CHEVY CHASE, MD

What $94,884,425 on the Chevy Chase city field covers

$94,884,425 divided by 213,521 is about $444 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $94,884,425 and 213,521.

Montgomery County’s Chevy Chase string is not Bethesda. Neighboring Maryland keys stay separate. 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.

A Chevy Chase total of $94,884,425 does not absorb Bethesda, Potomac, or Silver Spring. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State MD stays on the citation so CHEVY CHASE, MD is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. The 213,521 lines and the mean near $444 describe this key only.

Chevy Chase is a contributor city, not a residency audit

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Chevy Chase against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed CHEVY CHASE can sit inside $94,884,425.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $94,884,425 and 213,521. If the live Chevy Chase hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Chevy Chase, MD?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CHEVY CHASE, MD total $94,884,425 across 213,521 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 Chevy Chase. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to Chevy Chase?

LobbyVault counts 213,521 itemized contributions for CHEVY CHASE, MD. 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 213,521 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $94,884,425.

Does the Chevy Chase total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CHEVY CHASE with state MD. Office addresses and mail that list Chevy Chase can be part of $94,884,425 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 213,521-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get Chevy Chase totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $94,884,425 and 213,521 lines for CHEVY CHASE, MD. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MD are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $444 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
