KNOXVILLE, TN

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city KNOXVILLE, TN sum to $76,226,082 across 174,310 contributions. Knoxville’s pair sits beside Boca Raton on dollars with a similar line count. The table is a contributor-city aggregate from FEC.gov, not a unique-donor census and not a Knox County merge. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Knoxville’s federal itemized city book is $76,226,082 across 174,310 contributions.
  • Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
  • East Tennessee neighbor strings are not inside this Knoxville total.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

The Knoxville itemized pair

Divide $76,226,082 by 174,310 and the average itemized line is about $437. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no distribution, so $437 is not a typical Knoxville household gift.

Nashville and Memphis are other Tennessee city hubs with their own totals. They are not inside $76,226,082. Oak Ridge, Maryville, and Farragut are other East Tennessee strings when filers typed those names.

A committee address in Knoxville can share the city field with household streets, including a PAC or joint-fundraising listing. LobbyVault does not strip those rows. The 174,310 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

East Tennessee is not an FEC city

Researchers sometimes want a regional sum. FEC.gov stored city, not region. Adding Oak Ridge or Maryville to Knoxville and calling the result “East Tennessee” is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep KNOXVILLE, TN as the citation. State TN on the key stops a same-named city elsewhere from merging into this book. Recheck $76,226,082 and 174,310 on the live hub.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Knoxville federal contributions?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city KNOXVILLE, TN total $76,226,082 across 174,310 contributions. 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 Knoxville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
Is 174,310 the number of Knoxville donors?
No. LobbyVault counts 174,310 itemized contribution lines for KNOXVILLE, TN. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $76,226,082. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 174,310 should not be quoted as a Knoxville population of donors.
Does Knoxville’s total include Nashville or Oak Ridge?
No, unless the filer typed KNOXVILLE. Nashville is a separate city hub. Oak Ridge and Maryville are other city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $76,226,082 is the KNOXVILLE, TN match. The 174,310 lines follow the same rule. East Tennessee is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this Knoxville hub.
How current is the $76,226,082 Knoxville total?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $76,226,082 and 174,310 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. The mean of about $437 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

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