Federal contributions from ZIP 53711
Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 53711 add up to $11.9M across 66,803 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a Wisconsin Ethics Commission local file. Sixty-seven thousand lines at this dollar scale is a long receipt list: many itemized rows, not a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Madison 53711’s $11,942,007 high-volume file
$11,942,007 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 53711 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Wisconsin Ethics Commission filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in southwest Madison spent.
Sixty-six thousand eight hundred three rows is a high-volume file among ZIPs near $12 million. Southwest Madison and adjoining Fitchburg streets can share 53711 with committee mail. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 53711.
No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,942,007. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Dane 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 $11.9M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.
66,803 lines behind southwest Madison's $11.9M
The extract lists 66,803 contributions for 53711. 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 southwest Madison filings. A file this long at $11.9M is a high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows, not a handful of oversized transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.
Scanning 66,803 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 53711 FEC page by amount to see whether $11,942,007 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count.
53711 on the contribution record
Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Nakoma and allied streets, household rows, and committee mail in southwest Madison can share the code. Quote $11.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “southwest Madison 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 southwest Madison address, or a committee that files 53711, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Dane County street and a committee that files 53711 both increment the same roll-up.
Opening the 53711 table
The ZIP 53711 FEC page is the itemized table behind $11,942,007 and 66,803 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 53703, 53705, and 53704 are separate keys; do not merge them into 53711. 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.
What 53711 does not show
No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Madison-filed state reports are out. Madison and Fitchburg municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Wisconsin Ethics Commission filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,942,007 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 53711.
