MOBILE, AL: $33.9M on 84,161 FEC receipts

Mobile’s Gulf book beside the capital

Eighty-four thousand one hundred sixty-one lines produce $33,896,317. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $403. Montgomery is $39,640,509 across 106,362 lines. Huntsville is $36,682,086 across 96,073 lines. Those are three Alabama city keys. Mobile’s pair is the Gulf Coast book, not a statewide sum.

Daphne, Fairhope, and Prichard are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $33,896,317 unless the filer typed MOBILE. Mobile County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Not Mississippi and not a port-employer census

Gulfport is a Mississippi city string. FEC.gov stored a city, not an employer. Recoding Mobile into a port map would be a different product. This packet publishes MOBILE, AL: $33,896,317 and 84,161 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 84,161 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 Mobile-area ZIPs will not reproduce $33,896,317 when some receipts used Daphne or another label.

The 84,161-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 $33,896,317 and outside 84,161. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing MOBILE, AL

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $33,896,317 with 84,161 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $403.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Mobile receipt matters. Montgomery and Huntsville remain other Alabama hubs.

How to use the Mobile hub

Start on the live Mobile city page. $33,896,317 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 84,161 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Daphne, Fairhope, or Prichard as the “real” Gulf address. Filers typed MOBILE. LobbyVault indexed MOBILE. Mobile County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $403 is only $33,896,317 divided by 84,161. It is not a typical Mobile household gift and not a typical port-employer 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. Huntsville is $36,682,086 across 96,073 lines. Gulfport is a Mississippi city string. Do not add those pairs.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city MOBILE, AL, $33,896,317, 84,161 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 Mobile 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. 84,161 is not a unique-donor census. $33,896,317 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Mobile hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep AL on the key. Gulf Coast language does not replace the city field.

Mobile’s pair on this extract is $33,896,317 and 84,161 lines, mean near $403. Print both. Montgomery is $39,640,509 across 106,362 lines. Huntsville is $36,682,086 across 96,073 lines. Daphne, Fairhope, and Prichard remain other nearby strings. Gulfport is a Mississippi city string. Mobile County is orientation. Alabama state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 84,161 without adding unique persons. The live Mobile FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city MOBILE, AL with both packet numbers.
