FT LAUDERDALE, FL

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city FT LAUDERDALE, FL sum to $23,841,914 across 62,884 contributions. This page keeps the FEC abbreviation FT—not Fort Lauderdale as a spelled-out twin—with a mean near $379 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

  • $23,841,914 and 62,884 lines are the FT LAUDERDALE, FL packet facts.
  • Mean near $379 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Keep the FT spelling; do not assume a Fort Lauderdale merge.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

FT is the stored spelling for $23,841,914

The headline pair is $23,841,914 and 62,884 lines. The implied average is about $379. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the FT LAUDERDALE book.

Broward County filers typed FT LAUDERDALE with state FL. LobbyVault summed those rows. A spelled-out FORT LAUDERDALE row, if it exists, would be a different key. 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 Fort Lauderdale together with Miami and Hollywood, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $23,841,914 on 62,884 FT LAUDERDALE, FL rows, mean near $379. Keep FT in the citation.

Why FT LAUDERDALE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Fort Lauderdale give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FT LAUDERDALE, FL total $23,841,914 across 62,884 contributions. Dropping the FT spelling can send a reader to a different key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $23,841,914. 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 FT LAUDERDALE, FL?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FT LAUDERDALE, FL total $23,841,914 across 62,884 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows using the FT abbreviation, not a unique-donor count. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is FT LAUDERDALE the same as Fort Lauderdale on FEC reports?
This extract is the stored string FT LAUDERDALE with state FL: 62,884 lines and $23,841,914. A spelled-out FORT LAUDERDALE row, if FEC stored it, would be a different city key. Do not assume the two spellings are merged. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 62,884 should not be quoted as a population.
Does the FT LAUDERDALE total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FT LAUDERDALE with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list that spelling can be part of $23,841,914 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 62,884-line count follows the same rule.
Are FT LAUDERDALE numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $23,841,914 and 62,884 lines for FT LAUDERDALE, 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 $379 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.
