JACKSON, MS

What $50,019,411 on the Jackson city field covers

$50,019,411 divided by 114,264 is about $438 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 $50,019,411 and 114,264.

Mississippi’s capital sits on this string as a Hinds County filing city, not as a score of statehouse races. 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.

A Jackson total of $50,019,411 does not absorb Ridgeland, Madison, or Pearl. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State MS stays on the citation so JACKSON, MS is not merged with Jackson, Tennessee or Jackson, Michigan. The 114,264 lines and the mean near $438 describe this key only.

Jackson 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 Jackson against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed JACKSON can sit inside $50,019,411.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $50,019,411 and 114,264. If the live Jackson hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Jackson’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city JACKSON, MS total $50,019,411 across 114,264 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Jackson residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Jackson’s 114,264 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 114,264 itemized lines for JACKSON, MS. 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 $50,019,411.

Does Jackson’s total include Ridgeland or Madison?

Only if the filer typed JACKSON. Ridgeland, Madison, and Pearl are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $50,019,411 is the JACKSON, MS match. The 114,264 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Jackson facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $50,019,411 and 114,264 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Mississippi non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $438 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
