DAYTON, OH: $35.7M on 104,914 FEC receipts

Dayton’s volume versus Toledo’s dollars

One hundred four thousand nine hundred fourteen lines produce $35,725,641. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $341. Toledo, Ohio, is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Dayton has more receipts and fewer dollars. Those are two separate Ohio city keys. Do not add them.

Kettering, Beavercreek, and Fairborn are other nearby city strings. They are not inside $35,725,641 unless the filer typed DAYTON. Montgomery County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Not Cincinnati and not an installation census

Cincinnati keeps a separate Ohio hub. FEC.gov stored a city string, not an employer. Recoding Dayton into a federal-installation map would be a different product. This packet publishes DAYTON, OH: $35,725,641 and 104,914 lines.

Office addresses can share the city field. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 104,914 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 Dayton-area ZIPs will not reproduce $35,725,641 when some receipts used Kettering or another label.

The 104,914-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 $35,725,641 and outside 104,914. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing DAYTON, OH

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $35,725,641 with 104,914 together. Dropping the line count hides a mean near $341 and a thicker book than Toledo on fewer dollars.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Dayton receipt matters. Akron remains a different Ohio hub.

How to use the Dayton hub

Start on the live Dayton city page. $35,725,641 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 104,914 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Kettering, Beavercreek, or Fairborn as the “real” Miami Valley address. Filers typed DAYTON. LobbyVault indexed DAYTON. Montgomery County is useful for maps. It is not an FEC dimension on this hub. A mean near $341 is only $35,725,641 divided by 104,914. It is not a typical Dayton household gift and not a typical installation-employee gift. Occupation is a different FEC field. Party is not in this packet. Do not infer turnout. Toledo is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Dayton has more receipts and fewer dollars. Akron is $33,965,445 across 83,436 lines. Cincinnati keeps its own hub. Do not add those pairs.

Cite the pair in one sentence: contributor city DAYTON, OH, $35,725,641, 104,914 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 Dayton 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. 104,914 is not a unique-donor census. $35,725,641 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live Dayton hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. ZIP pages split a different field. Keep OH on the key. An employer or installation name does not convert the city key.

Dayton’s pair on this extract is $35,725,641 and 104,914 lines, mean near $341. Print both. Toledo is $40,980,294 across 64,392 lines. Akron is $33,965,445 across 83,436 lines. Cincinnati remains another Ohio hub. Kettering, Beavercreek, and Fairborn remain other nearby strings. Montgomery County is orientation. Ohio state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 104,914 without adding unique persons. The live Dayton FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city DAYTON, OH with both packet numbers.
