MARIETTA, GA

Marietta’s volume relative to its dollars

One hundred fifty-eight thousand one hundred ninety-three lines produce $41,028,369. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $259. Atlanta keeps a separate Georgia hub with a larger dollar book. That contrast is a shape fact, not a character study of Cobb County.

Atlanta, Roswell, and Smyrna are other metro Atlanta city strings. They are not inside $41,028,369 unless the filer typed MARIETTA. Cobb County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Marietta city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 158,193 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not an Atlanta sum

Atlanta, Savannah, and Augusta keep separate Georgia hubs. Adding them to Marietta would be a recode. This packet publishes MARIETTA, GA only: $41,028,369 and 158,193 lines.

State GA on the key is required in the citation so MARIETTA, GA is not merged with Marietta, Ohio. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What is Marietta’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city MARIETTA, GA total $41,028,369 across 158,193 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Marietta residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Marietta’s 158,193 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 158,193 itemized lines for MARIETTA, GA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $41,028,369.

Does Marietta’s total include Atlanta or Smyrna?

Only if the filer typed MARIETTA. Atlanta, Roswell, and Smyrna are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $41,028,369 is the MARIETTA, GA match. The 158,193 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Marietta facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $41,028,369 and 158,193 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Georgia non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $259 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
