DUBLIN, OH: $25.3M on 61,324 FEC receipts

Reading $25,257,265 as a city-string roll-up

The headline pair is $25,257,265 and 61,324 lines. The implied average is about $412. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Dublin, OH book.

Franklin and Delaware counties share the Dublin street grid on the map. The FEC key is still DUBLIN with state OH. Filers typed DUBLIN in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state OH. 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.

If a newsroom map paints Dublin together with Columbus and Worthington, the FEC file still splits them. Powell too. This extract’s only city total is $25,257,265 on 61,324 DUBLIN, OH rows, mean near $412.

Why DUBLIN, OH on the receipt is not a census of Dublin

Searchers often want “how much did people in Dublin give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city DUBLIN, OH total $25,257,265 across 61,324 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $25,257,265. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. State OH is what keeps this page off the California Dublin key.

Outside the Dublin, OH itemized book

$25,257,265 is not spending by Dublin candidates. A candidate who lives in Dublin can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged DUBLIN, OH can go to a committee anywhere.

A mean near $412 does not describe a median resident of Dublin. Means move with a few large lines.

Postal confusion with Columbus, Worthington, or Powell is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $25,257,265 counts rows that stored DUBLIN, OH. 61,324 lines. About $412 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs.

Dublin, OH versus Columbus on the FEC tape

Dublin is a mid-mean book on this extract: 61,324 lines produce $25,257,265, a mean near $412. Mid-mean is not the same as unique people.

Comparing Dublin’s mean to Columbus is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts. Mixing in Ohio state data breaks the comparison.

A Dublin total of $25,257,265 does not absorb Columbus, Worthington, or Powell. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State OH stays on the citation so DUBLIN, OH is not merged with Dublin, CA.

City total versus postal codes in OH

61,324 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 Dublin 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 Dublin 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.

Source tables for $25,257,265

A mean of about $412 is division of $25,257,265 by 61,324. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of Dublin.

Internal links on this page go only to the Dublin city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory. Those are the three paths that match this packet.

Dublin’s $25,257,265 across 61,324 contributions is a Columbus-area city field, mean near $412. Columbus, Worthington, and Powell are neighboring strings, not subsets. Repeat gifts add rows. Ohio state-office receipts are omitted. Cite $25,257,265 with 61,324 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Researchers citing Dublin, Ohio, should keep Franklin County and Columbus off the sentence unless they add those hubs on purpose. The live Dublin table can show named committees that this snapshot does not list. A later FEC extract can move $25,257,265 or 61,324 without this guide rewriting itself. Treat the mean near $412 as division only. Ohio state-office receipts sit outside both packet facts. If a ZIP page for a Dublin code disagrees with the city hub, quote both keys rather than forcing a match. Dublin, California, is a different state field. Worthington and Powell remain other strings. The 61,324-line count still is not a headcount of Dublin people.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Dublin, OH?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city DUBLIN, OH total $25,257,265 across 61,324 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 Dublin. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

Is this Dublin, Ohio or Dublin, California?

This extract is DUBLIN with state OH: 61,324 lines and $25,257,265. Dublin, CA, would be a different city key. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 61,324 should not be quoted as a population.

Does the Dublin, OH total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed DUBLIN with state OH. Office addresses and mail that list Dublin can be part of $25,257,265 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 61,324-line count follows the same rule.

Are Dublin, OH numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $25,257,265 and 61,324 lines for DUBLIN, OH. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from OH are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $412 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
