SUMMIT, NJ: $37.5M on 67,315 FEC receipts

Summit’s 67,315-line book

Sixty-seven thousand three hundred fifteen lines produce $37,512,706. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $557. Short Hills, Chatham, and New Providence are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $37,512,706 unless the filer typed SUMMIT.

Union County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $37,512,706 is the SUMMIT match only. The 67,315 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not Newark and not a New York recode

Newark keeps a separate New Jersey hub. New York City borough strings are other FEC city keys. This packet does not fold Summit into a commuter story. It publishes SUMMIT, NJ: $37,512,706 and 67,315 lines.

A committee address can share the city field. A PAC or joint-fundraising row counts if the filer typed SUMMIT. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. SUMMIT plus NJ is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Watchung-range metro label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing 07901-area ZIPs can diverge from $37,512,706 when some receipts used another town label. The 67,315-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Summit aggregate

New Jersey state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $37,512,706 and outside 67,315. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing SUMMIT, NJ

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $37,512,706 with 67,315 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $557.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Summit receipt matters. Keep NJ on the key.

How to use the Summit hub

Start on the live Summit city page. $37,512,706 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 67,315 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Short Hills, Chatham, or New Providence as the “real” Union County address. Filers typed SUMMIT. LobbyVault indexed SUMMIT. Union County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $557 is only $37,512,706 divided by 67,315. It is not a typical Summit household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Newark is a different New Jersey city string. New York City borough strings are other FEC city keys. Neither belongs in $37,512,706.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city SUMMIT, NJ, $37,512,706, 67,315 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named Summit receipt that needs a line-by-line check. New Jersey non-federal filings never enter either fact. Unitemized federal gifts never enter either fact. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. 67,315 is not a unique-donor census. $37,512,706 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Summit hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep NJ on the key. Commuter-rail language does not replace the city field.

Summit’s pair on this extract is $37,512,706 and 67,315 lines, mean near $557. Print both. Short Hills, Chatham, and New Providence remain other nearby strings. Newark remains a separate New Jersey hub. Union County is orientation. New York City borough strings remain other FEC keys. New Jersey state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 67,315 without adding unique persons. The live Summit FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city SUMMIT, NJ with both packet numbers. Keep NJ on the key; commuter-rail language does not replace the city field.

Questions

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SUMMIT, NJ total $37,512,706 across 67,315 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Summit residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Does Summit’s total include Short Hills or Newark?

No, unless the filer typed SUMMIT. Short Hills, Chatham, and Newark are separate city hubs. $37,512,706 is the SUMMIT, NJ match. The 67,315 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
