,089 lines. The implied average is about $466. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the RIDGEFIELD book. Fairfield County filers typed RIDGEFIELD with state CT.

RIDGEFIELD, CT is a Fairfield County string, not Ridgefield, New Jersey. State CT is required in the citation. Wilton and Danbury are neighboring keys. Greenwich is a different Fairfield city field. 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 $16,342,801 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Ridgefield gave. The 35,089 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Ridgefield together with Danbury, Wilton, and Ridgefield, New Jersey, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,342,801 on 35,089 RIDGEFIELD, CT rows, mean near $466. Keep the stored spelling RIDGEFIELD in the citation.

Why RIDGEFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Ridgefield give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city RIDGEFIELD, CT total $16,342,801 across 35,089 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is RIDGEFIELD with state CT. Ridgefield, NJ is a different FEC city-and-state key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,342,801. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $466 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city RIDGEFIELD, CT?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city RIDGEFIELD, CT total $16,342,801 across 35,089 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 Ridgefield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $466 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is this Ridgefield, New Jersey?

No. This extract is RIDGEFIELD with state CT. Ridgefield, NJ is a different FEC city-and-state key. LobbyVault counts 35,089 itemized contributions for RIDGEFIELD, CT against $16,342,801. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 35,089 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Ridgefield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed RIDGEFIELD with state CT. Office addresses and mail that list Ridgefield can be part of $16,342,801 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 35,089-line count follows the same rule.

Are Ridgefield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,342,801 and 35,089 lines for RIDGEFIELD, 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.
