A Maryland suburb string with $158 million tagged
The $157,728,166 sum is every loaded federal itemization whose contributor city is Bethesda and whose state is MD. Four hundred sixteen thousand two hundred seventeen lines feed that total. LobbyVault does not test whether the address is an association suite or a residential street. If the committee typed Bethesda, MD, the receipt stays here. That rule keeps the hub aligned with the public file.
Washington, DC and Arlington are stored as their own city strings. They are not inside this Bethesda number. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Quoting $157,728,166 as what Bethesda residents gave describes the city field, not a residency screen. The 416,217 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.
Nothing on this page estimates how Bethesda voted, which candidates the receipts supported, or whether a listed street is a home. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The supported path is the Bethesda city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $157,728,166 and 416,217 itemizations.
A thicker file than some capital-region labels
Compared with city strings that carry large dollars on very few lines, Bethesda’s 416,217 itemizations show a thicker stack of receipts. Individual contributions and committee receipts still share one column. This page does not split those types. It reports the combined $157,728,166 and the combined line count so readers can see both facts at once.
Free-text spelling still matters. A committee that typed Chevy Chase or Rockville would not land in this hub. The 416,217 records are the literal BETHESDA match. A National Capital Region research question requires adding DC and other Maryland/Virginia labels by hand. This guide does not invent that metro sum.
Maryland state campaign accounts are not inside $157,728,166. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Bethesda, MD: 416,217 records. A Montgomery County briefing that blends Chevy Chase is a different object unless those labels are added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
ZIP codes in Montgomery County
Postal codes on the same itemizations separate office-heavy ZIPs from neighborhood ZIPs. The city page still shows $157,728,166 and 416,217 contributions. ZIP pages regroup those FEC.gov lines without adding party scores or legal findings. A ZIP that hosts several association headquarters can look large relative to overnight population.
If an outside chart disagrees, check date range, individuals-only filters, and whether the publisher rolled Bethesda into Washington. This rollup keeps every loaded itemization whose city field is Bethesda, MD.
What the Bethesda table omits
Maryland state campaign accounts and local filings are a different disclosure system. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are also outside these two facts. Occupation and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. The defining pair remains $157,728,166 and 416,217 records listing Bethesda, MD. Nothing here estimates how Bethesda voted.
