MILWAUKEE, WI
FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city MILWAUKEE, WI sum to $73,400,945 across 232,633 contributions. Milwaukee’s dollars sit beside Baton Rouge, but the line count is larger, closer to Orlando’s volume shape. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
Key figures
- Milwaukee’s federal itemized city book is $73,400,945 across 232,633 contributions.
- The mean near $315 reflects a higher line count than Baton Rouge on similar dollars.
- Cite contributor city, dollars, and line count together.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Milwaukee’s volume beside similar dollars
Two hundred thirty-two thousand six hundred thirty-three lines produce $73,400,945. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $315. Baton Rouge, on nearby dollars, carries fewer lines. Milwaukee’s file is a volume book on this extract.
Madison is a separate Wisconsin city hub. Waukesha, Brookfield, and Racine are other city strings. They are not inside $73,400,945 unless the filer typed MILWAUKEE. Milwaukee County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.
Office addresses can share the Milwaukee city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 232,633 lines are receipts, not unique persons.
Milwaukee is not Wisconsin
State WI on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $73,400,945 into a statewide total. Madison keeps its own hub. Adding the two and calling the sum “Wisconsin” is a recode this packet does not publish.
Keep MILWAUKEE, WI as the citation. Recheck $73,400,945 and 232,633 on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions
- What is Milwaukee’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
- Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city MILWAUKEE, WI total $73,400,945 across 232,633 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Milwaukee residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
- How should I read Milwaukee’s 232,633 contributions?
- LobbyVault counts 232,633 itemized lines for MILWAUKEE, WI. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $73,400,945. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 232,633 should not be quoted as a Milwaukee population of donors.
- Does Milwaukee’s total include Madison or Waukesha?
- No, unless the filer typed MILWAUKEE. Madison is a separate city hub. Waukesha and Brookfield are other city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $73,400,945 is the MILWAUKEE, WI match. The 232,633 lines follow the same rule. Statewide labels are not an FEC dimension on this Milwaukee hub.
- Where do the Milwaukee facts come from?
- Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $73,400,945 and 232,633 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Wisconsin non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $315 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
