STAMFORD, CT

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city STAMFORD, CT sum to $53,073,548 across 149,593 contributions. Stamford’s book sits near Long Beach in dollars with fewer lines, which lifts the mean. 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

  • Stamford’s federal itemized city book is $53,073,548 across 149,593 contributions.
  • The mean near $355 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

$53,073,548 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 149,593 itemized rows to contributor city STAMFORD, CT. Their sum is $53,073,548. The mean near $355 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Fairfield County’s Stamford is a coastal Connecticut municipality on the tape. Size of the city is not in this packet. The 149,593-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Stamford residents. 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.

Stamford versus Greenwich is a different-key problem, not a Gold Coast ranking. Norwalk and Darien follow the same rule. Quote $53,073,548 and 149,593 for STAMFORD, CT only. The mean near $355 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

How to read the CT city key for Stamford

City-name spelling is part of the key. STAMFORD with state CT is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention a Stamford race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $53,073,548. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Questions

What is Stamford’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city STAMFORD, CT total $53,073,548 across 149,593 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Stamford residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read Stamford’s 149,593 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 149,593 itemized lines for STAMFORD, CT. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $53,073,548.
Does Stamford’s total include Greenwich or Norwalk?
Only if the filer typed STAMFORD. Greenwich, Norwalk, and Darien are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $53,073,548 is the STAMFORD, CT match. The 149,593 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
Where do the Stamford facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $53,073,548 and 149,593 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Connecticut non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $355 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
