Federal contributions from ZIP 38117

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 38117 add up to $14.1M across 28,215 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a Tennessee Registry of Election Finance local file. Twenty-eight thousand lines at this dollar scale is a mid-length receipt file rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

  • ZIP 38117 FEC itemizations total $14,096,297 ($14.1M).
  • 28,215 contributions list 38117 as the contributor ZIP.
  • East Memphis’s 38117 tag is a filing key, not a Shelby County headcount.
  • This packet has no unique-donor count.

East Memphis $14,096,297

$14,096,297 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 38117 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 $14.1M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in East Memphis spent.

Twenty-eight thousand two hundred fifteen rows sits in the middle of $14 million ZIP files. 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 38117. Shelby County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $14,096,297. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Shelby 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.

28,215 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 28,215 contributions for 38117. 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 East Memphis filings. A mid-length file at $14.1M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 28,215 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $14,096,297, 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 38117 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a East Memphis political score.

38117 on the contribution record

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. White Station–area offices, household rows, and committee mail can share the code. Quote $14.1M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “East Memphis 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 East Memphis address, or a committee that files 38117, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. An East Memphis street and a committee that files 38117 both increment the same dollar total.

Where 38117 receipts live

The ZIP 38117 FEC page is the itemized table behind $14,096,297 and 28,215 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.

Downtown Memphis uses different five-digit keys; do not merge them into 38117. 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 38117 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. Memphis 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 $14,096,297 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 38117.
