MINNEAPOLIS, MN

Minneapolis, MN is tagged as the contributor city on $142,240,045 in federal receipts across 451,931 FEC itemizations. The figures come from FEC.gov filings aggregated on LobbyVault. Downtown towers, national committee mail rooms, and household streets can all produce the same city string. The total is an address rollup rather than a headcount of Minneapolis residents who donated, and it is not a silent merge with Saint Paul. Those two FEC.gov factsβ€”$142,240,045 and 451,931 itemizationsβ€”are the entire numeric claim this Minneapolis guide makes.

Key figures

  • Minneapolis, MN contributor-city receipts total $142,240,045.
  • The aggregate covers 451,931 FEC itemizations.
  • Saint Paul and other Twin Cities strings are not merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can sit in the city field.
  • ZIP pages cut the same filings by postal code.

What the Minneapolis city field sums

The $142,240,045 figure is the sum of itemizations stored as Minneapolis, MN. Four hundred fifty-one thousand nine hundred thirty-one contribution records feed that total. LobbyVault does not drop lines that look like headquarters traffic. If the committee reported Minneapolis, the dollars remain in this hub. That rule is what lets a reader check the table against the public file.

Saint Paul and other Twin Cities labels are stored separately when committees type them that way. They are not inside the $142,240,045 Minneapolis total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Treat the number as federal receipts tagged to this city string. The 451,931 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique Minneapolis residents.

Nothing on this page estimates how Minneapolis voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Minneapolis city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $142,240,045 and 451,931 itemizations.

Itemization volume in the Minneapolis file

A count of 451,931 lines means the Minneapolis aggregate is a thick stack of receipts rather than a handful of mega-transfers. Many will be ordinary individual contributions. Others will be committee transfers that list a Minneapolis address. The FEC city column does not mark which is which. This page keeps the combined file.

Spelling and neighborhood variants can siphon records away from MINNEAPOLIS if a committee typed a different city name. The 451,931 figure is the literal match, not a fuzzy Twin Cities search. A research project that wants the combined metro must add other city hubs on purpose. This guide does not invent that merge.

Minnesota state campaign accounts are not inside $142,240,045. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Minneapolis, MN: 451,931 records. A Twin Cities briefing that blends Saint Paul is a different object unless that label is added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
