MACON, GA

60,841 lines behind MACON's $16.3M

MACON shows 60,841 itemizations behind $16,290,283. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $16.3M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. The implied mean is about $268.

Macon is a central-Georgia Bibb County string. Atlanta is a different Fulton/DeKalb key. Warner Robins is a neighboring string. Consolidated Macon-Bibb labels are not this FEC city field unless the filer typed MACON. 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 $16,290,283 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Macon gave. The 60,841 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Macon together with Warner Robins, Macon-Bibb, and Atlanta, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $16,290,283 on 60,841 MACON, GA rows, mean near $268. Keep the stored spelling MACON in the citation.

Why MACON on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Macon give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city MACON, GA total $16,290,283 across 60,841 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. MACON, GA is the stored Bibb County string. Atlanta is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $16,290,283. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $268 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city MACON, GA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MACON, GA total $16,290,283 across 60,841 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 Macon. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $268 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Macon folded into Atlanta on this extract?

No. MACON, GA is the stored Bibb County string. Atlanta is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 60,841 itemized contributions for MACON, GA against $16,290,283. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 60,841 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Macon total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MACON with state GA. Office addresses and mail that list Macon can be part of $16,290,283 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 60,841-line count follows the same rule.

Are Macon numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,290,283 and 60,841 lines for MACON, 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.
