CHARLOTTE, NC

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city CHARLOTTE, NC sum to $124,542,868 across 320,767 contributions. Charlotte, North Carolina appears here as the contributor-city string on federal itemizations, not as a metro-area blend. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • About $388 per line is $124,542,868 divided by 320,767.

How FEC.gov stored CHARLOTTE as a city

Charlotte’s city-field extract shows $124,542,868 across 320,767 contributions. Treat $388 as a derived average. It is not an FEC-published statistic with its own schedule.

Cite $124,542,868 only as itemized federal receipts tagged CHARLOTTE, NC. North Carolina’s largest city is a filing label here. Mecklenburg geography orients readers; it does not score the receipts. 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.

Annexation stories about Concord, Gastonia, or Rock Hill do not rewrite $124,542,868. FEC city strings do not auto-follow city-limit changes. 320,767 contributions tagged CHARLOTTE, NC stay on this page until a filer types a different city. About $388 per line is still division.

Neighboring labels that are not Charlotte

Neighboring municipalities are not included unless filers typed CHARLOTTE, NC. Suburb names, county names, and metro nicknames are different keys when they appear as the city field.

Cite the city field, the dollar total, and the line count together. Two of the three is an incomplete citation of CHARLOTTE, NC.

Questions

What is the FEC donation total for CHARLOTTE, NC?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CHARLOTTE, NC total $124,542,868 across 320,767 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 Charlotte. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 320,767 a count of Charlotte donors?
LobbyVault counts 320,767 itemized contributions for CHARLOTTE, NC. 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 320,767 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $124,542,868.
Is CHARLOTTE, NC a residency total?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CHARLOTTE with state NC. Office addresses and mail that list Charlotte can be part of $124,542,868 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 320,767-line count follows the same rule.
What is the source for CHARLOTTE, NC campaign money figures?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $124,542,868 and 320,767 lines for CHARLOTTE, NC. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from NC are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $388 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
