Federal contributions listing Brooklyn, NY
Brooklyn, NY appears as the contributor city on $223,850,174 in federal receipts across 811,689 FEC itemizations. Those totals come from Federal Election Commission filings compiled on LobbyVault. Brooklyn is stored as its own city string, not as a slice of the New York, NY hub. The city field is still the address the committee put on the itemization, which can be a household street or a committee office. Those two FEC.gov facts—$223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations—are the entire numeric claim this Brooklyn guide makes.
Key figures

- Those dollars sit on 811,689 contribution records.

Why Brooklyn is not inside the New York city total
FEC city is free text. Records that say BROOKLYN are stored under that label. Records that say NEW YORK are stored under a different hub. This page covers the 811,689 itemizations labeled Brooklyn, NY, summing to $223,850,174. LobbyVault does not silently merge the five boroughs. A researcher who wants a combined city picture must add the other labels by design.
That split is disclosure mechanics, not a claim about civic identity. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents. Read $223,850,174 as tagged federal receipts on the Brooklyn city string, not as a census of Brooklyn residents who donated. The 811,689 lines are disclosed receipts, not unique persons.
Nothing on this page estimates how Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index. The two facts to carry are $223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations.
A high line count on the Brooklyn string
Eight hundred eleven thousand six hundred eighty-nine itemizations is a thick file relative to the dollar total. That pattern usually means many separate receipts, including smaller individual contributions, rather than a short list of oversized transfers. Committee receipts that list a Brooklyn address still sit in the same column. This page keeps both types.
Spelling variants can still siphon records. A committee that typed New York for a Brooklyn street would land on the other hub. The 811,689 figure is the literal BROOKLYN match. Matching another publisher’s “New York City” number requires seeing which borough labels they included.
New York state and city campaign accounts are not inside $223,850,174. This hub is federal itemizations labeled Brooklyn, NY: 811,689 records. A five-borough briefing that blends New York, NY is a different object unless that label is added on purpose. Keep this page’s two facts unchanged when you cite it.
ZIP codes inside the Brooklyn rollup
Postal codes on the same FEC lines split the borough by five-digit code. The city hub still reports $223,850,174 and 811,689 contributions. ZIP pages regroup those filings without adding party preference or legal conclusions. A ZIP that hosts committee offices can look large relative to overnight population.
If a news chart disagrees with this page, check whether the other source merged Brooklyn into New York, filtered to individuals only, or limited the date range. This rollup keeps every loaded itemization whose city field is Brooklyn, NY.
What this page does not claim
Nothing here estimates how Brooklyn voted or which candidates receipts supported. Occupation, employer, and recipient committee live on other FEC fields. State and city campaign accounts use different disclosure systems and are not mixed into these two facts. The defining pair remains $223,850,174 and 811,689 records listing Brooklyn, NY.
Brooklyn’s status as a borough does not merge it into the New York city hub in the FEC file. This page is $223,850,174 and 811,689 itemizations labeled BROOKLYN. That split is the first fact a researcher should carry. Household streets and committee offices still share the city field on those lines.
