LARAMIE, WY: $21.9M on 19,439 FEC receipts

19,439 lines carrying $21,864,604

LARAMIE shows 19,439 itemizations behind $21,864,604. That mix is a thinner stack with a high average line relative to volume books that post similar dollars on 70,000-plus rows. The implied mean is about $1,125. Committee receipts that list a LARAMIE address still sit in the same column as individual rows.

Laramie is a thin Albany County book: 19,439 lines against $21.9 million, a mean near $1,125. Laramie County, where Cheyenne sits, is a different geography and a different city key. Do not treat the county name as this hub. 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 $21,864,604 as tagged federal receipts, not as what residents of LARAMIE gave. The 19,439 lines are disclosed transactions, not unique persons.

If a newsroom map paints LARAMIE together with Cheyenne, Fort Collins, and West Laramie, the FEC file still splits them. This extract’s only city total is $21,864,604 on 19,439 LARAMIE, WY rows, mean near $1,125. Keep the stored spelling LARAMIE in the citation.

Why LARAMIE on the receipt is not a census

Searchers often want “how much did people in Laramie give.” The honest citation on this page is narrower: itemized federal receipts with contributor city LARAMIE, WY total $21,864,604 across 19,439 contributions. Dropping “itemized” and “contributor city” inflates the claim. No. This extract is the city string LARAMIE with state WY. Cheyenne in Laramie County is a different city key.

Party is not in this packet. Do not attach a partisan reading to $21,864,604. Occupation and employer may appear on named receipts on the city hub; they are not rolled up here. A mean near $1,125 is arithmetic from the two packet facts, not a typical household gift.

Outside the LARAMIE itemized book

$21,864,604 is not spending by LARAMIE candidates. A candidate who lives in LARAMIE can raise money from other cities. A donor row tagged LARAMIE, WY can go to a committee anywhere. Unitemized federal gifts sit outside both packet facts.

Postal confusion with Cheyenne, Fort Collins, and West Laramie is why the city field is a poor residency proxy. $21,864,604 counts rows that stored LARAMIE, WY. 19,439 lines. About $1,125 each. Neighbor names need their own hubs. WY state-office receipts are omitted.

LARAMIE versus Cheyenne on the FEC tape

LARAMIE is a thin high-mean Albany County book. 19,439 lines produce $21,864,604, a mean near $1,125. That line count is not a unique-donor count. Comparing this mean to Cheyenne is only valid on the same series: contributor city, itemized federal receipts.

A LARAMIE total of $21,864,604 does not absorb Cheyenne, Fort Collins, and West Laramie. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State WY stays on the citation so LARAMIE, WY is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Mixing in WY state-campaign data breaks the comparison.

City total versus postal codes in WY

19,439 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 LARAMIE 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 LARAMIE 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: $21,864,604 and 19,439.

Source tables for $21,864,604

A mean of about $1,125 is division of $21,864,604 by 19,439. It is fair to report as arithmetic. It is not fair to report as a typical resident of LARAMIE. Means move with a few large lines. Internal links on this page go only to the LARAMIE city hub, the all-cities directory, and the ZIP directory.

LARAMIE’s $21,864,604 across 19,439 contributions is a Albany County city field, mean near $1,125. Cheyenne is a neighboring string, not a subset. Albany County is not summed here. Repeat gifts add rows. Cite $21,864,604 with 19,439 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 LARAMIE, WY?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor city LARAMIE, WY total $21,864,604 across 19,439 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 Laramie. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean near $1,125 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

Is Laramie the same as Laramie County on this page?

No. This extract is the city string LARAMIE with state WY. Cheyenne in Laramie County is a different city key. LobbyVault counts 19,439 itemized contributions for LARAMIE, WY against $21,864,604. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 19,439 should not be quoted as a population. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Laramie total include only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed LARAMIE with state WY. Office addresses and mail that list Laramie can be part of $21,864,604 when that is the city string on the receipt. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 19,439-line count follows the same rule.

Are Laramie numbers from FEC.gov?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $21,864,604 and 19,439 lines for LARAMIE, WY. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from WY are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
