SAINT LOUIS, MO

What $83,810,982 on the Saint Louis city field covers

$83,810,982 divided by 245,693 is about $341 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $83,810,982 and 245,693.

FEC stored SAINT LOUIS, not St. Louis. The spelled-out city string is the key; do not merge ST LOUIS variants here. 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.

Saint Louis versus Clayton is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. University City and St. Charles follow the same rule. Quote $83,810,982 and 245,693 for SAINT LOUIS, MO only. The mean near $341 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

Saint Louis is a contributor city, not a residency audit

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Saint Louis against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed SAINT LOUIS can sit inside $83,810,982.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $83,810,982 and 245,693. If the live Saint Louis hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Saint Louis, MO?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SAINT LOUIS, MO total $83,810,982 across 245,693 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 Saint Louis. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to Saint Louis?

LobbyVault counts 245,693 itemized contributions for SAINT LOUIS, MO. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 245,693 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $83,810,982.

Does the Saint Louis total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SAINT LOUIS with state MO. Office addresses and mail that list Saint Louis can be part of $83,810,982 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 245,693-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get Saint Louis totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $83,810,982 and 245,693 lines for SAINT LOUIS, 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. The mean of about $341 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
