CHATTANOOGA, TN

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city CHATTANOOGA, TN sum to $40,880,211 across 85,922 contributions. Chattanooga’s pair sits between a thin high-mean book and a high-volume low-mean book: tens of thousands of lines on a forty-one-million-dollar total. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Chattanooga’s federal itemized city book is $40,880,211 across 85,922 contributions.
  • The mean near $476 is $40,880,211 divided by 85,922.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Chattanooga’s mid-volume Tennessee book

Eighty-five thousand nine hundred twenty-two lines produce $40,880,211. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $476. That mean is packet arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a typical downtown-riverfront gift.

Lookout Mountain, East Ridge, and Hixson are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $40,880,211 unless the filer typed CHATTANOOGA. Hamilton County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Chattanooga city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 85,922 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not Nashville, Knoxville, or Georgia

Nashville and Knoxville keep separate Tennessee hubs. Atlanta is a Georgia city string. This packet does not merge tri-state labels. It publishes CHATTANOOGA, TN: $40,880,211 and 85,922 lines.

Keep TN on the key. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Chattanooga federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city CHATTANOOGA, TN total $40,880,211 across 85,922 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Chattanooga residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 85,922 the number of Chattanooga donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 85,922 itemized contribution lines for CHATTANOOGA, TN. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $40,880,211.
Does Chattanooga’s total include Nashville or Atlanta?
No, unless the filer typed CHATTANOOGA. Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta are separate city hubs. $40,880,211 is the CHATTANOOGA, TN match. The 85,922 lines follow the same rule. Metro and tri-state labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
How current is Chattanooga’s $40,880,211 figure?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $40,880,211 and 85,922 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Tennessee non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

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