Key figures

  • Wilmette’s federal itemized city book is $35,342,713 across 91,603 contributions.

  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.

Wilmette’s North Shore volume

Ninety-one thousand six hundred three lines produce $35,342,713. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $386. Glencoe, Illinois, is a separate hub on this extract: $33,054,357 across 51,484 lines. Wilmette has more receipts. Those are two city keys. Do not add them.

Evanston, Winnetka, and Kenilworth are other North Shore city strings. They are not inside $35,342,713 unless the filer typed Wilmette. Cook County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. The packet stores the city as Wilmette, mixed case, plus IL.

Not Chicago and not a lakeshore recode

Chicago keeps a separate Illinois hub. Recoding Wilmette into a North Shore sum would mix keys. This packet publishes Wilmette, IL only: $35,342,713 and 91,603 lines.

A committee address can share the city field. A PAC or joint-fundraising row counts if the filer typed Wilmette. The 91,603 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Wilmette’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city Wilmette, IL total $35,342,713 across 91,603 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Wilmette residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read Wilmette’s 91,603 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 91,603 itemized lines for Wilmette, IL. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $35,342,713.
Does Wilmette’s total include Chicago or Glencoe?
Only if the filer typed Wilmette. Chicago and Glencoe are separate Illinois city hubs. $35,342,713 is the Wilmette, IL match. The 91,603 lines follow the same rule. North Shore and county labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
Where do the Wilmette facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $35,342,713 and 91,603 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Illinois non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
