EDINA, MN

$45,525,171 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 97,823 itemized rows to contributor city EDINA, MN. Their sum is $45,525,171. The mean near $465 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Hennepin County’s Edina sits on this string as a first-ring filing city, not as a score of suburban races. The 97,823-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Edina residents. 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.

Edina versus Minneapolis is a different-key problem, not a metro ranking. Bloomington and Minnetonka follow the same rule. Quote $45,525,171 and 97,823 for EDINA, MN only. The mean near $465 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

How to read the MN city key for Edina

City-name spelling is part of the key. EDINA with state MN is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention an Edina race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $45,525,171. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Questions

What is Edina’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city EDINA, MN total $45,525,171 across 97,823 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Edina residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Edina’s 97,823 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 97,823 itemized lines for EDINA, MN. 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 $45,525,171.

Does Edina’s total include Minneapolis or Bloomington?

Only if the filer typed EDINA. Minneapolis, Bloomington, and Minnetonka are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $45,525,171 is the EDINA, MN match. The 97,823 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Edina facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $45,525,171 and 97,823 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Minnesota non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $465 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
