Federal contributions from ZIP 78205

Alamo-area mail and $11,756,516

$11,756,516 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 78205 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. Texas Ethics Commission filings and San Antonio municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.8M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every downtown household spent.

A downtown ZIP often mixes hotel, office, and committee addresses with residences. That mix is why $11,756,516 should not be captioned as “San Antonio residents wrote checks for $11.8M.” The packet does not split the total by filer type. Named payees live on the hub.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,756,516. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Bexar County political score. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.8M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

11,645 downtown rows, no donor roster

The extract lists 11,645 contributions for 78205. 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 downtown San Antonio filings. A mid-length file at $11.8M can still mix large committee transfers with smaller itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving.

A list of 11,645 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,756,516, 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 78205 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a downtown political score.

78205 as a contributor ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. River Walk offices, hotel suites, and downtown residences can share the code. Quote $11.8M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure. Swap that phrase for “downtown San Antonio 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 downtown San Antonio address, or a committee that files 78205, adds to the same roll-up. Other 782xx codes are separate keys.

Pulling 78205 itemizations

The ZIP 78205 FEC page is the itemized table behind $11,756,516 and 11,645 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.

Other San Antonio ZIPs are separate keys; do not add them to 78205 without a new extract. Open the hub for committee names, amounts, and dates. 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.

78205 beside other 782xx codes

Southtown, King William, and near-west San Antonio mail use different five-digit keys. Compare 11,645 against those peers on the all-ZIP index rather than against an Alamo Heights or Stone Oak code with a different filing shape. This page reports $11,756,516 for 78205 only. Adding neighboring ZIPs and calling the sum a city FEC total is a recode you must document.

Edges of the 78205 total

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle trend, or per-resident ratio appears here. Those facts are not in the packet. Texas state-office campaigns are out. San Antonio municipal filings are out. So is any unitemized federal gift. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are also out. Cite $11,756,516 only as itemized federal receipts tagged 78205.

Questions

How much did ZIP 78205 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 78205 total $11,756,516 across 11,645 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of downtown San Antonio and not Texas Ethics Commission campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.

Does 11,645 contributions mean 11,645 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 78205 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 78205 include Texas state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Texas Ethics Commission filings sit outside $11,756,516. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 78205 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the hub, not in this summary.

Where can I see 78205 itemizations?

On the ZIP 78205 FEC page. Compare codes on the all-ZIP index and search names in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. This guide quotes only the harvested packet facts: $11,756,516, 11,645 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.
