Setauket, NY

A thinner Setauket file on $45,095,731

$45,095,731 divided by 13,525 is about $3,334 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $45,095,731 and 13,525.

Setauket is a Long Island hamlet name that filers type as a city. Size of the hamlet is not in this packet. A thirteen-thousand-line book that still reaches $45,095,731 is a shape fact: larger itemizations can dominate dollars when the line count is modest. 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.

A Setauket total of $45,095,731 does not absorb Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, or East Setauket. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State NY stays on the citation. The mixed-case city string in this packet is the match as stored. The 13,525 lines and the mean near $3,334 describe this key only.

Setauket is a contributor city, not a residency audit

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Setauket against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed Setauket can sit inside $45,095,731.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $45,095,731 and 13,525. If the live Setauket hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Setauket’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city Setauket, NY total $45,095,731 across 13,525 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Setauket residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Why is Setauket’s average line so large?

LobbyVault counts 13,525 itemized lines for Setauket, NY against $45,095,731. Divide those two packet facts and the mean is about $3,334. That is arithmetic on a thinner file, not a unique-donor figure and not a household survey. Larger itemizations can dominate dollars when the line count is modest.

Does Setauket’s total include Stony Brook or East Setauket?

Only if the filer typed Setauket. Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, and East Setauket are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $45,095,731 is the Setauket, NY match. The 13,525 lines follow the same rule. Hamlet-to-town recodes are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Setauket facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $45,095,731 and 13,525 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 $3,334 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
