LINCOLN, MA

45,129 lines carrying $18,465,610

The headline pair is $18,465,610 and 45,129 lines. The implied average is about $409. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the LINCOLN book. Middlesex County filers typed LINCOLN with state MA.

LINCOLN, MA is a Middlesex town string, not Lincoln, Nebraska. State MA must stay on the citation. Concord and Lexington are neighboring keys. Boston rows sit under BOSTON. 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. Read $18,465,610 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of LINCOLN gave. The 45,129 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints LINCOLN together with Concord, Lexington, and Weston, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,465,610 on 45,129 LINCOLN, MA rows, mean near $409. Keep the stored spelling LINCOLN in the citation.

Why LINCOLN on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Lincoln give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city LINCOLN, MA total $18,465,610 across 45,129 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is LINCOLN with state MA only. Lincoln, NE is a different FEC city key. Concord is a neighboring string, not a subset.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,465,610. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $409 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city LINCOLN, MA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LINCOLN, MA total $18,465,610 across 45,129 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 Lincoln. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $409 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Lincoln is this $18.5M total?

This extract is LINCOLN with state MA only. Lincoln, NE is a different FEC city key. Concord is a neighboring string, not a subset. LobbyVault counts 45,129 itemized contributions for LINCOLN, MA against $18,465,610. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 45,129 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Lincoln total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LINCOLN with state MA. Office addresses and mail that list Lincoln can be part of $18,465,610 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 45,129-line count follows the same rule.

Are Lincoln numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,465,610 and 45,129 lines for LINCOLN, MA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
