STATEN ISLAND, NY

Staten Island as a city field, not a borough recode

One hundred two thousand three hundred eighty-two lines produce $26,895,341. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $263. That is a high-volume borough string on this extract. NEW YORK CITY as a separate key carries fewer lines on a similar dollar total; that contrast is a filing-string fact, not a ranking of boroughs.

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and NEW YORK CITY keep separate hubs. Adding them to Staten Island would invent a five-borough total the Commission does not store on this key. This packet publishes STATEN ISLAND, NY only: $26,895,341 and 102,382 lines.

Not a New York City roll-up

Filers who live on Staten Island sometimes type NEW YORK or NEW YORK CITY. Those rows never enter $26,895,341. Only receipts that stored STATEN ISLAND as the contributor city sit here. LobbyVault does not recode borough names into a metro hub. A St. George mail room typed as STATEN ISLAND sits inside the pair; an island household typed as NEW YORK does not. That split is why 102,382 can exceed the thinner NEW YORK CITY string on similar dollars.

Office addresses can share the Staten Island city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 102,382 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Questions

What is Staten Island’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city STATEN ISLAND, NY total $26,895,341 across 102,382 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a five-borough census. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Staten Island’s 102,382 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 102,382 itemized lines for STATEN ISLAND, 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 $26,895,341.

Does Staten Island’s total include Brooklyn or NEW YORK CITY?

Only if the filer typed STATEN ISLAND. Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and NEW YORK CITY are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $26,895,341 is the STATEN ISLAND, NY match. The 102,382 lines follow the same rule.

Where do the Staten Island facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $26,895,341 and 102,382 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 $263 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
