MIDLAND, MI

61,559 lines carrying $20,836,630

The headline pair is $20,836,630 and 61,559 lines. The implied average is about $338. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the MIDLAND book. Midland County filers typed MIDLAND with state MI.

MIDLAND, MI is a central-Michigan city field, not Midland, Texas. State MI is required in the citation. Saginaw and Bay City are neighboring Michigan strings with their own hubs. 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. Read $20,836,630 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of MIDLAND gave. The 61,559 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints MIDLAND together with Saginaw, Bay City, and Midland, Texas, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $20,836,630 on 61,559 MIDLAND, MI rows, mean near $338. Keep the stored spelling MIDLAND in the citation.

Why MIDLAND on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Midland give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city MIDLAND, MI total $20,836,630 across 61,559 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. This extract is MIDLAND with state MI. Midland, TX is a different FEC city-and-state key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $20,836,630. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $338 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city MIDLAND, MI?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MIDLAND, MI total $20,836,630 across 61,559 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 Midland. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $338 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is this Midland, Texas?

No. This extract is MIDLAND with state MI. Midland, TX is a different FEC city-and-state key. LobbyVault counts 61,559 itemized contributions for MIDLAND, MI against $20,836,630. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 61,559 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Midland total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MIDLAND with state MI. Office addresses and mail that list Midland can be part of $20,836,630 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 61,559-line count follows the same rule.

Are Midland numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,836,630 and 61,559 lines for MIDLAND, MI. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MI are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
