LEAWOOD, KS: $22.6M on 57,837 FEC receipts

57,837 lines carrying $22,572,600

The headline pair is $22,572,600 and 57,837 lines. The implied average is about $390. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the LEAWOOD book. Johnson County filers typed LEAWOOD with state KS.

Leawood is a Kansas-side Johnson County suburb. Overland Park is a different FEC city key even though news maps treat them as one metro. Missouri-side Kansas City rows are stored under MO, not under LEAWOOD, KS. 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. Read $22,572,600 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of LEAWOOD gave. The 57,837 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints LEAWOOD together with Overland Park, Prairie Village, and Mission Hills, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,572,600 on 57,837 LEAWOOD, KS rows, mean near $390. Keep the stored spelling LEAWOOD in the citation.

Why LEAWOOD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Leawood give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city LEAWOOD, KS total $22,572,600 across 57,837 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. Kansas City, MO is a different state-and-city key. Overland Park is a separate Johnson County string.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,572,600. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $390 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the LEAWOOD itemized book

$22,572,600 is not spending by LEAWOOD candidates. A candidate who lives in LEAWOOD can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged LEAWOOD, KS can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Overland Park, Prairie Village, and Mission Hills is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $22,572,600 counts rows that stored LEAWOOD, KS. 57,837 lines. About $390 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. KS state-office receipts are omitted.

LEAWOOD versus Kansas City, MO on the FEC tape

LEAWOOD is a suburban mid-volume book. 57,837 lines produce $22,572,600, a mean near $390. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Kansas City, MO is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A LEAWOOD total of $22,572,600 does not absorb Overland Park, Prairie Village, and Mission Hills. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State KS stays on the citation so LEAWOOD, KS is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in KS state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in KS

57,837 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live LEAWOOD hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about LEAWOOD politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $22,572,600 and 57,837.

Source tables for $22,572,600

A mean of about $390 is division of $22,572,600 by 57,837. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of LEAWOOD. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the LEAWOOD city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

LEAWOOD’s $22,572,600 across 57,837 contributions is a Johnson County city field, mean near $390. Overland Park is a neighboring string, not a subset. Johnson County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $22,572,600 with 57,837 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city LEAWOOD, KS?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LEAWOOD, KS total $22,572,600 across 57,837 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 Leawood. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $390 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Does Leawood’s total include Kansas City, Missouri?

Kansas City, MO is a different state-and-city key. Overland Park is a separate Johnson County string. LobbyVault counts 57,837 itemized contributions for LEAWOOD, KS against $22,572,600. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 57,837 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Leawood total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LEAWOOD with state KS. Office addresses and mail that list Leawood can be part of $22,572,600 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 57,837-line count follows the same rule.

Are Leawood numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,572,600 and 57,837 lines for LEAWOOD, KS. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from KS are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
