KALAMAZOO, MI

Kalamazoo’s mid-volume Michigan book

Eighty-one thousand five hundred thirty-two lines produce $37,505,162. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $460. Portage and Battle Creek are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $37,505,162 unless the filer typed KALAMAZOO.

Detroit and Ann Arbor keep separate Michigan hubs. Kalamazoo County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $37,505,162 is the KALAMAZOO match only.

Not Grand Rapids and not a campus roll-up

FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Kalamazoo into a campus map would be a different product. This page does not recode. It publishes KALAMAZOO, MI: $37,505,162 and 81,532 lines.

Office addresses can share the city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 81,532 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Kalamazoo’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city KALAMAZOO, MI total $37,505,162 across 81,532 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Kalamazoo residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Kalamazoo’s 81,532 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 81,532 itemized lines for KALAMAZOO, MI. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $37,505,162.

Does Kalamazoo’s total include Portage or Detroit?

Only if the filer typed KALAMAZOO. Portage, Battle Creek, and Detroit are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $37,505,162 is the KALAMAZOO, MI match. The 81,532 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Kalamazoo facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $37,505,162 and 81,532 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.
