LOUISVILLE, KY: $126.0M on 349,376 FEC receipts

The LOUISVILLE, KY contributor-city book

349,376 itemized contributions produced $125,985,924 under the LOUISVILLE, KY city key. About $361 per line follows from division. Repeat givers can lengthen 349,376 without adding new people; this packet has no unique-donor figure.

State KY on the same row keeps LOUISVILLE, KY distinct from same-named cities elsewhere. The Ohio River city is a place label on receipts. Kentucky state-office money is a different disclosure system. 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.

Readers who live near Jeffersonville or New Albany still need the city string as filed. A Louisville mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. LOUISVILLE, KY sums to $125,985,924 on 349,376 lines (about $361 each). St. Matthews remains outside that pair.

Volume and average on the Louisville book

Louisville sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $361 from $125,985,924 divided by 349,376. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

The shape is two numbers. $125,985,924 without 349,376 looks like a single pile of money. 349,376 without $125,985,924 looks like a turnout figure. Together they are an itemized city book.

Federal itemized only: the KY city caveat

Refunds, redesignations, and amendments can move both dollars and the 349,376-line count after this snapshot. Treat the figures as currently indexed, not as a closed book.

Researchers who need names should open the Louisville FEC page rather than dividing $125,985,924 by a guessed household count.

Louisville versus Jeffersonville is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. New Albany and St. Matthews follow the same rule. Quote $125,985,924 and 349,376 for LOUISVILLE, KY only. The mean near $361 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

City string versus people who live in Louisville

349,376 is a line count. Households that give twice, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows. Without a unique-donor field in this packet, do not quote 349,376 as a population of Louisville donors.

The all-cities directory ranks the same series. Compare line counts as filing shape, not as a claim that one city is more politically active. FEC.gov does not score activity.

Annexation stories about Jeffersonville, New Albany, or St. Matthews do not rewrite $125,985,924. FEC city strings do not auto-follow city-limit changes. 349,376 contributions tagged LOUISVILLE, KY stay on this page until a filer types a different city. About $361 per line is still division.

Where Louisville rows split by ZIP

City and ZIP are different FEC fields. A row can carry city LOUISVILLE, KY and a ZIP that readers associate with a neighbor. Both fields are stored as filed. LobbyVault’s city page sums the city field.

The all-cities directory is the ranking view of the same city series. Louisville’s 349,376 lines are comparable to other cities only as filing volume, not as turnout.

Line count 349,376 and dollars $125,985,924 should move together in a reader’s notes. If a later story quotes only one, check the hub. An amendment can change either figure. Snapshot prose cannot update itself.

If a newsroom map paints Louisville together with Jeffersonville and New Albany, the FEC file still splits them. St. Matthews too. This extract’s only city total is $125,985,924 on 349,376 LOUISVILLE, KY rows, mean near $361.

Live hub versus this Louisville snapshot

The Louisville FEC page holds the live $125,985,924 and 349,376 as currently indexed. The all-cities directory ranks other city strings. The ZIP directory opens a different field. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls.

If you quote $125,985,924, quote 349,376 in the same breath. A dollar total without a line count hides whether Louisville is a volume book or a concentration book.

Louisville’s FEC string is LOUISVILLE, KY. Jefferson County, Kentucky, is orientation. Jeffersonville, Indiana, across the river is another state and another city key. Do not fold southern Indiana rows into $125,985,924 because the metro name sounds shared. The 349,376 contributions are itemized federal lines tagged Louisville as typed. Kentucky state-office money is a different disclosure system and is omitted. A mean near $361 describes the average row, not a West End or East End split — this packet has no neighborhood field. ZIP pages can cut the same series more finely without replacing the city total. Cite $125,985,924 and 349,376 together from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Louisville federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LOUISVILLE, KY total $125,985,924 across 349,376 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 Louisville. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How should I read the 349,376 figure for LOUISVILLE, KY?

LobbyVault counts 349,376 itemized contributions for LOUISVILLE, KY. 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 349,376 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $125,985,924.

What city field does FEC use for Louisville?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LOUISVILLE with state KY. Office addresses and mail that list Louisville can be part of $125,985,924 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 349,376-line count follows the same rule.

How current is the $125,985,924 total for Louisville?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $125,985,924 and 349,376 lines for LOUISVILLE, KY. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from KY are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $361 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
