Buffalo’s volume relative to its dollars
One hundred two thousand five hundred thirty-three lines produce $31,737,469. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $310. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a ranking of Erie County giving. FEC.gov does not publish a median or a unique-donor count on this city aggregate.
Amherst, Cheektowaga, and Niagara Falls keep separate New York hubs when those strings appear. They are not inside $31,737,469 unless the filer typed BUFFALO. Erie County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.
Western New York city, not a statewide sum
Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany keep separate New York hubs. Adding them to Buffalo would be a recode. This packet publishes BUFFALO, NY only: $31,737,469 and 102,533 lines.
State NY on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions
- What is Buffalo’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city BUFFALO, NY total $31,737,469 across 102,533 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Buffalo residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- How should I read Buffalo’s 102,533 contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 102,533 itemized lines for BUFFALO, NY. 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 $31,737,469. The mean near $310 follows from division.
- Does Buffalo’s total include Amherst or Niagara Falls?
- Only if the filer typed BUFFALO. Amherst, Cheektowaga, and Niagara Falls are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $31,737,469 is the BUFFALO, NY match. The 102,533 lines follow the same rule. Erie County is not an FEC dimension on this hub.
- Where do the Buffalo facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $31,737,469 and 102,533 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. New York non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $310 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
