Geography uses only the city and state on the filing, and a Portland mailing address is not always inside city limits.

1 counted contributions. Oregon law requires a named entry only for a contributor who gives more than $100 in a calendar year (ORS 260.083), so campaigns may report smaller gifts as lump sums. A lump sum hides how many gifts it holds, so that row has no count, and campaigns that itemize every gift show more contributions than campaigns that do not. City matching funds are payments from the city, not gifts, so they have their own row. The other size bands are round numbers that this site chose; they are the same for every committee. Loans are not counted.

City matching funds are left out, because their address is a city office, not a donor's.
