Federal contributions from ZIP 49506

East Grand Rapids’ $13,493,728

$13,493,728 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 49506 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Michigan Bureau of Elections filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $13.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in East Grand Rapids spent.

Thirty-four thousand four hundred fifty-eight 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 49506. Kent County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,493,728. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Kent 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 $13.5M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

34,458 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 34,458 contributions for 49506. 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 Grand Rapids filings. A mid-length file at $13.5M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 34,458 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $13,493,728, 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 49506 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a East Grand Rapids political score.

49506 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Wealthy Street–adjacent offices, household rows, and committee mail east of downtown Grand Rapids can share the code. Quote $13.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “East Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids address, or a committee that files 49506, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Kent County street and a committee that files 49506 both increment the same roll-up.

Pulling 49506 itemizations

The ZIP 49506 FEC page is the itemized table behind $13,493,728 and 34,458 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 Grand Rapids and Ada codes are separate keys; do not add them to 49506. 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.

Edges of the 49506 total

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Lansing-filed state reports are out. East Grand Rapids municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Michigan Bureau of Elections filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $13,493,728 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 49506.

How much did ZIP 49506 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 49506 total $13,493,728 across 34,458 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of East Grand Rapids and not the Michigan Bureau of Elections campaign totals.

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 49506 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 49506 include Michigan state races?
