What does LobbyVault show for Wichita federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city Wichita, KS total $115,332,696 across 210,063 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 Wichita. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 210,063 figure for Wichita, KS?

LobbyVault counts 210,063 itemized contributions for Wichita, KS. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 210,063 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $115,332,696.

What city field does FEC use for Wichita?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed Wichita with state KS. Office addresses and mail that list Wichita can be part of $115,332,696 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 210,063-line count follows the same rule.

How current is the $115,332,696 total for Wichita?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $115,332,696 and 210,063 lines for Wichita, KS. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from KS are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $549 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How FEC.gov stored Wichita as a city

Wichita’s city-field extract shows $115,332,696 across 210,063 contributions. Treat $549 as a derived average. It is not an FEC-published statistic with its own schedule.

Cite $115,332,696 only as itemized federal receipts tagged Wichita, KS. South-central Kansas orients Wichita on a map. FEC.gov did not publish a Kansas-ideology reading of the city field. 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.

Readers who live near Derby or Andover still need the city string as filed. A Wichita mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. Wichita, KS sums to $115,332,696 on 210,063 lines (about $549 each). Park City remains outside that pair.

Neighboring labels that are not Wichita

Neighboring municipalities are not included unless filers typed Wichita, KS. Suburb names, county names, and metro nicknames are different keys when they appear as the city field.

Cite the city field, the dollar total, and the line count together. Two of the three is an incomplete citation of Wichita, KS.
