Federal contributions from ZIP 98052

Dollar volume disclosed under 98052

The $16,980,876 figure is the sum of itemized federal contributions that carried 98052. Federal candidates and committees nationwide can appear as recipients. Washington state and city races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total.

Seventy-five thousand rows under that dollar figure is a dense receipt file. Dense files often mix payroll-style repeat itemizations with larger one-time gifts. This page will not publish an average or an employer ranking, because those statistics are not in the packet. The 98052 hub is where mix becomes visible.

Redmond’s $16,980,876 and 75,416 contributions will be quoted next to campus employment numbers that are not in this packet. Resist that join. The FEC ZIP field is not an HR file. People who work in 98052 and live elsewhere may itemize a home ZIP instead. People who live in 98052 and work elsewhere still count here if the receipt says 98052.

75,416 contributions without a headcount

The extract counts 75,416 contributions for 98052. That is how many disclosed rows share the ZIP. It is not how many unique people live or work in Redmond, and this packet does not include a distinct-donor total. One employee who gives each pay period can occupy many lines across a cycle.

High row volume is a reason not to treat the ZIP as a handful of marquee checks. It is also a reason not to treat 75,416 as a crowd size. Both mistakes skip the table. Names and committees on the 98052 page are the evidence.

Dense payroll-style files need a repeat-name check. Opening ten random 98052 rows is more informative than dividing dollars by rows. This packet still will not yield a unique-donor total from that exercise; it will only show whether repeats are common. That is the honest limit.

Campus ZIP versus household ZIP

Committees report a five-digit contributor ZIP. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents. In a code that also hosts large employers, a committee or a workplace address can share 98052 with residential streets.

Keep the $16,980,876 total labeled as ZIP-tagged FEC disclosure. If the largest lines are PACs, the committee names will say so. If they are individuals, the name fields on those receipts are the next public facts—still not a statement about company policy.

Washington state PDC data is not this extract. Adding it to $16,980,876 would mix regimes. Stay on the ZIP 98052 FEC page for federal itemizations. Use the donor directory only for name lookup across the FEC file, not as a substitute for the ZIP filter.

Using the 98052 LobbyVault pages

The ZIP 98052 FEC page lists the itemizations behind $16,980,876 and 75,416 contributions. The all-ZIP index places this code among other five-digit totals. The donor directory is the name search across the FEC file.

FEC.gov remains the source. LobbyVault groups the ZIP field so the packet facts can be quoted without assembling every committee report that listed 98052.

Out of scope for this 98052 write-up

No unique-donor count, party split, cycle series, or per-resident ratio is in the packet. No employer table is in the packet. This guide’s claim set is dollars, row count, FEC source, and the five-digit ZIP definition including PAC and joint-fundraising addresses.

Redmond itemizations versus an employer story

ZIP 98052’s $16,980,876 total and 75,416 contributions will tempt an employer story because the code hosts large campuses. The packet does not include an employer table. FEC receipts may show employer text on individual lines; that text is what the committee filed, not a LobbyVault classification. Unitemized gifts are missing. PAC mail that used 98052 is included.

Seventy-five thousand rows is a dense file. Expect repeat payroll-style itemizations. Those repeats are why 75,416 is not a unique-donor census. This packet does not include a distinct-person total. Sort the 98052 hub by amount to see committee-side lines, then sample the long middle of the file before writing a campus-giving narrative.

Washington state and Redmond municipal races sit outside this extract. Use the ZIP 98052 FEC page, the all-ZIP index, and the donor directory. Cite FEC.gov. Do not convert $16,980,876 into a per-employee figure. Do not assign a party split. Those facts are not in the packet.

Questions

What is the FEC total for ZIP 98052?

Itemizations listing 98052 total $16,980,876 across 75,416 contributions. Both figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Redmond and not a Washington state campaign-finance file. LobbyVault indexes those FEC.gov itemizations so $16,980,876 and 75,416 contributions can be checked on the ZIP 98052 hub without assembling committee reports by hand.

Does 75,416 contributions equal 75,416 donors?

No. The number counts itemized receipts. Repeat payroll-style gifts and earmarks add rows. This packet does not include a distinct-donor total, so this page does not invent one. See names on the ZIP 98052 FEC page. This packet still does not include a distinct-donor total, so 75,416 remains a receipt count for ZIP 98052 even after the hub is open.

Can PAC money appear in the 98052 total?

Yes. FEC stores the five-digit ZIP on the contribution. Joint-fundraising committees and PAC addresses using 98052 can sit inside the $16,980,876 sum with residential receipts. Committee names on the hub identify those lines. Read committee names on the largest ZIP 98052 lines before treating $16,980,876 as household-only money; the five-digit field does not make that distinction by itself.

Where are 98052 itemizations published?

On the ZIP 98052 FEC page. Other codes are on the all-ZIP index, and names can be searched in the donor directory. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Those three LobbyVault paths plus FEC.gov are the full working set for verifying $16,980,876 and 75,416 contributions tagged to ZIP 98052.
