SALT LAKE CITY, UT: $94.0M on 243,182 FEC receipts

Reading $93,960,108 as a city-string roll-up

The headline pair is $93,960,108 and 243,182 lines. The implied average is about $386. Cite both numbers. Quoting only the dollars drops the line-count shape of the Salt Lake City book.

Utah’s capital is orientation. State-office campaigns in Utah are not this FEC city total. Filers typed SALT LAKE CITY in the city field. LobbyVault summed rows with that string and state UT. 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.

Metro shorthand that folds West Valley City or Sandy into Salt Lake City is a recode. FEC.gov stored SALT LAKE CITY, UT. $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions, mean near $386, belongs to that spelling. Provo is a different key if it appears as the city field.

Why SALT LAKE CITY on the receipt is not a census of Salt Lake City

Searchers often want “how much did people in Salt Lake City give.” The honest citation is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SALT LAKE CITY, UT total $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $93,960,108. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here.

Outside the Salt Lake City itemized book

$93,960,108 is not spending by Salt Lake City candidates. A candidate who lives in Salt Lake City can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged SALT LAKE CITY, UT can go to a committee anywhere.

A mean near $386 does not describe a median resident of Salt Lake City. Means move with a few large lines.

Readers who live near West Valley City or Sandy still need the city string as filed. A Salt Lake City mailing habit is not the FEC dimension. SALT LAKE CITY, UT sums to $93,960,108 on 243,182 lines (about $386 each). Provo remains outside that pair.

Volume and average on the Salt Lake City book

Salt Lake City sits in a mid-range mean band on this extract: about $386 from $93,960,108 divided by 243,182. The pair is a city-field average, not a ranking of political intensity.

Comparing Salt Lake City’s mean to another city is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts. Mixing in state data breaks the comparison.

Salt Lake City versus West Valley City is a different-key problem, not a suburb ranking. Sandy and Provo follow the same rule. Quote $93,960,108 and 243,182 for SALT LAKE CITY, UT only. The mean near $386 does not travel with a neighbor’s name.

City total versus postal codes in UT

243,182 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City politics sits outside the extract. That includes candidate quality, issue fights, and local election results. Those subjects have other documents. This guide stays on the two numbers FEC.gov supplied for the city field.

Source tables for $93,960,108

A mean of about $386 is division of $93,960,108 by 243,182. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of Salt Lake City.

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

Salt Lake City’s $93,960,108 across 243,182 contributions needs the three-word city string. Salt Lake alone is not the FEC key on this page. West Valley City, Sandy, and Provo are different strings. Utah’s capital is orientation. Utah state-office campaigns are omitted from this federal book. A mean near $386 is the average itemized row. The 243,182-line count is not a unique-donor census. Do not treat the capital label as a statewide Utah FEC total. This packet is one city key. Open the Salt Lake City FEC page for names. Cite $93,960,108 with 243,182 as currently indexed.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city Salt Lake City?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SALT LAKE CITY, UT total $93,960,108 across 243,182 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 Salt Lake City. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

What does the Salt Lake City contribution count mean?

LobbyVault counts 243,182 itemized contributions for SALT LAKE CITY, UT. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 243,182 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $93,960,108.

Can committee addresses appear in the Salt Lake City city total?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SALT LAKE CITY with state UT. Office addresses and mail that list Salt Lake City can be part of $93,960,108 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 243,182-line count follows the same rule.

Are Salt Lake City numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $93,960,108 and 243,182 lines for SALT LAKE CITY, UT. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from UT are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $386 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
