CHESTERFIELD, MO

84,195 lines behind CHESTERFIELD's $22.3M

CHESTERFIELD shows 84,195 itemizations behind $22,325,629. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $22.3M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $265.

Chesterfield is a west St. Louis County suburb. The city of St. Louis is a different FEC city key, including the ST LOUIS and ST. LOUIS spelling variants. Ballwin and Wildwood are neighboring county strings, not subsets of CHESTERFIELD. 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 $22,325,629 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of CHESTERFIELD gave. The 84,195 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints CHESTERFIELD together with Ballwin, Wildwood, and the city of St. Louis, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,325,629 on 84,195 CHESTERFIELD, MO rows, mean near $265. Keep the stored spelling CHESTERFIELD in the citation.

Why CHESTERFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Chesterfield give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city CHESTERFIELD, MO total $22,325,629 across 84,195 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Not on this extract. CHESTERFIELD, MO is the stored suburban string. St. Louis city spellings are other keys.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,325,629. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $265 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city CHESTERFIELD, MO?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CHESTERFIELD, MO total $22,325,629 across 84,195 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 Chesterfield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $265 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Chesterfield included in the St. Louis city total?

Not on this extract. CHESTERFIELD, MO is the stored suburban string. St. Louis city spellings are other keys. LobbyVault counts 84,195 itemized contributions for CHESTERFIELD, MO against $22,325,629. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 84,195 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Chesterfield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CHESTERFIELD with state MO. Office addresses and mail that list Chesterfield can be part of $22,325,629 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 84,195-line count follows the same rule.

Are Chesterfield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,325,629 and 84,195 lines for CHESTERFIELD, MO. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MO are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
