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.
