BATON ROUGE, LA: $73.6M on 158,797 FEC receipts

Capital city string, federal receipts

Divide $73,570,268 by 158,797 and the average itemized line is about $463. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no distribution, so $463 is not a typical Baton Rouge household gift.

New Orleans is a separate city hub. Lafayette, Metairie, and Shreveport are other Louisiana strings. They are not inside $73,570,268 unless the filer typed BATON ROUGE. East Baton Rouge Parish is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

A state-capital office address can share the city field with household streets, including a PAC or joint-fundraising listing. LobbyVault does not split those rows. The 158,797 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Baton Rouge is not Louisiana

State LA on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $73,570,268 into a statewide total. Other Louisiana cities keep their own hubs.

Keep BATON ROUGE, LA as the citation. Recheck $73,570,268 and 158,797 on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. Recoding Baton Rouge into a Census place or a parish map would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing capital-area ZIPs can diverge from $73,570,268 when some receipts used another city label. The 158,797-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

Louisiana state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $73,570,268 and outside 158,797. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

A Baton Rouge citation that names FEC.gov and prints $73,570,268 without 158,797 is incomplete. The line count is how a reader sees a mid-volume capital book, mean near $463, not Louisiana. Parish maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Baton Rouge’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Baton Rouge receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Louisiana state filings remain outside $73,570,268 and 158,797.
