BATON ROUGE, LA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city BATON ROUGE, LA sum to $73,570,268 across 158,797 contributions. Baton Rouge is Louisiana’s capital city string; it is not New Orleans and not a statewide book. The table is a contributor-city aggregate from FEC.gov, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Baton Rouge’s federal itemized city book is $73,570,268 across 158,797 contributions.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • New Orleans is a separate city string, not inside this total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Capital city string, federal receipts

Divide $73,570,268 by 158,797 and the average itemized line is about $463. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no distribution, so $463 is not a typical Baton Rouge household gift.

New Orleans is a separate city hub. Lafayette, Metairie, and Shreveport are other Louisiana strings. They are not inside $73,570,268 unless the filer typed BATON ROUGE. East Baton Rouge Parish is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

A state-capital office address can share the city field with household streets, including a PAC or joint-fundraising listing. LobbyVault does not split those rows. The 158,797 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Baton Rouge is not Louisiana

State LA on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $73,570,268 into a statewide total. Other Louisiana cities keep their own hubs.

Keep BATON ROUGE, LA as the citation. Recheck $73,570,268 and 158,797 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Baton Rouge federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BATON ROUGE, LA total $73,570,268 across 158,797 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Baton Rouge residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 158,797 the number of Baton Rouge donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 158,797 itemized contribution lines for BATON ROUGE, LA. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $73,570,268. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 158,797 should not be quoted as a Baton Rouge population of donors.
Does Baton Rouge’s total include New Orleans?
No. New Orleans is a separate city hub. $73,570,268 is the BATON ROUGE, LA match alone. The 158,797 lines follow the same rule. Parish and statewide labels are not FEC dimensions on this page. Parish and statewide labels are not FEC dimensions on this Baton Rouge hub.
How current is the $73,570,268 Baton Rouge total?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $73,570,268 and 158,797 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Louisiana non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $463 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.
