How much did ZIP 28202 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 28202 total $11,370,157 across 23,352 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Uptown Charlotte and not the North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals.

Does 23,352 contributions mean 23,352 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 28202 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 28202 include North Carolina state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $11,370,157. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 28202 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees live on that hub.

Where can I see 28202 itemizations?

On the ZIP 28202 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: $11,370,157, 23,352 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal receipts tagged 28202 add up to $11.4M across 23,352 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts for Uptown Charlotte mail, not a North Carolina State Board of Elections local file. Twenty-three thousand lines at this dollar scale is a mid-length receipt file, thinner than many $11 million ZIPs with longer lists. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

ZIP 28202 FEC itemizations total $11,370,157 ($11.4M).
23,352 contributions list 28202 as the contributor ZIP.
Uptown Charlotte’s 28202 tag is a filing key, not a Mecklenburg headcount.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Uptown Charlotte’s $11,370,157 tagged sum

$11.4M is the rounded headline for $11,370,157 tagged to 28202. Rounding does not create a second dataset. Money in this bucket can land at federal committees nationwide. The North Carolina State Board of Elections activity stays out. Unitemized gifts stay out. Do not caption $11,370,157 as “Uptown Charlotte residents wrote checks for $11.4M” unless the hub rows actually show that.

Twenty-three thousand three hundred fifty-two rows sits on the mid side of $11 million ZIP files. Tryon Street offices and Uptown residences can share 28202 with committee mail. 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 28202. Mecklenburg geography on the form is not a party split.

Treat $11,370,157 as an itemized-dollar bucket for 28202, not as a verdict on Uptown Charlotte. The packet does not attach a party share, an election-cycle series, or a unique-person census. Hub rows carry the names this summary omits. If a later LobbyVault extract disagrees with $11.4M or 23,352, FEC.gov controls. Do not fill the missing donor headcount with arithmetic.

23,352 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 23,352 contributions for 28202. 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 Uptown Charlotte filings. A mid-length file at $11.4M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 23,352 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,370,157, 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 28202 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Uptown Charlotte political score.
