CINCINNATI, OH

Cincinnati, OH is the contributor city on $199,862,427 in federal receipts across 427,940 FEC itemizations. Those figures come from FEC.gov filings grouped on LobbyVault by city and state. Corporate offices, national committee mail rooms, and household streets can share that city string. The total is tagged activity, not a roster of Cincinnati residents who donated, and it is not a silent merge with Kentucky suburbs. Those two FEC.gov factsβ€”$199,862,427 and 427,940 itemizationsβ€”are the entire numeric claim this Cincinnati guide makes.

Key figures

  • Cincinnati, OH contributor-city receipts total $199,862,427.
  • Those dollars sit on 427,940 FEC itemizations.
  • Kentucky and Ohio suburb city strings are not silently merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

What $200 million on the Cincinnati city field covers

The $199,862,427 sum is every loaded federal itemization whose contributor city is Cincinnati and whose state is OH. Four hundred twenty-seven thousand nine hundred forty lines feed that total. LobbyVault does not test whether an address is a company PAC, a union hall, or a residential street. If the committee typed Cincinnati, OH, the receipt stays here. That mechanical rule keeps the hub aligned with the public file.

Northern Kentucky cities and Ohio suburbs are stored as their own city strings when committees type them that way. They are not silently folded into this hub. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Quoting $199,862,427 as what Cincinnatians gave describes the city field, not a residency screen. The 427,940 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Cincinnati 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 Cincinnati city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $199,862,427 and 427,940 itemizations.

Reading the 427,940 itemizations

A count of 427,940 lines means the Cincinnati aggregate is a substantial file, not a handful of oversized transfers. Individual receipts and committee receipts share the same city column. This page does not strip one type. It reports the combined dollars and the combined line count so both facts stay visible.

Free-text spelling still splits the tri-state region. A committee that typed a Kentucky city would not land in this CINCINNATI, OH bucket. The 427,940 records are the literal match. A combined metro research question requires adding other city hubs by design. This guide does not invent that merge or extra dollar amounts.

Ohio state campaign accounts are not inside $199,862,427. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Cincinnati, OH: 427,940 records. A tri-state briefing that blends Kentucky cities is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
