Federal contributions from ZIP 27705

Durham 27705’s $12,494,259

$12,494,259 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 27705 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings and Durham municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household near Duke spent.

Forty-nine thousand one hundred fifty-six rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $12 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 27705. Durham County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,494,259. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Triangle political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

49,156 lines, no unique-donor figure

The extract lists 49,156 contributions for 27705. 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 Durham 27705 filings. A file this long at $12.5M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

Scanning 49,156 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 27705 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,494,259 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 27705 as a geographic key on the contributor record.

27705 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Campus-adjacent offices, household rows, and committee mail in west Durham can share the code. Quote $12.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Durham residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. 27701, 27704, and 27707 are separate keys; do not add them to 27705. A Durham County street and a committee that files 27705 both increment the same roll-up.

Pulling 27705 itemizations

The ZIP 27705 FEC page is the itemized table behind $12,494,259 and 49,156 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 the packet facts can be quoted without assembling Schedule A reports by hand.

Chapel Hill and Raleigh codes are separate keys. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates that this summary does not carry. This guide stays inside the harvested facts.

Edges of the 27705 total

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. North Carolina state-office reports are out. Durham municipal filings are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $12,494,259 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 27705.

How to cite ZIP 27705 without extra facts

A usable public-record sentence names the exact key: contributor ZIP 27705 in FEC bulk data indexed on LobbyVault sums to $12,494,259 on 49,156 itemized lines. The compact headline $12.5M 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 49,156.

Unitemized federal receipts never carry a published ZIP in this roll-up, so they never enter $12,494,259. State-office campaigns are a different filing system. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are not contributions and are not inside $12,494,259. Compare 27705 on the all-ZIP directory if you need a peer set. Do not add neighboring keys to $12,494,259 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 27705 FEC page, where $12,494,259 and 49,156 are the live indexed totals.
