TAMPA, FL: $101.9M on 293,890 FEC receipts

$101,922,580 is a Schedule A city total

FEC.gov indexed 293,890 itemized rows to contributor city TAMPA, FL. Their sum is $101,922,580. The mean near $347 describes the average row, not a household and not a census tract.

Hillsborough County’s Tampa string is not St. Petersburg. Adjacent Florida cities have their own FEC keys. The 293,890-line count is a contribution-line total. It is not a headcount of Tampa residents. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.

A Tampa total of $101,922,580 does not absorb St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or Brandon. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State FL stays on the citation so TAMPA, FL is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. The 293,890 lines and the mean near $347 describe this key only.

How to read the FL city key for Tampa

City-name spelling is part of the key. TAMPA with state FL is the unit. A close spelling, a neighborhood abbreviation, or a merged metro label is a different aggregate if FEC stored it differently.

Independent expenditures that mention a Tampa race can be paid by a committee with a different city on its own reports. Those disbursements do not move $101,922,580. Keep independent-expenditure tables separate from this city total.

Using ZIP pages without breaking $101,922,580

If a ZIP page and the Tampa city page disagree in implied geography, that is expected. They answer different questions: five-digit code versus city string.

Named receipts on the Tampa FEC page are the next click for researchers who need committee names. This guide does not invent those names.

The Tampa city key will not absorb nearby towns because a map looks contiguous. Annexation, CDPs, and neighborhood names are not auto-merged. TAMPA, FL is the filed string. $101,922,580 belongs to that string alone in this extract.

Keep St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon off the Tampa citation unless the receipt actually stored those cities. $101,922,580 is the TAMPA, FL string alone. 293,890 itemized rows and about $347 per row are the shape of that string, not of the metro map.

Volume and average on the Tampa book

Tampa sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $347 from $101,922,580 divided by 293,890. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

High means can come from a few large lines. Low means can come from many modest lines. This packet has no top-line list, so neither story can be proven here.

Metro shorthand that folds St. Petersburg or Clearwater into Tampa is a recode. FEC.gov stored TAMPA, FL. $101,922,580 across 293,890 contributions, mean near $347, belongs to that spelling. Brandon is a different key if it appears as the city field.

Do not stretch $101,922,580 past FEC.gov

This packet has no unique-donor count, no employer roll-up, and no party split. Anything in that list, if quoted as a fact about Tampa, is not from this extract.

Cycle windows on the live hub may be rebuilt. This prose will not silently rewrite $101,922,580 after you load the page.

Readers who live near St. Petersburg or Clearwater still need the city string as filed. A Tampa mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. TAMPA, FL sums to $101,922,580 on 293,890 lines (about $347 each). Brandon remains outside that pair.

What a careful Tampa sentence includes

Keep 293,890 as a contribution-line total. Researchers who need persons must match names on the city hub rather than treating the line count as a headcount.

The overlay target for this copy is the Tampa city hub. The guide URL is a standalone citation page that points back to that hub.

Tampa’s $101,922,580 across 293,890 contributions is the TAMPA city key, not Tampa Bay as a region. St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Brandon are different strings. Hillsborough County is orientation, not a roll-up. A mean near $347 is the average itemized row. It is not a split between South Tampa and the rest of the map — no neighborhood field is in this packet. Florida state-office filings are omitted. Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Palm Beach are other Florida keys, each with their own books. Cite $101,922,580 and 293,890 together. If an amendment reprint changes either number, the live Tampa hub wins.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to Tampa, FL?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city TAMPA, FL total $101,922,580 across 293,890 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Tampa. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to Tampa?

LobbyVault counts 293,890 itemized contributions for TAMPA, FL. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 293,890 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $101,922,580.

Does the Tampa total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed TAMPA with state FL. Office addresses and mail that list Tampa can be part of $101,922,580 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 293,890-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get Tampa totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $101,922,580 and 293,890 lines for TAMPA, FL. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from FL are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $347 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
