Federal contributions from ZIP 02420

Lexington 02420’s $11,270,982 tagged receipts

$11.3M is the rounded headline for $11,270,982 tagged to 02420. Rounding does not create a second dataset. Money in this bucket can land at federal committees nationwide. The Massachusetts OCPF activity stays out. Unitemized gifts stay out. Do not caption $11,270,982 as “Lexington residents wrote checks for $11.3M” unless the hub rows actually show that.

Thirty-five thousand five hundred ninety-five rows is a mid-length file among ZIPs near $11 million. Keep five digits including the leading zero when joining files; truncated 2420 will fail to match. Lexington streets can share 02420 with committee mail. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 02420. Middlesex geography on the form is not a party split.

Treat $11,270,982 as an itemized-dollar bucket for 02420, not as a verdict on Lexington. The packet does not attach a party share, an election-cycle series, or a unique-person census. Hub rows carry the names this summary omits. If a later LobbyVault extract disagrees with $11.3M or 35,595, FEC.gov controls. Do not fill the missing donor headcount with arithmetic.

35,595 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 35,595 contributions for 02420. That is a receipt count, not a unique-person census. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this guide does not invent how many people sit behind Lexington filings. A mid-length file at $11.3M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 35,595 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,270,982, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names, that will show too. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 02420 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Lexington political score.

02420 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Massachusetts Avenue offices, household rows, and committee mail in Lexington can share the code. Quote $11.3M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Lexington residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. A contributor who lists a Lexington address, or a committee that files 02420, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Middlesex County street and a committee that files 02420 both increment the same dollar total. Keep the leading zero.

Opening the 02420 table

Named receipts for 02420 live on the hub, not in this prose. The all-ZIP catalog is for rank and peer comparison. The donor directory is for name search. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data so $11,270,982 and 35,595 can be cited without rebuilding Schedule A. If hub and snapshot disagree, the Commission filing controls.

02421, 01730, and Arlington codes are separate keys; do not merge them into 02420. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. This guide stays inside the harvested facts and does not add cycle splits, employer roll-ups, or occupation tables that the packet omitted. Sort, filter, and export live on the hub.

What 02420 leaves out

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Boston-filed state reports are out. Lexington town races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Massachusetts OCPF filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,270,982 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 02420.

Method notes for the 02420 roll-up

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov itemized receipts and groups them by the five-digit contributor ZIP. For 02420 (Lexington), that group currently totals $11,270,982 on 35,595 lines. $11.3M is the rounded headline. Middlesex County is the map context. Neither the map nor the rounding creates a new fact. There is no unique-donor field in this packet. Writing one would be invention.

Itemization has a federal threshold. Small unitemized gifts never appear in $11,270,982. The Massachusetts OCPF reports never appear in $11,270,982. Independent expenditures are a different schedule. Named receipts live on the ZIP 02420 FEC page. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory for rank and peer comparison. FEC.gov remains the controlling source if extracts diverge.

Questions

How much did ZIP 02420 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 02420 total $11,270,982 across 35,595 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP.
