The NEW ORLEANS, LA contributor-city book

234,379 itemized contributions produced $96,628,564 under the NEW ORLEANS, LA city key. About $412 per line follows from division. Repeat givers can lengthen 234,379 without adding new people; this packet has no unique-donor figure.

State LA on the same row keeps NEW ORLEANS, LA distinct from same-named cities elsewhere. Orleans Parish orients New Orleans. Louisiana state campaigns sit outside FEC.gov itemizations. 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.

Annexation stories about Metairie, Kenner, or Gretna do not rewrite $96,628,564. FEC city strings do not auto-follow city-limit changes. 234,379 contributions tagged NEW ORLEANS, LA stay on this page until a filer types a different city. About $412 per line is still division.

Volume and average on the New Orleans book

New Orleans sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $412 from $96,628,564 divided by 234,379. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

The shape is two numbers. $96,628,564 without 234,379 looks like a single pile of money. 234,379 without $96,628,564 looks like a turnout figure. Together they are an itemized city book.

Questions

What is the FEC donation total for NEW ORLEANS, LA?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city NEW ORLEANS, LA total $96,628,564 across 234,379 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 New Orleans. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 234,379 a count of New Orleans donors?
LobbyVault counts 234,379 itemized contributions for NEW ORLEANS, LA. 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 234,379 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $96,628,564.
Is NEW ORLEANS, LA a residency total?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed NEW ORLEANS with state LA. Office addresses and mail that list New Orleans can be part of $96,628,564 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 234,379-line count follows the same rule.
What is the source for NEW ORLEANS, LA campaign money figures?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $96,628,564 and 234,379 lines for NEW ORLEANS, LA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from LA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $412 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.
