How much in federal contributions lists Brooklyn, NY?

FEC itemizations that store the contributor city as Brooklyn, NY total $223,850,174 across 811,689 records. It is a contributor-city total from federal filings, not a count of Brooklyn residents, and not a slice of the New York, NY hub.

Is Brooklyn included in the New York, NY donation total?

No. FEC city is a text field. Records that say BROOKLYN stay on this hub. This page covers 811,689 itemizations labeled Brooklyn, NY, totaling $223,850,174. Use the cities index for the New York label.

Does the Brooklyn city total include only residents?

No. The city field is whatever address the filing committee put on the itemization. PACs and joint-fundraising operations that list a Brooklyn, NY address are included. The $223,850,174 figure should not be read as resident-only giving.

Where do these Brooklyn donation numbers come from?

Federal Election Commission contribution filings on FEC.gov, aggregated on LobbyVault by contributor city. The headline pair is $223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations.

BROOKLYN, NY

Brooklyn, NY appears as the contributor city on $223,850,174 in federal receipts across 811,689 FEC itemizations. Those totals come from Federal Election Commission filings compiled on LobbyVault. Brooklyn is stored as its own city string, not as a slice of the New York, NY hub. The city field is still the address the committee put on the itemization, which can be a household street or a committee office. Those two FEC.gov facts—$223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Brooklyn guide makes.

Key figures

Brooklyn, NY contributor-city receipts total $223,850,174 on FEC itemizations.
Those dollars sit on 811,689 contribution records.
Brooklyn is a separate city string from New York, NY in the FEC file.
The city field can be a PAC or joint-fundraising address as well as an individual address.
ZIP pages split the same filings by postal code without adding party or motive.

Why Brooklyn is not inside the New York city total

FEC city is free text. Records that say BROOKLYN are stored under that label. Records that say NEW YORK are stored under a different hub. This page covers the 811,689 itemizations labeled Brooklyn, NY, summing to $223,850,174. LobbyVault does not silently merge the five boroughs. A researcher who wants a combined city picture must add the other labels by design.

That split is disclosure mechanics, not a claim about civic identity. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $223,850,174 as tagged federal receipts on the Brooklyn city string, not as a census of Brooklyn residents who donated. The 811,689 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Brooklyn voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Brooklyn city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations.

A high line count on the Brooklyn string

Eight hundred eleven thousand six hundred eighty-nine itemizations is a thick file relative to the dollar total. That pattern usually means many separate receipts, including smaller individual contributions, rather than a short list of oversized transfers. Committee receipts that list a Brooklyn address still sit in the same column. This page keeps both types.

Spelling variants can still siphon records. A committee that typed New York for a Brooklyn street would land on the other hub. The 811,689 figure is the literal BROOKLYN match. Matching another publisher’s “New York City” number requires seeing which borough labels they included.

New York state and city campaign accounts are not inside $223,850,174. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Brooklyn, NY: 811,689 records. A five-borough briefing that blends New York, NY is a different object unless that label is added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
