SPRINGFIELD, VA: $22.5M on 80,954 FEC receipts

80,954 lines behind SPRINGFIELD's $22.5M

SPRINGFIELD shows 80,954 itemizations behind $22,460,820. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. A file this long at $22.5M is a high-volume city field: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. The implied mean is about $277.

SPRINGFIELD, VA is a Fairfax County suburb of Washington, D.C. Springfield, Missouri and Springfield, Illinois are other state keys. State VA must stay on the citation so those names are not added together. 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. Read $22,460,820 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of SPRINGFIELD gave. The 80,954 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints SPRINGFIELD together with Annandale, Burke, and Alexandria, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $22,460,820 on 80,954 SPRINGFIELD, VA rows, mean near $277. Keep the stored spelling SPRINGFIELD in the citation.

Why SPRINGFIELD on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Springfield give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city SPRINGFIELD, VA total $22,460,820 across 80,954 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. This extract is SPRINGFIELD with state VA only. Springfield, MO and Springfield, IL are other FEC city keys.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $22,460,820. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $277 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the SPRINGFIELD itemized book

$22,460,820 is not spending by SPRINGFIELD candidates. A candidate who lives in SPRINGFIELD can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged SPRINGFIELD, VA can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Annandale, Burke, and Alexandria is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $22,460,820 counts rows that stored SPRINGFIELD, VA. 80,954 lines. About $277 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. VA state-office receipts are omitted.

SPRINGFIELD versus Arlington, VA on the FEC tape

SPRINGFIELD is a Beltway-suburb volume book. 80,954 lines produce $22,460,820, a mean near $277. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Arlington, VA is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A SPRINGFIELD total of $22,460,820 does not absorb Annandale, Burke, and Alexandria. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State VA stays on the citation so SPRINGFIELD, VA is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in VA state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in VA

80,954 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 SPRINGFIELD 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 SPRINGFIELD 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: $22,460,820 and 80,954.

Source tables for $22,460,820

A mean of about $277 is division of $22,460,820 by 80,954. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of SPRINGFIELD. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the SPRINGFIELD city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

SPRINGFIELD’s $22,460,820 across 80,954 contributions is a Fairfax County city field, mean near $277. Annandale is a neighboring string, not a subset. Fairfax County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $22,460,820 with 80,954 from FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much is itemized from contributor city SPRINGFIELD, VA?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city SPRINGFIELD, VA total $22,460,820 across 80,954 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 Springfield. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $277 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Which Springfield is this $22.5M total?

This extract is SPRINGFIELD with state VA only. Springfield, MO and Springfield, IL are other FEC city keys. LobbyVault counts 80,954 itemized contributions for SPRINGFIELD, VA against $22,460,820. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 80,954 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Springfield total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed SPRINGFIELD with state VA. Office addresses and mail that list Springfield can be part of $22,460,820 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 80,954-line count follows the same rule.

Are Springfield numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $22,460,820 and 80,954 lines for SPRINGFIELD, VA. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from VA are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
