MONTCLAIR, NJ
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city MONTCLAIR, NJ sum to $26,718,106 across 71,397 contributions. Montclair’s 71,397 itemized rows sit in Essex County on the New Jersey tape, with a mean near $374 from those two packet facts. 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
- $26,718,106 and 71,397 lines are the MONTCLAIR, NJ packet facts.
- Mean near $374 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
- The all-cities and ZIP directories are the next tables on the same series.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
Reading $26,718,106 as a city-string roll-up
The headline pair is $26,718,106 and 71,397 lines. The implied average is about $374. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Montclair book.
Essex County’s Montclair string is separate from Bloomfield and Glen Ridge on the FEC city key. Keep the books apart. Filers typed MONTCLAIR in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state NJ. 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.
If a newsroom map paints Montclair together with Bloomfield and Glen Ridge, the FEC file still splits them. Upper Montclair as a neighborhood label is not auto-merged either. This extract’s only city total is $26,718,106 on 71,397 MONTCLAIR, NJ rows, mean near $374.
Why MONTCLAIR on the receipt is not a census of Montclair
Searchers often want “how much did people in Montclair give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city MONTCLAIR, NJ total $26,718,106 across 71,397 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.
Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $26,718,106. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions
- How much is itemized from contributor city Montclair?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MONTCLAIR, NJ total $26,718,106 across 71,397 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 Montclair. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- What does the Montclair contribution count mean?
- LobbyVault counts 71,397 itemized contributions for MONTCLAIR, NJ. 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 71,397 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $26,718,106.
- Does the Montclair total include only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed MONTCLAIR with state NJ. Office addresses and mail that list Montclair can be part of $26,718,106 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 71,397-line count follows the same rule.
- Are Montclair numbers from FEC.gov?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,718,106 and 71,397 lines for MONTCLAIR, NJ. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from NJ are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $374 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.
