US House of Representatives money in federal elections

Chamber employer text, not House appropriations

Three hundred forty-nine unique donors produced 8,161 contributions totaling $4,296,168. About 23 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $526 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 US House of Representatives string plus itemized amounts.

Top employer matches US House of Representatives. “U.S. House,” “House of Representatives,” and office-of-representative strings can exist as other keys. They are not inside $4,296,168 unless they matched this exact label. LobbyVault does not recode punctuation or “U.S.” versus “US” into one chamber total.

Who can appear among 349 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.

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 US House of Representatives industry key. Mean per donor is about $12,310 from $4,296,168 divided by 349 people.

What 8,161 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 US House of Representatives donor table. Unitemized gifts never appear in the $4.3M figure.

US SENATE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, and U S GOVERNMENT are other employer strings. This total is US House of Representatives only. Combining chamber labels would invent a legislative-branch recode the FEC did not store.

Donor table without chamber inference

The US 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 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.

House string versus Senate and generic government keys

US House of Representatives keyed $4.3M from 8,161 contributions and 349 donors. US SENATE is a sibling chamber page with its own overlay. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and U S GOVERNMENT are generic government-employer keys; they are not assumed to contain House staff who typed the chamber name. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside this employer.

Keep $4,296,168, 8,161 contributions, and 349 donors on this chamber 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.
