BIRMINGHAM, MI

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city BIRMINGHAM, MI sum to $32,999,692 across 74,097 contributions. Birmingham, Michigan, is an Oakland County city string. It is not Birmingham, Alabama. State MI on the key is required in every citation. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Birmingham, Michigan’s federal itemized city book is $32,999,692 across 74,097 contributions.
  • State MI is required so the citation does not collide with Alabama.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Michigan, not Alabama

Seventy-four thousand ninety-seven lines produce $32,999,692. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $445. Bloomfield Hills is a neighboring Michigan city string with its own hub. Troy, Royal Oak, and Bloomfield are other Oakland County labels. They are not inside $32,999,692 unless the filer typed BIRMINGHAM.

Oakland County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $32,999,692 is the BIRMINGHAM, MI match only. Dropping MI from the citation collides with another state’s city.

Not Detroit and not a Metro Detroit recode

Detroit keeps a separate Michigan hub. Recoding Birmingham into a Metro Detroit sum would mix keys. This packet publishes BIRMINGHAM, MI only: $32,999,692 and 74,097 lines.

Office addresses can share the city field with household streets. A PAC or joint-fundraising address counts when that is what the filer typed. The 74,097 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Birmingham, Michigan federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BIRMINGHAM, MI total $32,999,692 across 74,097 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Birmingham residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is this Birmingham, Alabama?
No. This packet’s key is BIRMINGHAM plus MI: $32,999,692 across 74,097 lines. Alabama’s Birmingham is a different city string when filers typed AL. LobbyVault does not merge same-name cities across states. Repeat gifts can add rows. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure.
Does Birmingham’s total include Detroit or Bloomfield Hills?
No, unless the filer typed BIRMINGHAM. Detroit and Bloomfield Hills are separate Michigan city hubs. $32,999,692 is the BIRMINGHAM, MI match. The 74,097 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
How current is Birmingham’s $32,999,692 figure?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $32,999,692 and 74,097 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Michigan non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

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