U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES money in federal elections
Filers who listed U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES as employer or occupation on federal itemized receipts account for $3.5M ($3,511,302) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 5,679 contributions and 256 donors. The string is chamber text as typed — including periods after U and S — not a NAICS public-administration code, not a House institutional account, and not the US House of Representatives spelling without periods.
Key figures
- U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES as FEC text totals $3.5M ($3,511,302) from 256 donors.
- 5,679 contribution lines sit under that period-punctuated chamber string.
- US HOUSE without periods, US SENATE, and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are separate keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or House PAC total.
Period-punctuated chamber text, not House appropriations
Two hundred fifty-six unique donors produced 5,679 contributions totaling $3,511,302. About 22 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $618 describe the arithmetic on the packet. Official House funds, the Members’ Representational Allowance, and the House itself are not the payor in this rollup. FEC individual itemizations record what the contributor listed as employer. These rows are the self-reported U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES string plus itemized amounts.
Top employer matches U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES without periods, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, and office-of-representative strings can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,511,302 unless they matched this exact punctuated label. LobbyVault does not recode punctuation or “U.S.” versus “US” into one chamber total.
Who can appear among 256 donors
Staff, members listing the chamber as employer, spouses using the same shorthand, and former staff who still write the old employer can all land in the cluster. The FEC does not certify current payroll. Unique-donor count is matching text, not a headcount of 435 voting members or of personal-office staff. Mean per donor is about $13,716 from $3,511,302 divided by 256 people.
Occupation fields such as legislative assistant, representative, or chief of staff are a separate cut. Use occupation breakdowns for titles. This page stays on the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES industry key. Two hundred fifty-six unique people is a narrower roster than several generic government stamps near this dollar band.
What 5,679 contributions omit
No party caucus split, no cycle year, and no distinction between member and staff sit on the industry headline. Recipients and dates are on FEC.gov and on the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $3.5M figure.
US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES without periods, US SENATE, and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are other employer strings. This total is U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES only. Combining chamber labels would invent a legislative-branch recode the FEC did not store.
Donor table without chamber inference
The U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a vote, a committee assignment, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the punctuated chamber share the string with current staff.
Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the chamber string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only. Repeat names among 5,679 lines from 256 people are expected.

Period-punctuated House versus US House and Senate keys
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES keyed $3.5M from 5,679 contributions and 256 donors. US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES without periods is a sibling chamber page with its own overlay. US SENATE and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT are other keys; they are not assumed to contain House staff who typed the punctuated chamber name. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside this employer.
Keep $3,511,302, 5,679 contributions, and 256 donors on this period-punctuated spelling. Punctuation variants of the House name stay on their own pages unless they grouped to this exact string. The donor table is the place to see names and committees. This page does not describe official appropriations or score votes.
Read $3,511,302 as the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES cluster only. About 22 gifts per person, a mean gift near $618, and about $13,716 per donor are packet arithmetic. Unitemized gifts and official House accounts sit outside the $3.5M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. US SENATE and FEDERAL GOVERNMENT remain other keys.

Questions
- How much have U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $3,511,302 to the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES employer string, from 5,679 contributions and 256 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not House official funds and not a NAICS public-administration total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the House’s own campaign account?
- No. The $3.5M total is contributor disclosures that listed U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES as employer or occupation. Official House accounts and the Members’ Representational Allowance are not the payor. The FEC field records what filers typed, not an institutional budget line. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
- Does this include the US House spelling without periods?
- Only if those receipts grouped to U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES without periods is a separate grouped string. A receipt counted here carries the punctuated chamber text. Staff who typed only FEDERAL GOVERNMENT sit in that generic row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES?
- The rollup counts 256 donors and 5,679 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount of the House. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
