SALT LAKE CITY, UT

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city SALT LAKE CITY, UT sum to $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions. Salt Lake City’s three-word city string is the FEC key. Do not shorten it to Salt Lake on a citation. 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

  • $93,960,108 and 243,182 lines are the SALT LAKE CITY, UT packet facts.
  • Mean near $386 is arithmetic, not a median resident.
  • The all-cities and ZIP directories are the next tables on the same series.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

Reading $93,960,108 as a city-string roll-up

The headline pair is $93,960,108 and 243,182 lines. The implied average is about $386. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Salt Lake City book.

Utah’s capital is orientation. State-office campaigns in Utah are not this FEC city total. Filers typed SALT LAKE CITY in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state UT. 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.

Metro shorthand that folds West Valley City or Sandy into Salt Lake City is a recode. FEC.gov stored SALT LAKE CITY, UT. $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions, mean near $386, belongs to that spelling. Provo is a different key if it appears as the city field.

Why SALT LAKE CITY on the receipt is not a census of Salt Lake City

Searchers often want “how much did people in Salt Lake City give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SALT LAKE CITY, UT total $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $93,960,108. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Salt Lake City?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SALT LAKE CITY, UT total $93,960,108 across 243,182 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 Salt Lake City. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
What does the Salt Lake City contribution count mean?
LobbyVault counts 243,182 itemized contributions for SALT LAKE CITY, UT. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 243,182 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $93,960,108.
Can committee addresses appear in the Salt Lake City city total?
No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SALT LAKE CITY with state UT. Office addresses and mail that list Salt Lake City can be part of $93,960,108 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 243,182-line count follows the same rule.
Are Salt Lake City numbers from FEC.gov?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $93,960,108 and 243,182 lines for SALT LAKE CITY, UT. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from UT are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $386 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.
