SPOKANE, WA

120,826 lines behind $25,242,185

Spokane shows 120,826 itemizations behind $25,242,185. That mix is a high-volume, smaller-average file. Many of the lines will be modest individual receipts that happen to share the Spokane city field. Committee receipts that list a Spokane address still sit in the same column. LobbyVault does not strip one type before adding the dollars.

Spokane Valley, Coeur d’Alene, and Seattle are stored as their own city strings. They are not folded into this total. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $25,242,185 as tagged federal receipts, not as what Spokane residents gave. The 120,826 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

Nothing on this page estimates how Spokane 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 Spokane city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Spokane is not Spokane Valley on the FEC key

Committees type the city as it appears on the contributor record and the state as WA. A workplace in Spokane and a home in Spokane Valley can produce different city strings on different receipts. This hub holds only the 120,826 lines labeled SPOKANE with state WA. That split is disclosure mechanics, not a statement about the metro’s civic identity.

Keeping both facts in view—$25,242,185 and 120,826 contributions—shows a thick file. A combined Spokane County picture requires adding other hubs by design. Do not merge Seattle into this Inland Northwest string.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Spokane, WA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SPOKANE, WA total $25,242,185 across 120,826 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 Spokane. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is Spokane Valley included in the Spokane city total?

No. LobbyVault counts 120,826 itemized contributions for SPOKANE, WA against $25,242,185. Spokane Valley is a different city string when filers typed it. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. A high line count with a mean near $209 is a volume book, not a turnout score.

Does the Spokane total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SPOKANE with state WA. Office addresses and mail that list Spokane can be part of $25,242,185 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 120,826-line count follows the same rule.

Are Spokane numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,242,185 and 120,826 lines for SPOKANE, WA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from WA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $209 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
