HUNTSVILLE, AL: $36.7M on 96,073 FEC receipts

Huntsville beside Montgomery, not inside it

Ninety-six thousand seventy-three lines produce $36,682,086. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $382. Montgomery, Alabama, is a separate hub on this extract: $39,640,509 across 106,362 lines. Filers typed two cities. LobbyVault indexed two books. Do not add the pairs.

Madison and Decatur are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $36,682,086 unless the filer typed HUNTSVILLE. Madison County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

City string, not an installation census

FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Huntsville into a federal-installation map would be a different product. This page does not recode. It publishes HUNTSVILLE, AL: $36,682,086 and 96,073 lines.

Office addresses can share the city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 96,073 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Huntsville-area ZIPs will not reproduce $36,682,086 when some receipts used Madison or another label.

The 96,073-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

Alabama state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $36,682,086 and outside 96,073. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how Huntsville voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing HUNTSVILLE, AL

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $36,682,086 with 96,073 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $382.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Huntsville receipt matters. Montgomery remains a different Alabama hub.

How to use the Huntsville hub

Start on the live Huntsville city page. $36,682,086 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 96,073 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Madison, Decatur, or Montgomery as the “real” Alabama address. Filers typed HUNTSVILLE. LobbyVault indexed HUNTSVILLE. Madison County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $382 is only $36,682,086 divided by 96,073. It is not a typical Huntsville household gift and not a typical installation-employee gift. Occupation is a different FEC field. An employer on a receipt does not convert the city key. Party is not in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Montgomery is $39,640,509 across 106,362 lines. Mobile is $33,896,317 across 84,161 lines. Those hubs stay separate.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city HUNTSVILLE, AL, $36,682,086, 96,073 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Huntsville receipt that needs a line-by-line check. Alabama non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 96,073 is not a unique-donor census. $36,682,086 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Huntsville hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep AL on the key. Do not add Montgomery’s dollars to this pair.

Huntsville’s pair on this extract is $36,682,086 and 96,073 lines, mean near $382. Print both. Montgomery is $39,640,509 across 106,362 lines. Mobile is $33,896,317 across 84,161 lines. Madison and Decatur remain other nearby strings. Madison County is orientation. An installation name is an employer field, not a city field. Alabama state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 96,073 without adding unique persons. The live Huntsville FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city HUNTSVILLE, AL with both packet numbers.
