WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI

Keep WEST BLOOMFIELD as the full city string

The headline pair is $24,782,934 and 67,193 lines. The implied average is about $369. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the West Bloomfield book.

Oakland County’s West Bloomfield string is separate from Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, and Farmington Hills on the FEC city key. Filers typed WEST BLOOMFIELD in the city field. A shortened Bloomfield row, if it exists, would be a different key. LobbyVault summed rows with this string and state MI. 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.

If a newsroom map paints West Bloomfield together with Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham, the FEC file still splits them. Farmington Hills too. This extract’s only city total is $24,782,934 on 67,193 WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI rows, mean near $369.

Why WEST BLOOMFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in West Bloomfield give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI total $24,782,934 across 67,193 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $24,782,934. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city West Bloomfield, MI?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI total $24,782,934 across 67,193 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 West Bloomfield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is West Bloomfield the same as Bloomfield Hills on FEC reports?

No. This extract is WEST BLOOMFIELD with state MI: 67,193 lines and $24,782,934. Bloomfield Hills is a different city string. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 67,193 should not be quoted as a population.

Does the West Bloomfield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed WEST BLOOMFIELD with state MI. Office addresses and mail that list West Bloomfield can be part of $24,782,934 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 67,193-line count follows the same rule.

Are West Bloomfield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $24,782,934 and 67,193 lines for WEST BLOOMFIELD, 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. The mean of about $369 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
