Federal contributions from ZIP 37402

Chattanooga 37402’s $13,568,852

$13,568,852 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 37402 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Tennessee Registry of Election Finance filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $13.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in downtown Chattanooga spent.

Six thousand thirty-six rows is among the thinnest files near $14 million. Thinner files often make large committee lines easier to spot when sorted by amount. This page will not treat a short list as proof that one payer dominates. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 37402.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,568,852. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Hamilton County political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the line count alone. The supported facts in this packet are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $13.6M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

6,036 rows on a short 37402 file

The extract lists 6,036 contributions for 37402. 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 downtown Chattanooga filings. A file this short at $13.6M usually makes large committee lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows, even when the list is thin.

Do not treat 6,036 as a headcount of Hamilton County residents. One filer can appear many times. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. If a handful of committee lines account for a visible share of $13,568,852, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.

A downtown ZIP on Schedule A

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Riverfront offices, high-rise mail, and committee addresses in 37402 can share the code. Quote $13.6M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “downtown Chattanooga 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 downtown Chattanooga address, or a committee that files 37402, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Hamilton County street and a committee that files 37402 both increment the same dollar total.

Where 37402 receipts live

The ZIP 37402 FEC page is the itemized table behind $13,568,852 and 6,036 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.

Lookout Mountain and suburban Chattanooga codes are separate keys; do not fold them into 37402. 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 37402 summary

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Tennessee state campaign reports are out. Chattanooga municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $13,568,852 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 37402.
