CLEARWATER, FL
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city CLEARWATER, FL sum to $26,351,549 across 53,029 contributions. Clearwater’s book is a Pinellas County city string with a mean near $497 from those two packet facts. 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
- $26,351,549 and 53,029 lines are the CLEARWATER, FL packet facts.
- Mean near $497 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
- Tampa and St. Petersburg are other city strings.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
Reading $26,351,549 as a city-string roll-up
The headline pair is $26,351,549 and 53,029 lines. The implied average is about $497. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Clearwater book.
Pinellas County’s Clearwater string is separate from Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Largo on the FEC city key. Filers typed CLEARWATER in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state FL. 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.
If a newsroom map paints Clearwater together with Tampa and St. Petersburg, the FEC file still splits them. Largo too. This extract’s only city total is $26,351,549 on 53,029 CLEARWATER, FL rows, mean near $497.
Why CLEARWATER on the receipt is not a census of Clearwater
Searchers often want “how much did people in Clearwater give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city CLEARWATER, FL total $26,351,549 across 53,029 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.
Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $26,351,549. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions
- How much is itemized from contributor city Clearwater, FL?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CLEARWATER, FL total $26,351,549 across 53,029 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 Clearwater. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- What does the Clearwater contribution count mean?
- LobbyVault counts 53,029 itemized contributions for CLEARWATER, FL. 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 53,029 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $26,351,549.
- Does the Clearwater total include only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CLEARWATER with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Clearwater can be part of $26,351,549 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 53,029-line count follows the same rule.
- Are Clearwater numbers from FEC.gov?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,351,549 and 53,029 lines for CLEARWATER, FL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from FL are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $497 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.
