PORTLAND, OR

Portland, OR is the contributor city on $153,516,263 in federal receipts spread over 684,651 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault pulls those lines from FEC.gov and groups them by city and state. The line count is large relative to the dollar total, which usually means many separate receipts rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. The state field is OR, so this hub is not Portland, Maine. Those two FEC.gov facts—$153,516,263 and 684,651 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Portland, OR guide makes.

Key figures

  • Portland, OR contributor-city receipts total $153,516,263.
  • Those dollars sit on 684,651 FEC itemizations.
  • The state field is OR, so this hub is not Portland, Maine.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

More than 680,000 lines behind $154 million

Portland shows 684,651 itemizations behind $153,516,263. That mix is a high-volume, smaller-average file. Many of the lines will be modest individual receipts that happen to share the Portland city field. Committee receipts that list a Portland address still sit in the same column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars.

Beaverton, Seattle, and other Northwest labels 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 $153,516,263 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Portland residents gave. The 684,651 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Portland 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 Portland city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $153,516,263 and 684,651 itemizations.

How FEC city and state keep Oregon distinct

Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record and the state as OR. A workplace in Portland and a home in a suburb can produce different city strings on different receipts. This hub holds only the 684,651 lines labeled PORTLAND with state OR. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about the metro’s civic identity.

Keeping both facts in view—$153,516,263 and 684,651 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 Multnomah County picture requires adding other hubs by design.

Oregon state campaign accounts are not inside $153,516,263. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Portland, OR: 684,651 records. A metro briefing that blends Vancouver, WA is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
