REDMOND, WA: $29.1M on 76,132 FEC receipts

Redmond’s dollars versus line count

Seventy-six thousand one hundred thirty-two lines produce $29,109,823. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $382. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median on this city aggregate.

Kirkland, Bellevue, and Sammamish keep separate Washington hubs. They are not inside $29,109,823 unless the filer typed REDMOND. King County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Redmond, not Kirkland

Kirkland keeps a separate hub. Adding it to Redmond would be a recode. This packet publishes REDMOND, WA only: $29,109,823 and 76,132 lines.

State WA 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. REDMOND plus WA is the match. Recoding into a Census place or an Eastside label is a different dataset.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Eastside ZIPs can diverge from $29,109,823 when some receipts used Kirkland or Bellevue as the city. The 76,132-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Redmond aggregate

Washington state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $29,109,823 and outside 76,132. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

Citing REDMOND, WA

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $29,109,823 with 76,132 together. Dropping the line count hides how the $382 mean is produced.

Office addresses can share the Redmond city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 76,132 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 Redmond receipt matters.

How researchers should use the Redmond hub

Start on the live Redmond city page, then open ZIP pages if a postal cut is the real question. $29,109,823 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 76,132 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers Kirkland as the “real” neighbor. Filers typed REDMOND. LobbyVault indexed REDMOND.

A mean near $382 is only $29,109,823 divided by 76,132. Occupation, recipient, and party are different FEC fields. None of those fields are in this packet. Cite the pair: contributor city REDMOND, WA, $29,109,823, 76,132 itemized federal contributions, source FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Washington non-federal filings never enter either fact.

Sammamish, Kirkland, and Bellevue are neighboring Eastside strings. $29,109,823 does not include them unless the filer typed REDMOND. The 76,132 lines are this city only. The mean near $382 is division, not a typical Eastside gift and not an employer study. Occupation is a different FEC field and is not in this packet.

King County is orientation. Washington non-federal filings stay outside. Cite REDMOND, WA with both packet facts. If the live pair changes, this snapshot is stale. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Redmond’s $29,109,823 sits on 76,132 lines. The mean near $382 is a quotient, not an employer profile. Occupation is a different FEC field and is absent from this packet. Kirkland stays out unless a filer typed REDMOND. Washington state filings stay outside. Cite REDMOND, WA with both facts. Recheck the live hub. Unitemized gifts never enter either number. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Keep REDMOND, WA, $29,109,823, and 76,132 in one citation. The mean near $382 is those two numbers divided. Kirkland remains a separate string. Bellevue remains a separate string. Eastside remains a regional label. Washington 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 Redmond receipt. Occupation is a different FEC field and is not in this packet.

King County is orientation only. $29,109,823 and 76,132 stay on REDMOND, WA as typed. Do not fold Kirkland into this hub.

Questions

What is Redmond’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city REDMOND, WA total $29,109,823 across 76,132 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Redmond residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Redmond’s 76,132 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 76,132 itemized lines for REDMOND, WA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $29,109,823. The mean near $382 follows from division.

Does Redmond’s total include Kirkland or Bellevue?

Only if the filer typed REDMOND. Kirkland, Bellevue, and Sammamish are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $29,109,823 is the REDMOND, WA match. The 76,132 lines follow the same rule. Eastside is not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Redmond facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $29,109,823 and 76,132 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Washington non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $382 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
