ATLANTA, GA

Atlanta, GA is the contributor city on $381,643,337 in federal receipts across 915,916 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault groups those lines from FEC.gov by the city and state stored on each record. Downtown towers, national committee mail rooms, and household streets can share that city string. The total is tagged activity, not a headcount of Atlantans who donated. Those two FEC.gov facts—$381,643,337 and 915,916 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Atlanta guide makes.

Key figures

  • Atlanta, GA contributor-city receipts total $381,643,337.
  • Those dollars sit on 915,916 FEC itemizations.
  • Suburb city strings are stored separately and are not merged here.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

A high itemization count under $382 million

Atlanta shows 915,916 itemizations behind $381,643,337. The line count is large relative to the dollar total, which usually means many separate receipts—including smaller individual contributions—rather than a short stack of oversized transfers. LobbyVault still adds every line whose city field is Atlanta and whose state is GA. If the committee typed that pair, the receipt stays in this bucket.

Nearby municipalities that residents treat as part of metro Atlanta are stored as their own city strings when committees type them that way. They are not inside this hub. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $381,643,337 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Atlanta residents gave. The 915,916 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Atlanta 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 Atlanta city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $381,643,337 and 915,916 itemizations.

How FEC city text splits the Atlanta metro

Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record. A suburb that locals describe as Atlanta may never appear here because there is no metro merge. This hub holds only the 915,916 lines labeled ATLANTA. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about civic identity.

Keeping both facts in view—$381,643,337 and 915,916 contributions—shows whether the city string is driven by many modest lines or by a few large ones. This page keeps both so the public file can be checked without a second filter that FEC.gov does not put on the city column.

Georgia state campaign accounts are not inside $381,643,337. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Atlanta, GA: 915,916 records. A metro briefing that blends suburban cities is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
