ARLINGTON, VA

Arlington, VA is the contributor city on $801,865,991 in federal receipts across 675,726 FEC itemizations. The figures are FEC.gov filings grouped on LobbyVault by city and state. Sitting across the Potomac from the District, Arlington hosts contractor offices, association suites, and household streets that can all appear on the same city field. The total is tagged activity, not a roster of Arlington residents who donated.

Key figures

  • Arlington, VA contributor-city receipts total $801,865,991.
  • Those dollars sit on 675,726 FEC itemizations.
  • District of Columbia records are stored as a separate city string.
  • PAC and joint-fundraising addresses can appear in the city field.
  • ZIP pages split the same federal filings by postal code.

An inner-Beltway city string with $802 million tagged

The $801,865,991 sum is every loaded federal itemization whose contributor city is Arlington and whose state is VA. Six hundred seventy-five thousand seven hundred twenty-six lines feed that total. LobbyVault does not test whether the address is a Crystal City office or a residential street. If the committee typed Arlington, VA, the receipt stays here. That rule keeps the hub aligned with the public file.

Washington, DC and Alexandria are stored as their own city strings. They are not inside this Arlington number. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Quoting $801,865,991 as what Arlingtonians gave describes the city field, not a residency screen. The 675,726 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Arlington 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 Arlington city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $801,865,991 and 675,726 itemizations.

Fewer lines than some large-dollar cities

Compared with the dollar total, 675,726 itemizations is a tighter file than city hubs that carry similar money on well over a million lines. That mix can happen when larger committee receipts share the city field with ordinary individual contributions. This page does not split those types. It reports the combined $801,865,991 and the combined line count so readers can see both facts at once.

Free-text spelling still matters. A committee that typed a neighborhood name or a different Virginia city would not land in this hub. The 675,726 records are the literal ARLINGTON match. A National Capital Region research question requires adding DC and Maryland/Virginia labels by hand. This guide does not invent that metro sum.

Virginia state campaign accounts are not inside $801,865,991. This hub is federal itemizations whose city field is Arlington, VA, totaling 675,726 records. A Beltway briefing that blends DC, Maryland, and Virginia labels is a different object. Add those hubs only if that is the research question, and keep this page’s two facts unchanged.
