NASHVILLE, TN

Nashville, TN is the contributor city on $165,206,315 in federal receipts across 418,201 FEC itemizations. LobbyVault groups those lines from FEC.gov by city and state. As a state capital and recording-industry center, Nashville hosts association offices, company suites, and household streets that can all appear on the same city field. The total is tagged activity, not a roster of Nashville residents who donated. Those two FEC.gov facts—$165,206,315 and 418,201 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Nashville guide makes.

Key figures

  • Nashville, TN contributor-city receipts total $165,206,315.
  • Those dollars sit on 418,201 FEC itemizations.
  • Other Tennessee city strings are not silently merged into this hub.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

What $165 million on the Nashville city field covers

The $165,206,315 sum is every loaded federal itemization whose contributor city is Nashville and whose state is TN. Four hundred eighteen thousand two hundred one lines feed that total. LobbyVault does not test whether an address is a music-industry PAC, a trade association, or a residential street. If the committee typed Nashville, TN, the receipt stays here. That mechanical rule keeps the hub aligned with the public file.

Franklin, Memphis, and other Tennessee labels are stored as their own city strings when committees type them that way. They are not silently folded into this hub. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Quoting $165,206,315 as what Nashvillians gave describes the city field, not a residency screen. The 418,201 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Nashville 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 Nashville city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $165,206,315 and 418,201 itemizations.

Reading the 418,201 itemizations

A count of 418,201 lines means the Nashville aggregate is a substantial file, not a handful of oversized transfers. Individual receipts and committee receipts share the same city column. This page does not strip one type. It reports the combined dollars and the combined line count so both facts stay visible.

Free-text spelling still splits Davidson County. A committee that typed a suburb name would not land in this NASHVILLE bucket. The 418,201 records are the literal match. A combined metro research question requires adding other city hubs by design. This guide does not invent that merge or extra dollar amounts.

Tennessee state campaign accounts are not inside $165,206,315. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Nashville, TN: 418,201 records. A Davidson County briefing that blends Franklin is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
