DARIEN, CT: $39.9M on 63,222 FEC receipts

Darien’s pair on the Connecticut shore

Sixty-three thousand two hundred twenty-two lines produce $39,856,288. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $630. New Canaan and Westport are other Connecticut city strings on this extract; they are not inside Darien’s total unless the filer typed DARIEN.

Norwalk and Stamford are neighboring labels. Fairfield County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $39,856,288 is the DARIEN match only.

Not Greenwich and not a New York recode

Greenwich keeps a separate Connecticut hub. New York City borough strings are other FEC city keys. This packet does not fold Darien into a commuter-rail story. It publishes DARIEN, CT: $39,856,288 and 63,222 lines.

A committee address can share the Darien city field. One mention is enough: a PAC or joint-fundraising row counts if the filer typed DARIEN. The 63,222 lines remain receipts, not unique persons.

City field, not the postal map

Filers type a city. FEC.gov stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing 06820-area ZIPs will not automatically equal $39,856,288 if some receipts used another city label.

The 63,222-line count follows the city field, not the employer field and not a Census place code.

What the Darien table leaves out

Connecticut state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $39,856,288 and outside 63,222. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing DARIEN, CT

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $39,856,288 with 63,222 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $630.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Darien receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Darien hub

Start on the live Darien city page. $39,856,288 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 63,222 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Greenwich or Westport as the “real” Fairfield town.

A mean near $630 is only $39,856,288 divided by 63,222. It is not a typical household gift. Party is not in the packet. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot.

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city DARIEN, CT, $39,856,288, and 63,222 lines. The mean near $630 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical gift from a household, a commuter, or a downtown office. New Canaan, Westport, and Greenwich stay off this page unless the filer typed DARIEN. Connecticut state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page. Fairfield County is orientation, not a roll-up. A high line count can include repeat givers. 63,222 is not a unique-donor census. $39,856,288 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Darien hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Darien receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. Occupation lives on other FEC fields.

Darien’s pair is $39,856,288 and 63,222 lines. Print both. Greenwich stays on its own hub. Westport stays on its own hub. New Canaan stays on its own hub. County language does not replace the city field. The live table on the Darien FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Connecticut non-federal filings never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. Cite contributor city DARIEN, CT, the dollar total, the line count, and FEC.gov in one sentence. If a later extract moves the pair, discard this snapshot. Do not add neighboring Fairfield totals to $39,856,288.

Darien’s pair on this extract is $39,856,288 and 63,222 lines, mean near $630. Print both. New Canaan is $39,802,627 across 61,577 lines on its own hub. Westport is $38,298,451 across 76,557 lines on its own hub. Greenwich remains another Connecticut hub. Fairfield County is orientation. Connecticut state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 63,222 without adding unique persons. The live Darien FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city DARIEN, CT with both packet numbers.

Questions

What is Darien’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city DARIEN, CT total $39,856,288 across 63,222 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Darien residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Darien’s 63,222 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 63,222 itemized lines for DARIEN, CT. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $39,856,288.

Does Darien’s total include Greenwich or New Canaan?

Only if the filer typed DARIEN. Greenwich, New Canaan, and Westport are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $39,856,288 is the DARIEN, CT match. The 63,222 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Darien facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $39,856,288 and 63,222 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Connecticut non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
