BOISE, ID
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city BOISE, ID sum to $32,781,693 across 146,425 contributions. Boise’s pair is a high-volume capital-city string: the line count is large relative to the dollar book, which pulls the mean toward two hundred. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures
- Boise’s federal itemized city book is $32,781,693 across 146,425 contributions.
- The mean near $224 reflects a large line count on this extract.
- Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Boise’s volume relative to its dollars
One hundred forty-six thousand four hundred twenty-five lines produce $32,781,693. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $224. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a ranking of Treasure Valley giving. FEC.gov does not publish a median or a unique-donor count on this city aggregate.
Meridian, Nampa, and Eagle are other Ada and Canyon County city strings. They are not inside $32,781,693 unless the filer typed BOISE. Ada County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.
Capital city string, not a statewide sum
Idaho Falls, Coeur d’Alene, and Pocatello keep separate Idaho hubs. Adding them to Boise would be a recode. This packet publishes BOISE, ID only: $32,781,693 and 146,425 lines.
State ID on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions
- What is Boise’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BOISE, ID total $32,781,693 across 146,425 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Boise residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- Why is Boise’s line count so large relative to the dollars?
- LobbyVault counts 146,425 itemized lines for $32,781,693. The arithmetic mean is about $224. That shape is a high-volume city string, not a statement about Idaho politics. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure.
- Does Boise’s total include Meridian or Nampa?
- Only if the filer typed BOISE. Meridian, Nampa, and Eagle are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $32,781,693 is the BOISE, ID match. The 146,425 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
- Where do the Boise facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,781,693 and 146,425 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Idaho non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $224 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
