AKRON, OH: $34.0M on 83,436 FEC receipts

Akron beside Cleveland, not inside it

Eighty-three thousand four hundred thirty-six lines produce $33,965,445. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $407. Dayton, Ohio, is $35,725,641 across 104,914 lines. Toledo is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Those are three Ohio city keys. Akron’s pair stands alone.

Cuyahoga Falls, Fairlawn, and Barberton are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $33,965,445 unless the filer typed AKRON. Summit County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Not a Cleveland metro recode

Cleveland keeps a separate Ohio hub. Recoding Akron into a northeast-Ohio sum would mix keys. This packet publishes AKRON, OH only: $33,965,445 and 83,436 lines.

Office addresses can share the city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 83,436 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Akron-area ZIPs will not reproduce $33,965,445 when some receipts used Cuyahoga Falls or another label.

The 83,436-line count follows the city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

Ohio state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts sit outside $33,965,445 and outside 83,436. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing AKRON, OH

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $33,965,445 with 83,436 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $407.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Akron receipt matters. Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo remain other Ohio hubs.

How to use the Akron hub

Start on the live Akron city page. $33,965,445 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 83,436 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Cuyahoga Falls, Fairlawn, or Barberton as the “real” Summit County address. Filers typed AKRON. LobbyVault indexed AKRON. Summit County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $407 is only $33,965,445 divided by 83,436. It is not a typical Akron household gift. Occupation, recipient, and party live on other FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Cleveland keeps a separate Ohio hub. Dayton is $35,725,641 across 104,914 lines. Toledo is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Do not add those pairs to Akron.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city AKRON, OH, $33,965,445, 83,436 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 Akron receipt that needs a line-by-line check. Ohio 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. 83,436 is not a unique-donor census. $33,965,445 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Akron hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep OH on the key. Northeast-Ohio metro language does not replace the city field.

Akron’s pair on this extract is $33,965,445 and 83,436 lines, mean near $407. Print both. Dayton is $35,725,641 across 104,914 lines. Toledo is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Cleveland remains another Ohio hub. Cuyahoga Falls, Fairlawn, and Barberton remain other nearby strings. Summit County is orientation. Ohio state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 83,436 without adding unique persons. The live Akron FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city AKRON, OH with both packet numbers. Keep OH on the key; northeast-Ohio metro language does not replace the city field.

Questions

What does LobbyVault show for Akron federal contributions?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city AKRON, OH total $33,965,445 across 83,436 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Akron residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is 83,436 the number of Akron donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 83,436 itemized contribution lines for AKRON, OH. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding people. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $33,965,445.

Does Akron’s total include Cleveland or Canton?

No, unless the filer typed AKRON. Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo are separate Ohio city hubs. $33,965,445 is the AKRON, OH match. The 83,436 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

How current is Akron’s $33,965,445 figure?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $33,965,445 and 83,436 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Ohio non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
