Key figures

Capital city string, federal receipts
Divide $56,663,095 by 164,668 and the average itemized line is about $344. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median. $344 is not a typical Des Moines household gift.
West Des Moines, Ames, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City are other Iowa city strings. They are not inside $56,663,095 unless the filer typed DES MOINES. Polk County is orientation, not an FEC dimension.
A state-capital office address can share the city field with household streets, including a PAC or joint-fundraising listing. LobbyVault does not split those rows. The 164,668 lines are receipts, not unique persons.
Des Moines is not Iowa
State IA on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $56,663,095 into a statewide total. Other Iowa cities keep their own hubs.
Keep DES MOINES, IA as the citation. Recheck $56,663,095 and 164,668 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions
- What does LobbyVault show for Des Moines federal contributions?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city DES MOINES, IA total $56,663,095 across 164,668 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Des Moines residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- Is 164,668 the number of Des Moines donors?
- No. LobbyVault counts 164,668 itemized contribution lines for DES MOINES, IA. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $56,663,095. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 164,668 should not be quoted as a Des Moines population of donors.
- Does Des Moines’s total include West Des Moines or all of Iowa?
- No. West Des Moines is a separate city string when filers typed that name. $56,663,095 is the DES MOINES, IA match. The 164,668 lines follow the same rule. Statewide labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. West Des Moines is a separate city string; statewide labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
- How current is Des Moines’s $56,663,095 figure?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $56,663,095 and 164,668 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Iowa non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $344 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
