LEXINGTON, MA: $61.7M on 112,051 FEC receipts

Lexington, Massachusetts, not Lexington, Kentucky

Divide $61,747,219 by 112,051 and the average itemized line is about $551. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Weston, Wayland, Newton, and Brookline are other Massachusetts city hubs on this extract. They are not inside $61,747,219 unless the filer typed LEXINGTON. Middlesex 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 112,051 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Same name, different state key

Lexington, KY appears later on this extract with its own dollar and line pair. Adding the two and calling the sum “Lexington” would mix states. Keep LEXINGTON, MA as the citation: $61,747,219 and 112,051 lines.

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 would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. MetroWest ZIPs often straddle town labels. Do not expect ZIP sums to equal $61,747,219. The 112,051-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

Massachusetts state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $61,747,219 and outside 112,051. 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.

A Lexington, MA citation that names FEC.gov and prints $61,747,219 without 112,051, or without state MA, is incomplete. Lexington, KY is a different hub. The mean near $551 is arithmetic from the Massachusetts pair only.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Lexington, MA federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LEXINGTON, MA total $61,747,219 across 112,051 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Lexington residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is this the same as Lexington, Kentucky?

No. This hub is LEXINGTON with state MA. Lexington, KY is a separate city hub with its own totals. $61,747,219 and 112,051 lines describe the Massachusetts city string only. Cite the state with the city every time. Cite state MA with the city every time so Lexington, KY does not merge into $61,747,219.

Does Lexington, MA’s total include Weston or Newton?

No, unless the filer typed LEXINGTON. Weston, Newton, and Brookline are separate Massachusetts city hubs. $61,747,219 is the LEXINGTON, MA match. The 112,051 lines follow the same rule. Weston, Newton, and Brookline are separate Massachusetts city hubs, not inside $61,747,219.
