The LOUISVILLE, KY contributor-city book

349,376 itemized contributions produced $125,985,924 under the LOUISVILLE, KY city key. About $361 per line follows from division. Repeat givers can lengthen 349,376 without adding new people; this packet has no unique-donor figure.

State KY on the same row keeps LOUISVILLE, KY distinct from same-named cities elsewhere. The Ohio River city is a place label on receipts. Kentucky state-office money is a different disclosure system. 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 Jeffersonville or New Albany still need the city string as filed. A Louisville mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. LOUISVILLE, KY sums to $125,985,924 on 349,376 lines (about $361 each). St. Matthews remains outside that pair.

Volume and average on the Louisville book

Louisville sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $361 from $125,985,924 divided by 349,376. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

The shape is two numbers. $125,985,924 without 349,376 looks like a single pile of money. 349,376 without $125,985,924 looks like a turnout figure. Together they are an itemized city book.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Louisville federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LOUISVILLE, KY total $125,985,924 across 349,376 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 Louisville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How should I read the 349,376 figure for LOUISVILLE, KY?
LobbyVault counts 349,376 itemized contributions for LOUISVILLE, KY. 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 349,376 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $125,985,924.
What city field does FEC use for Louisville?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LOUISVILLE with state KY. Office addresses and mail that list Louisville can be part of $125,985,924 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 349,376-line count follows the same rule.
How current is the $125,985,924 total for Louisville?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $125,985,924 and 349,376 lines for LOUISVILLE, KY. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from KY are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $361 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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