SILVER SPRING, MD

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SILVER SPRING, MD sum to $66,804,144 across 261,856 contributions. Silver Spring’s line count is a volume book relative to its dollars, unlike Tenafly’s thin file on a nearby total. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Silver Spring’s federal itemized city book is $66,804,144 across 261,856 contributions.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Bethesda and Washington are separate city strings.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

A Montgomery County volume file

Two hundred sixty-one thousand eight hundred fifty-six lines produce $66,804,144. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $255. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Potomac are other Maryland city hubs on this extract. Washington, DC is a separate city string in another jurisdiction. None of those keys sit inside $66,804,144 unless the filer typed SILVER SPRING.

Office addresses can share the Silver Spring city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 261,856 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Silver Spring is not Washington and not Bethesda

Researchers sometimes want a “capital region” sum. FEC.gov stored city and state. Adding Silver Spring to Washington or Bethesda is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep SILVER SPRING, MD as the citation. Recheck $66,804,144 and 261,856 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Silver Spring federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SILVER SPRING, MD total $66,804,144 across 261,856 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Silver Spring residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 261,856 the number of Silver Spring donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 261,856 itemized contribution lines for SILVER SPRING, MD. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $66,804,144. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 261,856 should not be quoted as a Silver Spring population of donors.
Does Silver Spring’s total include Bethesda or Washington, DC?
No. Bethesda is a separate Maryland city hub. Washington is a separate city string in DC. $66,804,144 is the SILVER SPRING, MD match. The 261,856 lines follow the same rule. Regional labels are not an FEC dimension on this page.
How current is Silver Spring’s $66,804,144 figure?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $66,804,144 and 261,856 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Maryland non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $255 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
