Federal contributions from ZIP 06405

Branford’s federal $12,898,906

$12,898,906 is the disclosed federal total for lines that carried 06405 in the ZIP box. Committees in any state can be the payees. Connecticut SEEC filings and Branford town races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized federal gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household on the Branford Green spent.

Twenty-eight thousand five hundred forty-seven rows sits in the middle of $13 million ZIP files. A list of this length can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 06405. New Haven County geography on the form is not a party split.

Nothing in the packet assigns $12,898,906 to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Shoreline political score. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the hub. The supported facts stop at the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

28,547 contributions without a headcount

The extract lists 28,547 contributions for 06405. 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 Branford filings. A mid-length file at $12.9M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 28,547 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $12,898,906, 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.

06405 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Main Street offices, shoreline household rows, and committee mail in Branford can share the code. Quote $12.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Branford residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. Guilford (06437) and East Haven (06512) are separate keys; do not add them to 06405. A Connecticut street and a committee that files 06405 both increment the same roll-up.

Reading the 06405 hub

The ZIP 06405 FEC page is the itemized table behind $12,898,906 and 28,547 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison catalog. The donor directory searches names across the FEC file. FEC.gov is the originating system. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field so these two facts can be quoted without assembling Schedule A reports by hand.

Keep 06405 as five digits when joining files; dropping the leading zero breaks the match. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. Sort, filter, and export live on the hub.

What 06405 does not include

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Connecticut SEEC state reports are out. Branford municipal filings are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $12,898,906 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 06405.

How to cite ZIP 06405 without extra facts

A usable public-record sentence names the exact key: contributor ZIP 06405 in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sums to $12,898,906 on 28,547 itemized lines. The compact headline $12.9M is that same dollar total rounded to one decimal million. It is not a second extract and not a forecast. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so do not back into one from 28,547.

Unitemized federal receipts never carry a published ZIP in this roll-up, so they never enter $12,898,906. State-office campaigns are a different filing system. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are not contributions and are not inside $12,898,906. Compare 06405 on the all-ZIP directory if you need a peer set. Do not add neighboring keys to $12,898,906 unless you are building a documented cluster with named sources.

LobbyVault does not infer motive from a ZIP column. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. Researchers who need employer text, recipient committees, or cycle cuts should leave this guide and open the ZIP 06405 FEC page, where $12,898,906 and 28,547 are the live indexed totals.
