AUGUSTA, GA

44,687 lines carrying $15,770,202

The headline pair is $15,770,202 and 44,687 lines. The implied average is about $353. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the AUGUSTA book. Richmond County filers typed AUGUSTA with state GA.

AUGUSTA, GA is a Richmond County city field, not Augusta, Maine. State GA is required in the citation. North Augusta sits in South Carolina and is a different key. Atlanta is not this hub. 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 $15,770,202 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Augusta gave. The 44,687 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Augusta together with North Augusta, Martinez, and Augusta, Maine, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $15,770,202 on 44,687 AUGUSTA, GA rows, mean near $353. Keep the stored spelling AUGUSTA in the citation.

Why AUGUSTA on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Augusta give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city AUGUSTA, GA total $15,770,202 across 44,687 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is AUGUSTA with state GA only. Augusta, ME is another FEC city key. North Augusta, SC is a different string.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $15,770,202. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $353 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city AUGUSTA, GA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city AUGUSTA, GA total $15,770,202 across 44,687 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 Augusta. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $353 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Augusta is this $15.8M total?

This extract is AUGUSTA with state GA only. Augusta, ME is another FEC city key. North Augusta, SC is a different string. LobbyVault counts 44,687 itemized contributions for AUGUSTA, GA against $15,770,202. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 44,687 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Augusta total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed AUGUSTA with state GA. Office addresses and mail that list Augusta can be part of $15,770,202 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 44,687-line count follows the same rule.

Are Augusta numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,770,202 and 44,687 lines for AUGUSTA, GA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from GA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
