How much did ZIP 28204 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 28204 total $14,061,295 across 7,754 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Elizabeth and not the North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals.

Does 7,754 contributions mean 7,754 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 28204 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 28204 include North Carolina state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $14,061,295. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 28204 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $14,061,295 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 28204 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 28204 itemizations?

On the ZIP 28204 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: $14,061,295, 7,754 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 28204 add up to $14.1M across 7,754 contributions.

Fewer than eight 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.

Charlotte 28204’s $14,061,295 file

$14,061,295 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 28204 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The North Carolina State Board of Elections filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $14.1M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Elizabeth spent.

Seven thousand seven hundred fifty-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 28204.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $14,061,295. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a central Charlotte 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.

7,754 rows on a short 28204 file

The extract lists 7,754 contributions for 28204. 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 Elizabeth filings. A file this short at $14.1M 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 7,754 as a headcount of central Charlotte 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 $14,061,295, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.
