Federal contributions from ZIP 53705

High line count at $16,143,442

ZIP 53705 posts $16,143,442 on 68,780 itemized contributions. That is a high-volume file relative to several $16 million ZIPs that clear similar dollars with fewer than 20,000 rows. Dollars divided by lines is about $235. The mean is arithmetic from the packet. It is not a median and not a typical Madison household gift. A single restated Schedule A can move both figures in the same extract.

Sixty-eight thousand seven hundred eighty itemizations can stack small itemized gifts, repeat contributions, and memo entries. High volume does not prove a small-dollar-only ZIP. A lower mean does not prove the absence of large transfers. This roll-up does not split those rows.

No party share is published with $16,143,442. Keep 53705 as a five-digit contributor key. LobbyVault does not score west Madison or Shorewood Hills as partisan.

Madison west-side mail on Schedule A

53705 covers a west-side slice of Madison. A contributor who lists that ZIP, or a committee that files 53705, adds to $16,143,442 when the code is on the itemization. The table is tagged federal receipts, not a census of west-side residents.

The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 68,780 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. This guide does not collapse rows into people. Shorewood Hills-adjacent mail and west-side Madison residential streets share the same five-digit field; LobbyVault does not split those categories here.

What $16,143,442 does not include

Unitemized federal gifts are out. Wisconsin state campaign filings are out. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are out. Cite $16,143,442 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 53705.

A restatement can still move a Madison ZIP. Recheck the ZIP 53705 FEC page after an amendment. Two different clips are not a contradiction until extract dates match.

53705 among other Wisconsin codes

The all-ZIP directory ranks 53705 in the same FEC series. Other Madison codes may show fewer lines and a higher mean. Those gaps describe filing shape, not which side of town is more politically active. The Commission does not rank neighborhoods. A later extract can reorder those comparisons without changing the meaning of 53705 as a contributor-ZIP key.

Do not add 53705 to 53703 or 53711 on this page. Each code is a separate roll-up. This page’s facts are $16,143,442 and 68,780 contributions.

How to cite the 68,780-line file

ZIP 53705 totals $16,143,442 across 68,780 itemized FEC contributions. The ~$235 mean looks like a small-dollar story until you remember it is a ratio across a long list, not a median. 68,780 is not a unique-person count. Repeat itemizations add to it. Memo entries add to it. West-side Madison mail includes residential addresses and committee addresses on the same five digits. LobbyVault does not split those categories in this aggregate.

Wisconsin state filings stay outside $16,143,442. Unitemized federal gifts stay outside it. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP stay outside it. Open named receipts on the ZIP 53705 FEC page after restatements. Open the donor directory for names on itemized rows. Open the all-ZIP directory to place 53705 next to 53703 or 53711 without stacking dollars. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Because 68,780 lines dwarf several peer $16 million ZIPs, readers treat 53705 as a volume ZIP and skip the dollar total. $16,143,442 is still a $16 million roll-up. High volume does not erase large transfers that may sit in the same file. Recheck the hub after any restatement. Keep 53705 as five digits. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov; it does not freeze $16,143,442.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 53705?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 53705 total $16,143,442 across 68,780 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Madison residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 53705?

LobbyVault counts 68,780 itemized contributions for ZIP 53705. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $16,143,442.

Does ZIP 53705 include only Madison residents?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in 53705 can be part of $16,143,442 when that code is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 68,780-line count follows the same rule.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 53705 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $16,143,442 and 68,780 lines for ZIP 53705. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Wisconsin state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
