BURLINGTON, VT

43,911 lines carrying $15,877,548

The headline pair is $15,877,548 and 43,911 lines. The implied average is about $362. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the BURLINGTON book. Chittenden County filers typed BURLINGTON with state VT.

BURLINGTON, VT is a Chittenden County city field, not Burlington, North Carolina. State VT is required in the citation. South Burlington is a neighboring string when filers typed that name. Montpelier is a different Vermont key. 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. Read $15,877,548 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of Burlington gave. The 43,911 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints Burlington together with South Burlington, Winooski, and Burlington, North Carolina, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $15,877,548 on 43,911 BURLINGTON, VT rows, mean near $362. Keep the stored spelling BURLINGTON in the citation.

Why BURLINGTON on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Burlington give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city BURLINGTON, VT total $15,877,548 across 43,911 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is BURLINGTON with state VT only. Burlington, NC is another FEC city key. South Burlington is a different string when typed.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $15,877,548. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $362 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city BURLINGTON, VT?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city BURLINGTON, VT total $15,877,548 across 43,911 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 Burlington. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $362 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Burlington is this $15.9M total?

This extract is BURLINGTON with state VT only. Burlington, NC is another FEC city key. South Burlington is a different string when typed. LobbyVault counts 43,911 itemized contributions for BURLINGTON, VT against $15,877,548. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 43,911 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Burlington total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed BURLINGTON with state VT. Office addresses and mail that list Burlington can be part of $15,877,548 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 43,911-line count follows the same rule.

Are Burlington numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,877,548 and 43,911 lines for BURLINGTON, VT. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
