NEW CANAAN, CT: $39.8M on 61,577 FEC receipts

New Canaan beside Darien, not inside it

Sixty-one thousand five hundred seventy-seven lines produce $39,802,627. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $646. Darien is a neighboring Connecticut city string with its own hub. New Canaan’s $39,802,627 does not include Darien unless the filer typed NEW CANAAN.

Westport and Greenwich are other Fairfield labels. They stay off this page. Fairfield County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

The city key is the whole name

NEW CANAAN plus CT is the stored string. Shortening it to Canaan, or folding it into Stamford, would be a recode. This packet publishes $39,802,627 and 61,577 lines for NEW CANAAN, CT only.

Committee streets can share the city field. A PAC or joint-fundraising address is in the total if the filer typed NEW CANAAN. The 61,577 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. FEC.gov stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing New Canaan ZIPs will not automatically equal $39,802,627 if some receipts used another town label.

The 61,577-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What sits outside the pair

Connecticut state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $39,802,627 and outside 61,577. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing NEW CANAAN, CT

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $39,802,627 with 61,577 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $646.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named New Canaan receipt matters. Do not add Darien’s dollars to this pair.

How researchers should use the New Canaan hub

Start on the live New Canaan city page. $39,802,627 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 61,577 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Darien, Westport, or Greenwich as the “real” Fairfield town. Filers typed NEW CANAAN. LobbyVault indexed NEW CANAAN. Fairfield County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $646 is only $39,802,627 divided by 61,577. It is not a typical New Canaan household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Darien’s pair on this extract is $39,856,288 across 63,222 lines. That is a neighboring hub, not a component of $39,802,627.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city NEW CANAAN, CT, $39,802,627, 61,577 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 New Canaan receipt that needs a line-by-line check. Connecticut 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. 61,577 is not a unique-donor census. Quote $39,802,627 with 61,577. The live New Canaan hub is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. ZIP pages split a different field. Do not add Darien or Westport dollars to this pair. Keep the two-word city string intact in the citation.

New Canaan’s pair on this extract is $39,802,627 and 61,577 lines, mean near $646. Print both. Darien is $39,856,288 across 63,222 lines. Westport is $38,298,451 across 76,557 lines. Those hubs stay separate. Greenwich remains another Connecticut hub. Fairfield County is orientation. Connecticut state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 61,577 without adding unique persons. The live New Canaan FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city NEW CANAAN, CT with both packet numbers. Keep the two-word city intact.

Questions

What is New Canaan’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city NEW CANAAN, CT total $39,802,627 across 61,577 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of New Canaan residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read New Canaan’s 61,577 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 61,577 itemized lines for NEW CANAAN, 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 $39,802,627.

Does New Canaan’s total include Darien or Greenwich?

Only if the filer typed NEW CANAAN. Darien, Westport, and Greenwich are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $39,802,627 is the NEW CANAAN, CT match. The 61,577 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
