MONTGOMERY, AL: $39.6M on 106,362 FEC receipts

A volume book in the Alabama capital

One hundred six thousand three hundred sixty-two lines produce $39,640,509. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $373. That is a high-volume shape: many receipts, a mean in the high three-hundreds. Prattville and Wetumpka are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $39,640,509 unless the filer typed MONTGOMERY.

Huntsville and Mobile keep separate Alabama hubs on this extract. Montgomery County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $39,640,509 is the MONTGOMERY match only.

Capital city is not an FEC employer field

FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Montgomery into a state-agency map would be a different product. This page does not recode. It publishes MONTGOMERY, AL: $39,640,509 and 106,362 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 106,362 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

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 Montgomery-area ZIPs will not reproduce $39,640,509 when some receipts used Prattville or another label.

The 106,362-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an occupation field.

What this table omits

Alabama state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $39,640,509 and outside 106,362. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing MONTGOMERY, AL

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $39,640,509 with 106,362 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $373 and a volume capital-city book.

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

How to use the Montgomery hub

Start on the live Montgomery city page. $39,640,509 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 106,362 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Prattville, Wetumpka, or a capital-metro label as the “real” address. Filers typed MONTGOMERY. LobbyVault indexed MONTGOMERY. Montgomery County and “the capital” are useful for maps. They are not FEC dimensions on this hub. A mean near $373 is only $39,640,509 divided by 106,362. It is not a typical Montgomery household gift and not a typical state-office 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. Huntsville is $36,682,086 across 96,073 lines on its own hub. Mobile is $33,896,317 across 84,161 lines. Do not add those pairs to Montgomery.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city MONTGOMERY, AL, $39,640,509, 106,362 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 Montgomery 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. 106,362 is not a unique-donor census. A high line count can include repeat givers. $39,640,509 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Montgomery hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep AL on the key.

Montgomery’s pair on this extract is $39,640,509 and 106,362 lines, mean near $373. Print both. Huntsville is $36,682,086 across 96,073 lines. Mobile is $33,896,317 across 84,161 lines. Prattville and Wetumpka remain other nearby strings. Montgomery County is orientation. A capital-city label is not an FEC employer field. Alabama state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 106,362 without adding unique persons. The live Montgomery FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city MONTGOMERY, AL with both packet numbers.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Montgomery federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city MONTGOMERY, AL total $39,640,509 across 106,362 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Montgomery residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

No. LobbyVault counts 106,362 itemized contribution lines for MONTGOMERY, AL. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $39,640,509.

Does Montgomery’s total include Huntsville or Birmingham?

No, unless the filer typed MONTGOMERY. Huntsville and Mobile are separate Alabama city hubs. $39,640,509 is the MONTGOMERY, AL match. The 106,362 lines follow the same rule. County and capital-metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

How current is Montgomery’s $39,640,509 figure?
