GAINESVILLE, FL

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city GAINESVILLE, FL sum to $18.3M across 98,353 contributions. Gainesville is an Alachua volume book in Alachua County in north-central Florida: 98,353 lines against $18.3M produces a mean near $186 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

  • $18,290,739 and 98,353 lines are the GAINESVILLE, FL packet facts.
  • Mean near $186 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Gainesville is not Orlando on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

98,353 lines behind GAINESVILLE's $18.3M

GAINESVILLE shows 98,353 itemizations behind $18,290,739. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $18.3M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $186.

GAINESVILLE, FL is an Alachua volume field, not Gainesville, Georgia. State FL is required. Ocala is a neighboring Marion string. Orlando rows do not sit inside this total. 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 $18,290,739 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of GAINESVILLE gave. The 98,353 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints GAINESVILLE together with Alachua, Newberry, and Ocala, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,290,739 on 98,353 GAINESVILLE, FL rows, mean near $186. Keep the stored spelling GAINESVILLE in the citation.

Why GAINESVILLE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Gainesville give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city GAINESVILLE, FL total $18,290,739 across 98,353 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is GAINESVILLE with state FL only. Gainesville, GA is a different FEC city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,290,739. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $186 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city GAINESVILLE, FL?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city GAINESVILLE, FL total $18,290,739 across 98,353 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 Gainesville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $186 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Which Gainesville is this $18.3M total?
This extract is GAINESVILLE with state FL only. Gainesville, GA is a different FEC city key. LobbyVault counts 98,353 itemized contributions for GAINESVILLE, FL against $18,290,739. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 98,353 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Gainesville total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed GAINESVILLE with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Gainesville can be part of $18,290,739 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 98,353-line count follows the same rule.
Are Gainesville numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,290,739 and 98,353 lines for GAINESVILLE, 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.

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