DUBLIN, OH

Reading $25,257,265 as a city-string roll-up

The headline pair is $25,257,265 and 61,324 lines. The implied average is about $412. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Dublin, OH book.

Franklin and Delaware counties share the Dublin street grid on the map. The FEC key is still DUBLIN with state OH. Filers typed DUBLIN in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state OH. 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.

If a newsroom map paints Dublin together with Columbus and Worthington, the FEC file still splits them. Powell too. This extract’s only city total is $25,257,265 on 61,324 DUBLIN, OH rows, mean near $412.

Why DUBLIN, OH on the receipt is not a census of Dublin

Searchers often want “how much did people in Dublin give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city DUBLIN, OH total $25,257,265 across 61,324 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $25,257,265. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. State OH is what keeps this page off the California Dublin key.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Dublin, OH?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city DUBLIN, OH total $25,257,265 across 61,324 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Dublin. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is this Dublin, Ohio or Dublin, California?

This extract is DUBLIN with state OH: 61,324 lines and $25,257,265. Dublin, CA, would be a different city key. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 61,324 should not be quoted as a population.

Does the Dublin, OH total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed DUBLIN with state OH. Office addresses and mail that list Dublin can be part of $25,257,265 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 61,324-line count follows the same rule.

Are Dublin, OH numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,257,265 and 61,324 lines for DUBLIN, OH. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from OH are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $412 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
