SPRINGFIELD, IL

75,614 lines behind SPRINGFIELD's $18.9M

SPRINGFIELD shows 75,614 itemizations behind $18,910,460. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $18.9M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $250.

SPRINGFIELD, IL is the Sangamon capital string. Springfield, Missouri and Springfield, Virginia are other state keys. State IL must stay on the citation so those names are not added together. 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. Read $18,910,460 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of SPRINGFIELD gave. The 75,614 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints SPRINGFIELD together with Rochester, Chatham, and Sherman, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,910,460 on 75,614 SPRINGFIELD, IL rows, mean near $250. Keep the stored spelling SPRINGFIELD in the citation.

Why SPRINGFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Springfield give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SPRINGFIELD, IL total $18,910,460 across 75,614 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is SPRINGFIELD with state IL only. Springfield, MO and Springfield, VA are other FEC city keys.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,910,460. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $250 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city SPRINGFIELD, IL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SPRINGFIELD, IL total $18,910,460 across 75,614 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 a census of people who live in Springfield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $250 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Springfield is this $18.9M total?

This extract is SPRINGFIELD with state IL only. Springfield, MO and Springfield, VA are other FEC city keys. LobbyVault counts 75,614 itemized contributions for SPRINGFIELD, IL against $18,910,460. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 75,614 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Springfield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SPRINGFIELD with state IL. Office addresses and mail that list Springfield can be part of $18,910,460 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 75,614-line count follows the same rule.

Are Springfield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,910,460 and 75,614 lines for SPRINGFIELD, 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.
