LEXINGTON, KY: $55.1M on 165,717 FEC receipts

Lexington, Kentucky, not Lexington, Massachusetts

Divide $55,085,832 by 165,717 and the average itemized line is about $332. Lexington, MA, on a larger dollar total, carries 112,051 lines and a higher mean. Kentucky’s Lexington is the thicker, lower-mean book of the two same-named hubs.

Louisville is a separate Kentucky city hub. Nicholasville, Georgetown, and Frankfort are other strings. They are not inside $55,085,832 unless the filer typed LEXINGTON. Fayette County is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

A PAC or joint-fundraising committee that listed Lexington can share the city field with household streets. LobbyVault does not recode those rows. The 165,717 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Same name, different state key

Lexington, MA has its own dollar and line pair. Adding the two and calling the sum “Lexington” would mix states. Keep LEXINGTON, KY as the citation: $55,085,832 and 165,717 lines.

Do not add Lexington to Louisville and call the result “Kentucky.” Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. Recoding Lexington into a Census place or a merged Fayette County map would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Bluegrass ZIPs can straddle Lexington and neighboring towns. Do not expect ZIP sums to equal $55,085,832. The 165,717-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

Kentucky state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $55,085,832 and outside 165,717. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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