ST. LOUIS, MO: $20.0M on 67,270 FEC receipts

67,270 lines carrying $20,025,083

The headline pair is $20,025,083 and 67,270 lines. The implied average is about $298. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the ST. LOUIS book. St. Louis filers typed ST. LOUIS with state MO.

This page is the period spelling ST. LOUIS—dot after ST—not the space-only ST LOUIS twin. The no-period book is a different FEC city key with a different dollar total. Do not add the two pages. Keep the period in the citation. 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. Read $20,025,083 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of ST. LOUIS gave. The 67,270 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints ST. LOUIS together with ST LOUIS without a period, Clayton, and East St. Louis, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $20,025,083 on 67,270 ST. LOUIS, MO rows, mean near $298. Keep the stored spelling ST. LOUIS in the citation.

Why ST. LOUIS on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in St. Louis give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city ST. LOUIS, MO total $20,025,083 across 67,270 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is the stored string ST. LOUIS with a period and state MO: 67,270 lines and $20,025,083. The no-period ST LOUIS row is a different city key. Do not add the two totals.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $20,025,083. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $298 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the ST. LOUIS itemized book

$20,025,083 is not spending by ST. LOUIS candidates. A candidate who lives in ST. LOUIS can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged ST. LOUIS, MO can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with ST LOUIS without a period, Clayton, and East St. Louis is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $20,025,083 counts rows that stored ST. LOUIS, MO. 67,270 lines. About $298 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. MO state-office receipts are omitted.

ST. LOUIS versus the ST LOUIS (no period) twin on the FEC tape

ST. LOUIS is the period-spelling twin, not a metro merge. 67,270 lines produce $20,025,083, a mean near $298. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to the ST LOUIS (no period) twin is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A ST. LOUIS total of $20,025,083 does not absorb ST LOUIS without a period, Clayton, and East St. Louis. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State MO stays on the citation so ST. LOUIS, MO is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in MO state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in MO

67,270 city-field lines can spread across many ZIPs or cluster in a few. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the ZIP directory and the live ST. LOUIS hub rather than guessing the split. After an amendment wave, recheck both the city hub and any ZIP you compared. Snapshots drift independently.

Because this packet carries only city, state, dollar total, and contribution count, every other story about ST. LOUIS politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field: $20,025,083 and 67,270.

Source tables for $20,025,083

A mean of about $298 is division of $20,025,083 by 67,270. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of ST. LOUIS. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the ST. LOUIS city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

ST. LOUIS’s $20,025,083 across 67,270 contributions is a St. Louis city field, mean near $298. ST LOUIS without a period is a neighboring string, not a subset. St. Louis is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $20,025,083 with 67,270 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city ST. LOUIS, MO?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city ST. LOUIS, MO total $20,025,083 across 67,270 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 ST. LOUIS. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $298 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is ST. LOUIS the same as ST LOUIS on FEC reports?

This extract is the stored string ST. LOUIS with a period and state MO: 67,270 lines and $20,025,083. The no-period ST LOUIS row is a different city key. Do not add the two totals. LobbyVault counts 67,270 itemized contributions for ST. LOUIS, MO against $20,025,083. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 67,270 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the ST. LOUIS total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed ST. LOUIS with state MO. Office addresses and mail that list ST. LOUIS can be part of $20,025,083 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 67,270-line count follows the same rule.

Are ST. LOUIS numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $20,025,083 and 67,270 lines for ST. LOUIS, MO. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from MO are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
