MILWAUKEE, WI: $73.4M on 232,633 FEC receipts

Milwaukee’s volume beside similar dollars

Two hundred thirty-two thousand six hundred thirty-three lines produce $73,400,945. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $315. Baton Rouge, on nearby dollars, carries fewer lines. Milwaukee’s file is a volume book on this extract.

Madison is a separate Wisconsin city hub. Waukesha, Brookfield, and Racine are other city strings. They are not inside $73,400,945 unless the filer typed MILWAUKEE. Milwaukee County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up.

Office addresses can share the Milwaukee city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 232,633 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Milwaukee is not Wisconsin

State WI on the key identifies the city string. It does not convert $73,400,945 into a statewide total. Madison keeps its own hub. Adding the two and calling the sum “Wisconsin” is a recode this packet does not publish.

Keep MILWAUKEE, WI as the citation. Recheck $73,400,945 and 232,633 on the live hub after a later extract.

City string versus postal map

FEC.gov stores the city as typed. Recoding Milwaukee into a Census place or a metro map would be a different dataset. This page does not recode.

ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing Milwaukee-area ZIPs can diverge from $73,400,945 when some receipts used suburban city labels. The 232,633-line count follows the city field.

Limits of the Milwaukee aggregate

Wisconsin state campaigns file under state law. Those receipts are outside $73,400,945 and outside 232,633. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

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

A Milwaukee citation that names FEC.gov and prints $73,400,945 without 232,633 hides the volume that separates this hub from Baton Rouge. The mean near $315 is arithmetic from those two packet facts. Milwaukee County maps do not replace the city field.

If a later extract moves Milwaukee’s pair, the live hub is the authority. This guide is a snapshot. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Milwaukee receipt is the story. Unitemized gifts and Wisconsin state filings remain outside $73,400,945 and 232,633.

Citing MILWAUKEE, WI

Name FEC.gov, name contributor city, and print $73,400,945 with 232,633 together. Dropping the line count hides the mean near $315 and Milwaukee’s volume shape.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Milwaukee receipt matters.

Milwaukee’s $73,400,945 on 232,633 lines, mean near $315, is a volume book beside Baton Rouge’s similar dollars on fewer lines. Keep 232,633 in the citation.

Madison remains the other Wisconsin city hub readers most often want to merge. This packet does not merge it. $73,400,945 is MILWAUKEE only.

What a Milwaukee reader should carry

Carry FEC.gov, contributor city MILWAUKEE, WI, $73,400,945, and 232,633 lines. The mean near $315 is optional arithmetic from those two packet facts. It is not a typical gift and not a median.

Madison, Waukesha, Brookfield, and Racine stay off this page unless the filer typed MILWAUKEE. Wisconsin state-office receipts stay off this page. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page.

Milwaukee County is orientation, not a roll-up. A high line count can include repeat givers. 232,633 is not a unique-donor census. $73,400,945 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both.

The live Milwaukee hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named Milwaukee receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field.

Milwaukee’s 232,633 lines behind $73,400,945, mean near $315, are a volume book. Baton Rouge’s similar dollars on fewer lines are the contrast. Keep 232,633 in the sentence with the dollars.

Madison is the other Wisconsin hub. Waukesha, Brookfield, and Racine are other strings. Statewide Wisconsin is a research phrase. FEC.gov stored city.

Wisconsin state campaigns and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. A high line count can include repeat givers. 232,633 is not a unique-donor census. The Milwaukee hub holds the live table. If it disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open FEC.gov. Quote $73,400,945 with 232,633.

Questions

What is Milwaukee’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city MILWAUKEE, WI total $73,400,945 across 232,633 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Milwaukee residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Milwaukee’s 232,633 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 232,633 itemized lines for MILWAUKEE, WI. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $73,400,945. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 232,633 should not be quoted as a Milwaukee population of donors.

Does Milwaukee’s total include Madison or Waukesha?

No, unless the filer typed MILWAUKEE. Madison is a separate city hub. Waukesha and Brookfield are other city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $73,400,945 is the MILWAUKEE, WI match. The 232,633 lines follow the same rule. Statewide labels are not an FEC dimension on this Milwaukee hub.

Where do the Milwaukee facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $73,400,945 and 232,633 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Wisconsin non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $315 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
