How much did ZIP 07043 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 07043 total $12,043,505 across 35,459 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Upper Montclair and not the New Jersey ELEC campaign totals.

Does 35,459 contributions mean 35,459 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 07043 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 07043 include New Jersey state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. New Jersey ELEC filings sit outside $12,043,505. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 07043 FEC page for the federal table. Keep the five-digit leading zero when joining files.

Where can I see 07043 itemizations?

On the ZIP 07043 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: $12,043,505, 35,459 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Key figures

This packet has no unique-donor count.

Upper Montclair’s $12,043,505 tagged sum

$12,043,505 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 07043 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the New Jersey ELEC filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.0M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Upper Montclair spent.

Thirty-five thousand four hundred fifty-nine rows sits in the middle of $12 million ZIP files. Keep the leading zero on 07043 when joining files; truncated 7043 will fail to match. 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 07043. Essex geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,043,505. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Essex 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 $12.0M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

35,459 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 35,459 contributions for 07043. 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 Upper Montclair filings. A mid-length file at $12.0M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 35,459 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $12,043,505, 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 07043 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Upper Montclair political score.
