Key figures
- Brookline’s federal itemized city book is $64,389,320 across 157,457 contributions.
- Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
- Boston is a separate city string, not inside this total.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Brookline beside Boston, not inside Boston
Divide $64,389,320 by 157,457 and the average itemized line is about $409. Wayland, on nearby dollars, carries 44,737 lines. Brookline is the thicker of those two Massachusetts books.
Boston, Newton, Cambridge, and Newton Centre are other city strings. They are not inside $64,389,320 unless the filer typed BROOKLINE. Norfolk County is orientation, not an FEC dimension.
A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Brookline can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into Boston. The 157,457 lines are receipts, not unique persons.
Do not treat Brookline as a Boston subtotal
Boston is a separate city hub. Adding Brookline to Boston and calling the sum “Greater Boston” is a recode this packet does not publish.
Keep BROOKLINE, MA as the citation. Recheck $64,389,320 and 157,457 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions
- What is Brookline’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BROOKLINE, MA total $64,389,320 across 157,457 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Brookline residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- How should I read Brookline’s 157,457 contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 157,457 itemized lines for BROOKLINE, MA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $64,389,320. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 157,457 should not be quoted as a Brookline population of donors.
- Does Brookline’s total include Boston or Newton?
- No, unless the filer typed BROOKLINE. Boston and Newton are separate city hubs. $64,389,320 is the BROOKLINE, MA match. The 157,457 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this page. Greater Boston is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this Brookline hub.
- Where do the Brookline facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $64,389,320 and 157,457 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Massachusetts non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $409 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
