BARRINGTON, IL

Reading $23,229,659 as a city-string roll-up

The headline pair is $23,229,659 and 47,498 lines. The implied average is about $489. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Barrington book.

Lake and Cook counties share Barrington-area streets on the map. The FEC key is still BARRINGTON with state IL. Filers typed BARRINGTON in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state IL. 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.

If a newsroom map paints Barrington together with Palatine and Inverness, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $23,229,659 on 47,498 BARRINGTON, IL rows, mean near $489. Barrington Hills, if stored as its own string, is not this page.

Why BARRINGTON, IL on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Barrington give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city BARRINGTON, IL total $23,229,659 across 47,498 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $23,229,659. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. State IL is what keeps this page off Barrington, RI.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Barrington, IL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BARRINGTON, IL total $23,229,659 across 47,498 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 Barrington, Rhode Island. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is this Barrington, Illinois or Barrington, Rhode Island?

This extract is BARRINGTON with state IL: 47,498 lines and $23,229,659. Barrington, RI, would be a different city key. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 47,498 should not be quoted as a population.

Does the Barrington total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed BARRINGTON with state IL. Office addresses and mail that list Barrington can be part of $23,229,659 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 47,498-line count follows the same rule.

Are Barrington numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $23,229,659 and 47,498 lines for BARRINGTON, IL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from IL are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $489 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
