Federal contributions from ZIP 06903: $15.0M

North Stamford is not downtown Stamford

$15,013,475 divided by 34,120 is about $440 per itemized line. 06903 is the northern, more residential Stamford code. Downtown and South End codes are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide Stamford sum.

Thirty-four thousand one hundred twenty contributions is a long list for a single mail key. Repeat givers, household pairs, and any committee that prints 06903 all add rows. Do not treat 34,120 as a census of Stamford. LobbyVault does not read $15,013,475 as a Fairfield County mood index.

Leading zeros on Connecticut mail

06903 is a five-digit code. Excel and some CSV parsers drop the leading zero and leave 6903. Those rows will not join to FEC itemizations. A committee that lists a High Ridge or Long Ridge suite still posts 06903. $15,013,475 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

Open the ZIP 06903 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which of the 34,120 rows are households. Connecticut state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same.

What $15,013,475 does not include

Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Connecticut state-office campaigns are omitted. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Stamford or 4th District race. Cite $15,013,475 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 06903.

The mean of about $440 is arithmetic from those two packet facts. It is not a median. Amendments can restate large transfers without touching most of the 34,120 small lines. Recheck the live hub after quarterly filings.

06903 beside 06901, 06902, and 06905

Stamford’s other ZIPs are separate FEC keys. Adding them to 06903 and calling the sum a Stamford FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $15,013,475 for 06903 only. Compare 34,120 against those peers on the all-ZIP directory.

Live hub for 06903

The ZIP 06903 FEC page holds $15,013,475 and 34,120 as currently indexed. The all-ZIP directory places the code among others. The donor directory lists names on itemized receipts. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov controls. Filtering the donor directory to 06903 should reconcile to the ZIP hub.

This packet does not publish a unique-donor count. A public-record citation names ZIP 06903, $15,013,475, 34,120 contributions, and FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

What a 06903 total is for, and what it is not for

$15,013,475 is for citing itemized federal receipts tagged 06903. 34,120 is for citing how many such lines the index holds. North Stamford is for telling a reader which mail key they opened. Fairfield County is not a substitute geography for a homemade metro sum. $15.0M is a rounded form of $15,013,475. Use the exact figure in a table; use $15.0M in a sentence that needs a short headline.

The total is not for counting unique people. This packet has no donor headcount. It is not for Connecticut state-office activity. It is not for unitemized federal gifts. It is not a license to add 06901, 06902, and 06905 into $15,013,475. Those are other keys.

About $440 per line is a derived ratio from the two harvested numbers. Treat it as a shape note: 06903 may look different from a ZIP with the same dollars and twice the rows. Open the live hub for the current index. This prose is a snapshot. If the hub and this file disagree, FEC.gov and the live index win.

Keep the unit of analysis explicit. 06903 is a five-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations covering North Stamford. $15,013,475 is the itemized-dollar total. 34,120 is the itemized-line total. $15.0M is $15,013,475 rounded. About $440 is those dollars divided by those lines. Fairfield County is map context. 06901, 06902, and 06905 are other keys. Connecticut state-office activity is out of scope. Unitemized federal gifts are out of scope. This packet does not publish a unique-donor count, so do not cite one. Open the ZIP 06903 FEC page for the live index, the all-ZIP directory for peers, and the donor directory for names on itemized receipts. If those tools and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls. Cite the ZIP, the dollars, and the line count together.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 06903?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 06903 total $15,013,475 across 34,120 contributions. The compact headline is $15.0M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Stamford residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 06903?

LobbyVault counts 34,120 itemized contributions for ZIP 06903. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $15,013,475.

Why does ZIP 06903 have a leading zero?

Connecticut ZIPs begin with 0. FEC itemizations store five digits. Spreadsheets that coerce the field to a number will store 6903 and fail to match. Keep 06903 as text. Committees and office addresses that file 06903 can be part of $15,013,475. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide book.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 06903 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,013,475 and 34,120 lines for ZIP 06903. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Connecticut state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
