FRANKLIN, TN

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city FRANKLIN, TN sum to $20.6M across 69,724 contributions. Franklin is a Williamson County mid-volume book in Williamson County south of Nashville: 69,724 lines against $20.6M produces a mean near $296 from those two packet facts. 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

  • $20,636,728 and 69,724 lines are the FRANKLIN, TN packet facts.
  • Mean near $296 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • Franklin is not Nashville on the FEC city key.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

69,724 lines carrying $20,636,728

The headline pair is $20,636,728 and 69,724 lines. The implied average is about $296. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the FRANKLIN book. Williamson County filers typed FRANKLIN with state TN.

Franklin is a Williamson County suburb of Nashville. Rows that list NASHVILLE are a different hub. Brentwood and Spring Hill are neighboring strings. Franklin, other states, are other keys. 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 $20,636,728 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of FRANKLIN gave. The 69,724 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints FRANKLIN together with Brentwood, Spring Hill, and Nashville, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $20,636,728 on 69,724 FRANKLIN, TN rows, mean near $296. Keep the stored spelling FRANKLIN in the citation.

Why FRANKLIN on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Franklin give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city FRANKLIN, TN total $20,636,728 across 69,724 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. FRANKLIN, TN is the stored Williamson County string. Nashville is a different city key when filers typed it.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $20,636,728. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $296 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city FRANKLIN, TN?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city FRANKLIN, TN total $20,636,728 across 69,724 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 Franklin. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $296 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
Is Franklin counted inside Nashville on this extract?
No. FRANKLIN, TN is the stored Williamson County string. Nashville is a different city key when filers typed it. LobbyVault counts 69,724 itemized contributions for FRANKLIN, TN against $20,636,728. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 69,724 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Does the Franklin total include only residents?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed FRANKLIN with state TN. Office addresses and mail that list Franklin can be part of $20,636,728 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 69,724-line count follows the same rule.
Are Franklin numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,636,728 and 69,724 lines for FRANKLIN, TN. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from TN are 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.
