Federal contributions from ZIP 20024

Dollar volume filed under 20024

The $17,148,833 total is the sum of itemized federal contributions that carried 20024 in the ZIP box. In a District of Columbia code, that box is as likely to hold a committee or association address as a home. The number is still a real FEC aggregate; it is not a claim that Southwest residents personally wrote checks for the full amount.

Unitemized receipts are absent. Transfers that were itemized are present, including joint-fundraising activity if the reported ZIP was 20024. Searchers who need the composition of the total should not average the two summary numbers. They should open the hub and read committee types on the largest lines.

Southwest D.C. searchers often want a ward story. This extract cannot supply one. The $17,148,833 figure is a ZIP-field sum across 34,827 itemizations, some of which will be associations and joint-fundraising committees that happen to mail from 20024. Read those committee names on the hub before any caption about neighbors. Unitemized gifts remain invisible either way, so the dollar total is still a disclosed floor, not a complete cash census of the code.

34,827 contributions as disclosed rows

Thirty-four thousand eight hundred twenty-seven is the itemization count for 20024. It is not a unique-donor count; this packet does not include one, and this guide will not guess. Federal employees, associations, and repeat givers can each occupy many rows across two-year cycles.

Relative to other high-dollar ZIPs, 34,827 rows is neither the densest file nor the sparsest. That middle position is a reminder to look at mix: some codes reach similar dollars with a very long list of small receipts, others with a short stack of large PAC lines. 20024’s mix is on the ZIP hub, not in this caption.

If a line on the 20024 table is an individual, the name and employer text are what the committee reported to FEC.gov. If it is a PAC, the committee name is the fact that belongs in the sentence. Mixing those two without looking is how a District ZIP total gets misread. LobbyVault’s ZIP 20024 page exists so that check is one click from this caption.

Contributor ZIP in a federal-city code

The FEC stores a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Few U.S. codes make that sentence more concrete than 20024, where government offices, advocacy groups, and apartments share postal geography.

A journalist quoting this ZIP as “D.C. money” should specify that the money is tagged to the ZIP field on federal receipts. Some of those receipts will be individuals. Some will be committees. The $17,148,833 figure does not separate them; the itemized table does.

Hub, ZIP index, and name search

The ZIP 20024 FEC page is the receipt list for $17,148,833 and 34,827 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison set. The donor directory is the name-level index across the FEC file when a 20024 row needs a match outside the ZIP filter.

LobbyVault does not replace FEC.gov. It groups the ZIP field so a searcher can quote the code’s disclosed scale without opening every committee report that happened to list 20024.

Claims this 20024 page will not make

No unique-donor total, no party split, no cycle series, and no per-resident ratio appear here. Those would require facts the packet does not contain. The supported record is $17,148,833, 34,827 contributions, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition including PAC and joint-fundraising addresses.

Southwest D.C. disclosure versus a neighborhood census

ZIP 20024 mixes federal buildings, association offices, and residential blocks. That mix is why $17,148,833 should never be captioned as “Southwest residents spent” without reading committee names. The FEC stored a five-digit ZIP on each of the 34,827 itemizations. Some of those ZIPs will belong to people. Some will belong to committees. The packet total does not separate them; the hub table does.

Itemization rules still apply. Small gifts below the threshold are missing from $17,148,833. Large joint-fundraising transfers that listed 20024 are included. A researcher should sort the 20024 hub by amount first, because a short list of committee lines can move a D.C. ZIP total more than a long list of modest individual receipts. Then sample the smaller lines so the 34,827 count is not ignored.

No unique-donor figure, party split, or cycle trend is in this packet. Quote $17,148,833 and 34,827 contributions, name FEC.gov, and use the ZIP 20024 FEC page for evidence. The all-ZIP index and the donor directory complete the working set. LobbyVault indexes the ZIP field; it does not add dollars the Commission did not disclose.

Questions

How much did ZIP 20024 show in FEC itemized contributions?

Receipts listing 20024 as the contributor ZIP total $17,148,833 across 34,827 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates. They tag money to the five-digit ZIP field and do not, by themselves, separate households from committees in Southwest D.C. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,148,833 and 34,827 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 20024 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Is 34,827 the number of donors in 20024?

No. It is the number of itemized contribution rows. Repeat filings and earmarks add rows without adding people. This packet does not include a distinct-donor count, so this page does not publish one. See names on the ZIP 20024 FEC page.

Why might a D.C. ZIP total include PACs?

Because the FEC records the ZIP on the contribution, not a verified home address. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC offices in 20024 can be inside the $17,148,833 total. That is standard disclosure geography, especially in the District, not a hidden extra dataset.

Where are ZIP 20024 receipts published on LobbyVault?

On the ZIP 20024 FEC page. Other codes are listed on the all-ZIP index, and names can be searched in the donor directory. The originating reports are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,148,833 and 34,827 contributions tagged to ZIP 20024.
