Madison is a different Dane County string. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed.

The 20,555 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints JANESVILLE together with Beloit, Milton, and Madison, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,443,451 on 20,555 JANESVILLE, WI rows, mean near $1,092. Keep the stored spelling JANESVILLE in the citation.

Why JANESVILLE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Janesville give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city JANESVILLE, WI total $22,443,451 across 20,555 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Twenty thousand five hundred fifty-five lines against $22,443,451 produce that mean. A thinner stack can be moved by a few large receipts.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,443,451. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $1,092 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city JANESVILLE, WI?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city JANESVILLE, WI total $22,443,451 across 20,555 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 Janesville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $1,092 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Why is Janesville’s average line near $1,092?

Twenty thousand five hundred fifty-five lines against $22,443,451 produce that mean. A thinner stack can be moved by a few large receipts. LobbyVault counts 20,555 itemized contributions for JANESVILLE, WI against $22,443,451. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 20,555 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Janesville total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed JANESVILLE with state WI. Office addresses and mail that list Janesville can be part of $22,443,451 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 20,555-line count follows the same rule.

Are Janesville numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,443,451 and 20,555 lines for JANESVILLE, WI. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from WI are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
