SPARTANBURG, SC

45,326 lines carrying $15,714,690

The headline pair is $15,714,690 and 45,326 lines. The implied average is about $347. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the SPARTANBURG book. Spartanburg County filers typed SPARTANBURG with state SC.

Spartanburg is an Upstate South Carolina city field. Greenville is a neighboring county seat on a different key. Columbia is a Midlands string. Spartanburg County is geography, not this FEC city total. 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. Read $15,714,690 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Spartanburg gave. The 45,326 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Spartanburg together with Greenville, Greer, and Columbia, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $15,714,690 on 45,326 SPARTANBURG, SC rows, mean near $347. Keep the stored spelling SPARTANBURG in the citation.

Why SPARTANBURG on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Spartanburg give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SPARTANBURG, SC total $15,714,690 across 45,326 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. SPARTANBURG, SC is the stored Upstate string. Greenville is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $15,714,690. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $347 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city SPARTANBURG, SC?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SPARTANBURG, SC total $15,714,690 across 45,326 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 Spartanburg. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $347 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Spartanburg folded into Greenville on this extract?

No. SPARTANBURG, SC is the stored Upstate string. Greenville is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 45,326 itemized contributions for SPARTANBURG, SC against $15,714,690. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 45,326 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Spartanburg total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SPARTANBURG with state SC. Office addresses and mail that list Spartanburg can be part of $15,714,690 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 45,326-line count follows the same rule.

Are Spartanburg numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,714,690 and 45,326 lines for SPARTANBURG, SC. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from SC are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
