MILTON, MA

34,346 lines carrying $18,116,185

The headline pair is $18,116,185 and 34,346 lines. The implied average is about $527. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the MILTON book. Norfolk County filers typed MILTON with state MA.

MILTON, MA is a Norfolk town string south of Boston. Dorchester rows that list BOSTON sit on another hub. Quincy and Canton are neighboring keys. Milton in other states are other city-and-state pairs. 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 $18,116,185 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of MILTON gave. The 34,346 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints MILTON together with Quincy, Canton, and Dorchester, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $18,116,185 on 34,346 MILTON, MA rows, mean near $527. Keep the stored spelling MILTON in the citation.

Why MILTON on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Milton give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city MILTON, MA total $18,116,185 across 34,346 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. MILTON, MA is the stored Norfolk string. Boston is a different city key. Quincy is a neighboring string when typed.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $18,116,185. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $527 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city MILTON, MA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MILTON, MA total $18,116,185 across 34,346 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 Milton. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $527 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Milton counted as Boston on this extract?

No. MILTON, MA is the stored Norfolk string. Boston is a different city key. Quincy is a neighboring string when typed. LobbyVault counts 34,346 itemized contributions for MILTON, MA against $18,116,185. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 34,346 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Milton total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MILTON with state MA. Office addresses and mail that list Milton can be part of $18,116,185 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 34,346-line count follows the same rule.

Are Milton numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,116,185 and 34,346 lines for MILTON, 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.
