MIAMI, FL

Miami, FL is tagged as the contributor city on $328,965,856 in federal receipts across 561,374 FEC itemizations. The figures come from FEC.gov filings aggregated on LobbyVault. Brickell towers, national committee mail rooms, and household streets can all produce the same city string. The total is an address rollup rather than a headcount of Miami residents who donated. Those two FEC.gov factsβ€”$328,965,856 and 561,374 itemizationsβ€”are the entire numeric claim this Miami guide makes.

Key figures

  • Miami, FL contributor-city receipts total $328,965,856.
  • The aggregate covers 561,374 FEC itemizations.
  • Other South Florida city strings are not merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can sit in the city field.
  • ZIP pages cut the same filings by postal code.

What the Miami city field sums

The $328,965,856 figure is the sum of itemizations stored as Miami, FL. Five hundred sixty-one thousand three hundred seventy-four contribution records feed that total. LobbyVault does not drop lines that look like headquarters traffic. If the committee reported Miami, the dollars remain in this hub. That rule is what lets a reader check the table against the public file.

Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and other municipal labels are stored separately when committees type them that way. They are not inside the $328,965,856 Miami total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Treat the number as federal receipts tagged to this city string. The 561,374 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique Miamians.

Nothing on this page estimates how Miami voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Miami city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $328,965,856 and 561,374 itemizations.

Itemization volume in the Miami file

A count of 561,374 lines means the Miami aggregate is a thick stack of receipts rather than a handful of mega-transfers. Many will be ordinary individual contributions. Others will be committee transfers that list a Miami address. The FEC city column does not mark which is which. This page keeps the combined file.

Spelling and neighborhood variants can siphon records away from MIAMI if a committee typed a different city name. The 561,374 figure is the literal match, not a fuzzy South Florida search. A research project that wants Miami-Dade as a whole must add other city hubs on purpose. This guide does not invent that merge.

Florida state campaign accounts are not inside $328,965,856. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Miami, FL: 561,374 records. A Miami-Dade briefing that blends Miami Beach is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
