Federal contributions from ZIP 55118

West St. Paul $11,093,568 on 55118

$11.1M is the rounded headline for $11,093,568 tagged to 55118. Rounding does not create a second dataset. Money in this bucket can land at federal committees nationwide. The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board activity stays out. Unitemized gifts stay out. Do not caption $11,093,568 as “West St. Paul residents wrote checks for $11.1M” unless the hub rows actually show that.

Twenty-seven thousand eight hundred eighteen rows is a mid-length file among ZIPs near $11 million. West St. Paul and adjoining Mendota Heights–side mail can share 55118 with committee addresses. 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 55118. Dakota County geography on the form is not a party split.

Treat $11,093,568 as an itemized-dollar bucket for 55118, not as a verdict on West St. Paul. The packet does not attach a party share, an election-cycle series, or a unique-person census. Hub rows carry the names this summary omits. If a later LobbyVault extract disagrees with $11.1M or 27,818, FEC.gov controls. Do not fill the missing donor headcount with arithmetic.

27,818 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 27,818 contributions for 55118. 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 West St. Paul filings. A mid-length file at $11.1M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 27,818 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,093,568, 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 55118 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a West St. Paul political score.

55118 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. Robert Street offices, household rows, and committee mail in West St. Paul can share the code. Quote $11.1M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “West St. Paul 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 West St. Paul address, or a committee that files 55118, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Dakota County street and a committee that files 55118 both increment the same roll-up. St. Paul 55101 is a different key.

Opening the 55118 table

Named receipts for 55118 live on the hub, not in this prose. The all-ZIP catalog is for rank and peer comparison. The donor directory is for name search. LobbyVault indexes FEC.gov bulk data so $11,093,568 and 27,818 can be cited without rebuilding Schedule A. If hub and snapshot disagree, the Commission filing controls.

55116, 55150, and 55101 are separate keys; do not add them to 55118. 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 55118 total

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. St. Paul–filed state reports are out. West St. Paul municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,093,568 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 55118.

Questions

How much did ZIP 55118 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 55118 total $11,093,568 across 27,818 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of West St. Paul and not the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board campaign totals.

Does 27,818 contributions mean 27,818 people donated?

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 55118 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 55118 include Minnesota state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings sit outside $11,093,568. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 55118 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees live on that hub. The packet facts stop at $11,093,568 and 27,818 contributions. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 55118 FEC page, not in this summary.
