HARRISBURG, PA: $30.7M on 66,677 FEC receipts

Capital city string on the federal books

Sixty-six thousand six hundred seventy-seven lines produce $30,684,869. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $460. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Camp Hill, Hershey, and Lancaster keep separate Pennsylvania hubs. They are not inside $30,684,869 unless the filer typed HARRISBURG. Dauphin County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

State capital, not a state total

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh keep separate hubs. Adding them to Harrisburg would be a recode. This packet publishes HARRISBURG, PA only: $30,684,869 and 66,677 lines. Capital status does not expand the city field.

State PA on the key is required in the citation. Recheck both facts on the live hub if a later extract lands.

City field versus postal map

FEC.gov stores whatever city appeared on the itemized receipt. HARRISBURG plus PA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or a Harrisburg–Carlisle MSA label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing capital-region ZIPs can diverge from $30,684,869 when some receipts used Camp Hill or Mechanicsburg as the city. The 66,677-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Harrisburg aggregate

Pennsylvania state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $30,684,869 and outside 66,677. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing HARRISBURG, PA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $30,684,869 with 66,677 together. Dropping the line count hides volume on a $30.7 million book.

Office addresses can share the Harrisburg city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 66,677 lines are receipts, not unique persons. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Harrisburg receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Harrisburg hub

Start on the live Harrisburg city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $30,684,869 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 66,677 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Philadelphia as the “real” Pennsylvania. Filers typed HARRISBURG. LobbyVault indexed HARRISBURG.

A mean near $460 is only $30,684,869 divided by 66,677. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city HARRISBURG, PA, $30,684,869, 66,677 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Pennsylvania non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Camp Hill, Steelton, and Penbrook sit across the river or the city line. They enter $30,684,869 only if the filer typed HARRISBURG. The 66,677 lines are the capital-city string, not a statewide book. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh remain separate hubs.

The mean near $460 is $30,684,869 divided by 66,677. Capital status does not change the FEC city field. Pennsylvania non-federal filings stay outside. Cite HARRISBURG, PA with both facts. If the live hub prints a different pair, this snapshot is stale. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Harrisburg is a capital and still a city string. $30,684,869 and 66,677 are not Pennsylvania. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh stay on their hubs. Camp Hill stays out unless a filer typed HARRISBURG. The mean near $460 is a quotient. Pennsylvania state filings stay outside. Cite HARRISBURG, PA with both packet facts. Recheck the live hub after FEC.gov amendments.

Keep HARRISBURG, PA, $30,684,869, and 66,677 in one citation. Capital-city status does not enlarge those two packet facts. Camp Hill remains a separate string. Philadelphia remains a separate string. Pennsylvania non-federal filings remain outside. Unitemized federal gifts remain outside. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations remain outside. Start on the live city page. Open ZIP pages for a postal cut. Open FEC.gov for a named Harrisburg receipt. The mean near $460 is $30,684,869 divided by 66,677 and nothing else.

Dauphin County is orientation only. $30,684,869 and 66,677 stay on HARRISBURG, PA as typed.

Questions

What is Harrisburg’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city HARRISBURG, PA total $30,684,869 across 66,677 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Harrisburg residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

Does the capital-city status expand Harrisburg’s total?

No. FEC.gov stores a city field, not a capital flag. $30,684,869 and 66,677 lines are the HARRISBURG, PA match only. Statewide Pennsylvania receipts sit on other city keys when filers typed those cities. This packet publishes no statewide figure.

Does Harrisburg’s total include Camp Hill or Hershey?

Only if the filer typed HARRISBURG. Camp Hill, Hershey, and Lancaster are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $30,684,869 is the HARRISBURG, PA match. The 66,677 lines follow the same rule. Dauphin County is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Harrisburg facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $30,684,869 and 66,677 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Pennsylvania non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $460 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
