Federal contributions from ZIP 28202

Uptown Charlotte’s $11,370,157 tagged sum

$11.4M is the rounded headline for $11,370,157 tagged to 28202. Rounding does not create a second dataset. Money in this bucket can land at federal committees nationwide. The North Carolina State Board of Elections activity stays out. Unitemized gifts stay out. Do not caption $11,370,157 as “Uptown Charlotte residents wrote checks for $11.4M” unless the hub rows actually show that.

Twenty-three thousand three hundred fifty-two rows sits on the mid side of $11 million ZIP files. Tryon Street offices and Uptown residences can share 28202 with committee mail. 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 28202. Mecklenburg geography on the form is not a party split.

Treat $11,370,157 as an itemized-dollar bucket for 28202, not as a verdict on Uptown Charlotte. 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 $11.4M or 23,352, FEC.gov controls. Do not fill the missing donor headcount with arithmetic.

23,352 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 23,352 contributions for 28202. 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 Uptown Charlotte filings. A mid-length file at $11.4M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 23,352 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,370,157, 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 28202 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Uptown Charlotte political score.

28202 on the contribution record

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Bank-tower suites, household rows, and committee mail in Uptown Charlotte can share the code. Quote $11.4M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Uptown Charlotte 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 Uptown Charlotte address, or a committee that files 28202, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Mecklenburg County street and a committee that files 28202 both increment the same roll-up.

Where 28202 receipts live

Named receipts for 28202 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 $11,370,157 and 23,352 can be cited without rebuilding Schedule A. If hub and snapshot disagree, the Commission filing controls.

28203, 28204, and 28207 are separate keys; do not add them to 28202. 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.

Limits of the 28202 summary

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Raleigh-filed state reports are out. Charlotte municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the North Carolina State Board of Elections filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,370,157 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 28202.

Method notes for the 28202 roll-up

LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov itemized receipts and groups them by the five-digit contributor ZIP. For 28202 (Uptown Charlotte), that group currently totals $11,370,157 on 23,352 lines. $11.4M is the rounded headline. Mecklenburg 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 $11,370,157. The North Carolina State Board of Elections reports never appear in $11,370,157. Independent expenditures are a different schedule. Named receipts live on the ZIP 28202 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 28202 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 28202 total $11,370,157 across 23,352 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Uptown Charlotte and not the North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals.

Does 23,352 contributions mean 23,352 people donated?

No. The figure counts itemized receipts. One person can appear many times. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 28202 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 28202 include North Carolina state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $11,370,157. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 28202 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees live on that hub.

Where can I see 28202 itemizations?
