FALLS CHURCH, VA

A high-volume Northern Virginia book

Three hundred sixty-four thousand nine hundred eighty-five lines produce $64,213,541. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $176. That is a volume shape close to San Jose’s: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines.

Volume is not unique people. Repeat givers can inflate 364,985 without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. $64,213,541 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

Arlington, McLean, Vienna, Fairfax, and Alexandria are other Virginia city strings. They are not inside $64,213,541 unless the filer typed FALLS CHURCH. Fairfax County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Falls Church is not Arlington and not Washington

Washington, DC is a separate city string in another jurisdiction. Adding Falls Church to Arlington or McLean and calling the sum “Northern Virginia” is a recode this packet does not publish.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Falls Church stays in this bucket. LobbyVault does not strip those rows. Keep FALLS CHURCH, VA as the citation. Recheck $64,213,541 and 364,985 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Falls Church’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city FALLS CHURCH, VA total $64,213,541 across 364,985 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Falls Church residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Why is Falls Church’s line count high relative to the dollars?

This extract stores 364,985 itemized lines behind $64,213,541, a mean near $176. That is a volume book: many receipts, a lower average than cities with similar dollars and fewer lines. The packet has no unique-donor figure. Quote both facts together rather than the mean alone.

Does Falls Church’s total include Arlington or McLean?

No, unless the filer typed FALLS CHURCH. Arlington, McLean, Vienna, and Fairfax are separate city strings. $64,213,541 is the FALLS CHURCH, VA match. The 364,985 lines follow the same rule. Regional labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Northern Virginia is a research phrase, not an FEC dimension on this Falls Church hub.

Where do the Falls Church facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $64,213,541 and 364,985 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Virginia non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $176 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
