How much did ZIP 08701 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 08701 total $13,972,787 across 11,394 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Lakewood and not the New Jersey ELEC campaign totals.

Does 11,394 contributions mean 11,394 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 08701 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 08701 include New Jersey state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. New Jersey ELEC filings sit outside $13,972,787. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 08701 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $13,972,787 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 08701 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 08701 itemizations?

On the ZIP 08701 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: $13,972,787, 11,394 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 08701 add up to $14.0M across 11,394 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a New Jersey ELEC local file. Eleven thousand lines at this dollar scale is a short receipt file: large lines on the hub deserve an early look. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Lakewood’s $13,972,787 tagged file

$13,972,787 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 08701 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 $14.0M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Lakewood spent.

Eleven thousand three hundred ninety-four rows is a thin file among ZIPs near $14 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 08701.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,972,787. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Ocean 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.

11,394 rows on a short 08701 file

The extract lists 11,394 contributions for 08701. 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 Lakewood filings. A file this short at $14.0M 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.

Do not treat 11,394 as a headcount of Ocean County residents. One filer can appear many times. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. If a handful of committee lines account for a visible share of $13,972,787, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.
