Federal contributions from ZIP 35242

The $17,006,883 tagged to 35242

Seventeen million six thousand eight hundred eighty-three dollars is the sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 35242. It is not Alabama Ethics Commission data and not a Birmingham municipal filing. Federal committees in any state can receive money from a contributor ZIP of 35242. Unitemized gifts never enter the total.

LobbyVault surfaces the sum so a searcher sees disclosed scale before opening rows. Fifty-four thousand itemizations sit under that dollar figure. That combination—high dollars and a substantial but not extreme row count—is a reason to inspect mix on the hub rather than assume a typical gift size.

Hoover and Shoal Creek geography sits inside 35242, but the FEC does not store neighborhood names on the ZIP field. The $17,006,883 total is the five-digit code only. Fifty-four thousand three hundred fifty-seven contributions inherit that limit. Any finer geography has to be inferred from street fields on individual receipts, which this packet does not summarize.

54,357 contributions as an inventory of receipts

The extract counts 54,357 contributions for 35242. That is how many itemized rows share the ZIP. It is not a unique-donor census, and this packet does not include a distinct-person total to quote. Repeat givers, earmarked pass-throughs, and joint-fundraising splits can each add lines.

A file of this length is large enough that a few headline receipts will not be the whole story and small enough that sorting the 35242 table by amount is still practical. Neither observation replaces reading committee names on the largest lines.

Alabama federal itemizations can support committees outside the state. A 35242-tagged gift to a Senate race elsewhere is still in this total. That is expected. It is also why “Birmingham money” is a sloppy caption for $17,006,883. ZIP-tagged federal disclosure is the accurate one.

Five-digit ZIP, including PAC mail

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. A professional building or a committee mailbox in 35242 can pull large amounts into the same bucket as household gifts on nearby streets.

Keep the language to what the record supports: $17,006,883 is tagged to ZIP 35242 on FEC itemizations. If a row is a PAC, the committee field on the hub will show it. If it is an individual, the name on that receipt is the next public fact—still not a motive.

Sort, sample, stop: that is the 35242 workflow. The all-ZIP index is not a ranking of civic virtue. The donor directory is not a unique-person census. FEC.gov is still the originating system for every row behind the two packet facts.

Hub, ZIP catalog, and name search

The ZIP 35242 FEC page lists the itemizations behind $17,006,883 and 54,357 contributions. The all-ZIP index is the comparison catalog. The donor directory is the name-level search across the FEC file when a 35242 row needs a match outside the ZIP filter.

FEC.gov remains the originating disclosure system. LobbyVault groups the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without assembling committee reports by hand.

What this 35242 summary omits

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle series, or per-resident ratio appears here, because those facts are not in the packet. The supported record is the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

Suburban Birmingham disclosure, read as a ZIP tag

ZIP 35242’s $17,006,883 total is federal itemization tagged to a Birmingham-suburban five-digit code, not Alabama Ethics Commission data. The 54,357 contributions can include households, professional offices, and committee mail. Unitemized gifts are missing. A searcher who wants the mix should sort the 35242 hub by amount, then sample smaller lines so the row count is not ignored.

Fifty-four thousand rows is large enough that a handful of headline receipts will not be the whole story and small enough that the table is still sortable. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total. Repeat itemizations and joint-fundraising splits add rows. Employer fields on the receipts are what committees reported, not a LobbyVault industry ranking of the code.

No party split, cycle series, or per-resident ratio appears here. Use the ZIP 35242 FEC page for the $17,006,883 and 54,357 evidence. The all-ZIP index is the catalog. The donor directory is name search. FEC.gov is the originating system. Stay inside those facts.

Questions

How much federal money is tagged to ZIP 35242?

Itemizations listing 35242 total $17,006,883 across 54,357 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not Alabama state campaign totals and not a unique-donor census of the Birmingham-area code. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $17,006,883 and 54,357 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 35242 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Does 54,357 contributions mean 54,357 people donated?

No. The number counts itemized receipts. One person can appear on many rows across committees and cycles. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 35242 FEC page.

Can PAC filings be inside the 35242 total?

Yes. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses in 35242 can sit inside the $17,006,883 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 35242 lines before treating $17,006,883 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.

Where are ZIP 35242 receipts listed?

On the ZIP 35242 FEC page. Other codes are on the all-ZIP index, and names can be searched in the donor directory. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $17,006,883 and 54,357 contributions tagged to ZIP 35242.
