Eugene, OR

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city Eugene, OR sum to $26,555,266 across 181,460 contributions. Eugene’s 181,460-line count is a high-volume Lane County city field; the mean near $146 is arithmetic from those two packet facts, not a household figure. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census and not a party score. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Eugene, OR FEC itemizations total $26,555,266 across 181,460 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $146; 181,460 is a line count, not unique donors.
  • City is the contributor-city field on FEC itemizations.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

181,460 lines behind $26,555,266

Eugene shows 181,460 itemizations behind $26,555,266. That mix is a high-volume, smaller-average file. Many of the lines will be modest individual receipts that happen to share the Eugene city field. Committee receipts that list a Eugene address still sit in the same column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars.

Springfield, OR, and Portland, OR, are stored as their own city strings. They are not folded into this total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $26,555,266 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Eugene residents gave. The 181,460 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Eugene 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 Eugene city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

How FEC city and state keep Oregon Eugene distinct

Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record and the state as OR. A workplace in Eugene and a home in Springfield can produce different city strings on different receipts. This hub holds only the 181,460 lines labeled Eugene with state OR. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about the metro’s civic identity.

Keeping both facts in view—$26,555,266 and 181,460 contributions—shows a thick file. This page keeps both so the public file can be checked without a second filter that FEC.gov does not put on the city column. A combined Lane County picture requires adding other hubs by design.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Eugene, OR?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city Eugene, OR total $26,555,266 across 181,460 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 Eugene. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Why is Eugene’s contribution count so high relative to the dollars?
LobbyVault counts 181,460 itemized contributions for Eugene, OR against $26,555,266, a mean near $146. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. A high line count with a modest mean is a volume book, not a turnout score.
Does the Eugene total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed Eugene with state OR. Office addresses and mail that list Eugene can be part of $26,555,266 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 181,460-line count follows the same rule.
Is Eugene, OR merged with Portland on this page?
No. This extract is Eugene, OR only: $26,555,266 and 181,460 lines. Portland, OR, and Springfield, OR, are other city strings. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal Oregon filings sit outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
