ZIP Code 20186

A small-count ZIP with a large dollar total

$240,249,339 on 11,572 lines is a concentration pattern. Rural and small-city ZIPs can still host joint fundraising committees, PACs, and a small number of high-dollar itemizations that dominate the mean. FEC.gov does not label which of those produced $240,249,339. LobbyVault reports the sum and the count the extract contains.

Eleven thousand five hundred seventy-two itemizations is a short list next to D.C. and Manhattan ZIPs that show 100,000-plus lines. Quote both numbers. Dropping 11,572 makes 20186 look like a mass-giving ZIP. Dropping $240,249,339 hides the scale. The table supports both facts and no motive.

This aggregate has no party split and no unique-donor count. Reading Warrenton as a partisan stronghold from a ZIP total would be a category error. The field is a five-digit code on Schedule A, sourced from FEC.gov.

Fauquier mail versus a resident census

USPS 20186 serves Warrenton. FEC contributor ZIPs are not geocoded to farms or town lots. A committee that uses a Warrenton post-office box, a PAC with a 20186 street address, or an individual who lists that ZIP will all add to $240,249,339 when that is what was filed. The total is not “what 20186 residents donated” unless you add a filter the Commission did not apply.

The 11,572-line count can include repeat itemizations. Without a donor headcount in the packet, this page does not guess how many people sit behind the list. Open the ZIP 20186 FEC page for named receipts.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 20186?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 20186 total $240,249,339 across 11,572 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of people who live in Warrenton, Virginia. Joint fundraising committees and PAC addresses can appear in $240,249,339 when that five-digit code was filed. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 20186?

LobbyVault counts 11,572 itemized contributions for ZIP 20186. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts, redesignations, and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 11,572 should not be quoted as a population. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $240,249,339.

Does ZIP 20186 include only residents of Warrenton, Virginia?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. PAC mail drops, joint fundraising committees, and office addresses in Warrenton, Virginia can be part of $240,249,339 when 20186 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 11,572-line count follows the same rule. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 20186 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $240,249,339 and 11,572 lines for ZIP 20186. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and non-federal filings from Warrenton, Virginia are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $20,760 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
