NEWTON, MA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city NEWTON, MA sum to $57,119,445 across 142,407 contributions. Newton is a separate city string from Newton Centre. Boston and Brookline keep their own hubs. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Newton’s federal itemized city book is $57,119,445 across 142,407 contributions.
  • Newton Centre is a separate city string, not inside this total.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Newton is not Newton Centre

Divide $57,119,445 by 142,407 and the average itemized line is about $401. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Newton Centre is a different city hub on this extract. Filers who typed NEWTON CENTRE do not land in $57,119,445. Brookline, Weston, Lexington, and Boston are other strings, not inside this total unless the filer typed NEWTON.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Newton can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows into Newton Centre or Boston. The 142,407 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Do not fold Newton into Boston

Boston is a separate city hub. Adding Newton to Boston and calling the sum “Greater Boston” is a recode this packet does not publish. Keep NEWTON, MA as the citation: $57,119,445 and 142,407 lines.

State MA on the key is required. Other states have places named Newton. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Newton’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city NEWTON, MA total $57,119,445 across 142,407 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Newton residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
Is Newton the same hub as Newton Centre?
No. Newton Centre is a separate city string. $57,119,445 counts rows that stored NEWTON, MA. Receipts that stored NEWTON CENTRE sit on that other hub. Adding the two is a recode this packet does not publish. The 142,407 lines follow the Newton label only.
Does Newton’s total include Boston or Brookline?
No, unless the filer typed NEWTON. Boston and Brookline are separate city hubs. $57,119,445 is the NEWTON, MA match. The 142,407 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this page. Boston and Brookline are separate city hubs; Greater Boston is not an FEC dimension on this Newton page.
Where do the Newton facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $57,119,445 and 142,407 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 $401 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.
