SILVER SPRING, MD: $66.8M on 261,856 FEC receipts

A Montgomery County volume file

Two hundred sixty-one thousand eight hundred fifty-six lines produce $66,804,144. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $255. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Potomac are other Maryland city hubs on this extract. Washington, DC is a separate city string in another jurisdiction. None of those keys sit inside $66,804,144 unless the filer typed SILVER SPRING.

Office addresses can share the Silver Spring city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 261,856 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Silver Spring is not Washington and not Bethesda

Researchers sometimes want a “capital region” sum. FEC.gov stored city and state. Adding Silver Spring to Washington or Bethesda is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep SILVER SPRING, MD as the citation. Recheck $66,804,144 and 261,856 on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. Recoding Silver Spring into a Census designated place would be a different product.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Maryland suburbs will not reproduce $66,804,144. The 261,856-line count follows the city field.

What this table omits

Maryland state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $66,804,144 and outside 261,856. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

A Silver Spring citation that names FEC.gov and prints $66,804,144 without 261,856 hides a Montgomery County volume book, mean near $255. Bethesda and Washington remain other hubs. Capital-region maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Silver Spring’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Silver Spring receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Maryland state filings remain outside $66,804,144 and 261,856.

What a Silver Spring reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city SILVER SPRING, MD, $66,804,144, and 261,856 lines. The mean near $255 is optional arithmetic. It is not a typical household gift and not a unique-donor average.

Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, and Washington stay off this page unless the filer typed SILVER SPRING. Maryland state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Capital region is a research phrase. FEC.gov stored city and state. A high line count can include repeat givers. 261,856 is not a unique-donor census. $66,804,144 is still the dollar sum of those lines.

The live Silver Spring hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Silver Spring receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field.

Silver Spring’s 261,856 lines behind $66,804,144, mean near $255, are a Montgomery County volume book. Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Potomac are other Maryland hubs. Washington, DC is another jurisdiction.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Silver Spring federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SILVER SPRING, MD total $66,804,144 across 261,856 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Silver Spring residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 261,856 the number of Silver Spring donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 261,856 itemized contribution lines for SILVER SPRING, MD. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $66,804,144. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 261,856 should not be quoted as a Silver Spring population of donors.

Does Silver Spring’s total include Bethesda or Washington, DC?

No. Bethesda is a separate Maryland city hub. Washington is a separate city string in DC. $66,804,144 is the SILVER SPRING, MD match. The 261,856 lines follow the same rule. Regional labels are not an FEC dimension on this page.

How current is Silver Spring’s $66,804,144 figure?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $66,804,144 and 261,856 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Maryland non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $255 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
