SHORT HILLS, NJ

$41,468,625 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 57,124 itemized rows to contributor city SHORT HILLS, NJ. Their sum is $41,468,625. The mean near $726 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Short Hills is a neighborhood and CDP name that filers type as a city, often inside Millburn Township. Size of the place is not in this packet. The 57,124-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Short Hills residents. 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.

Short Hills versus Millburn is a different-key problem, not a township ranking. Summit and Livingston follow the same rule. Quote $41,468,625 and 57,124 for SHORT HILLS, NJ only. The mean near $726 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

How to read the NJ city key for Short Hills

City-name spelling is part of the key. SHORT HILLS with state NJ is the unit. A close spelling, a hyphenated variant, or a merged township label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention a Short Hills race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $41,468,625. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

What is Short Hills’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city SHORT HILLS, NJ total $41,468,625 across 57,124 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Short Hills residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Short Hills’s 57,124 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 57,124 itemized lines for SHORT HILLS, NJ. 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 $41,468,625.

Does Short Hills’s total include Millburn or Summit?

Only if the filer typed SHORT HILLS. Millburn, Summit, and Livingston are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $41,468,625 is the SHORT HILLS, NJ match. The 57,124 lines follow the same rule. Township labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $41,468,625 and 57,124 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
