Federal contributions from ZIP 77251: $13.3M

Houston 77251’s short $13,268,170 file

$13,268,170 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 77251 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Texas Ethics Commission filings and local municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $13.3M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Houston 77251 mail spent.

Two thousand four hundred ninety-eight rows is a thin file among ZIPs near $13.3 million. Thinner files often make large committee lines easier to spot when sorted by amount. This page will not treat a short list as proof that one payer dominates. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 77251. Harris County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,268,170. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Harris County mail drops 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 $13.3M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

2,498 rows on a short 77251 file

The extract lists 2,498 contributions for 77251. 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 Houston 77251 mail filings. A file this short at $13.3M usually makes large committee lines easier to spot when the hub is sorted by amount. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows, even when the list is thin. Dollars divided by lines is about $5,312; that ratio is a shape statistic, not a typical gift and not a median.

Do not treat 2,498 as a headcount of Harris County mail drops residents. One filer can appear many times. Mail-oriented Houston keys often show fewer rows per dollar than neighborhood ZIPs; sort the hub by amount before quoting a story. If a handful of committee lines account for a visible share of $13,268,170, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too. Keep 77251 as five digits when joining files so truncated keys do not drop out of the match.

77251 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. PO-box and committee mail using 77251 can share the code with any other filer who typed those five digits. Quote $13.3M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “Houston 77251 mail residents spent” only if the hub rows actually support it. This page will not invent a residential-versus-office split that the packet omitted.

The packet has no residency filter beyond the ZIP box. A contributor who lists a Houston 77251 mail address, or a committee that files 77251, adds to the same roll-up when that ZIP is on the itemization. A Harris County mail key and a committee that files 77251 both increment the same dollar total. Keep the five digits intact in spreadsheets. Dropped leading zeros and truncated codes fail to match 77251.

Opening the 77251 table

The ZIP 77251 FEC page is the itemized table behind $13,268,170 and 2,498 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 77002, 77010, and residential Houston codes are separate keys; do not fold them into 77251. 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. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing on FEC.gov controls.

What 77251 leaves out

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Texas Ethics Commission state reports are out. Houston municipal races are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. the Texas Ethics Commission filings never enter the federal ZIP total. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out, even when an advertisement mentions Houston 77251 mail. Cite $13,268,170 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 77251.

A usable citation names ZIP 77251, $13,268,170, 2,498 itemized contributions, and FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. Add that the mean is about $5,312 only if you also say it is dollars divided by lines. Quote 77251 as a five-digit contributor ZIP with a short line count, not as a Houston resident census. Amendments can restate large transfers without rewriting most small lines, so recheck the live page after quarterly filings.

Questions

How much did ZIP 77251 show in FEC itemized totals?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 77251 total $13,268,170 across 2,498 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. The compact headline is $13.3M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Houston 77251 mail residents. Unitemized gifts and the Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside it.

Does 2,498 contributions mean 2,498 unique Houston donors?

No. LobbyVault counts 2,498 itemized contributions for ZIP 77251. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and memo entries can add rows without adding new people. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so this page does not invent one. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $13,268,170.

Does ZIP 77251 include Texas state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $13,268,170. Houston municipal races are also out. Unitemized federal gifts never enter. Use the ZIP 77251 FEC page for the federal table, and sort it by amount.

Where can I see 77251 itemizations?

On the ZIP 77251 FEC page, which holds $13,268,170 and 2,498 contributions as currently indexed. Compare codes on the all-ZIP directory and search names in the donor directory. Original filings remain on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: the five-digit contributor ZIP, the dollar total, and the line count. If those tools and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.
