How much did ZIP 28226 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 28226 total $12,787,127 across 35,562 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of south Charlotte and not North Carolina State Board of Elections campaign totals. The packet facts stop at $12,787,127 and 35,562 contributions; named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 28226 FEC page.

Does 35,562 contributions mean 35,562 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 28226 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people. Open the ZIP 28226 FEC page for names behind the 35,562 lines.

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings sit outside $12,787,127. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 28226 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $12,787,127 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 28226 FEC page, not in this summary.

South Charlotte’s $12,787,127

$12,787,127 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 28226 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. North Carolina State Board of Elections filings and Charlotte municipal races sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.8M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in south Charlotte spent.

Thirty-five thousand five hundred sixty-two rows is a long file among ZIPs near $13 million. A long list can still hide large committee transfers. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 28226. Mecklenburg County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,787,127. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Charlotte political score. Readers who want named payees, dates, or employer strings should open the live hub. The supported facts are the dollar total, the contribution count, FEC as source, and the five-digit ZIP definition.

35,562 lines behind 28226

The extract lists 35,562 contributions for 28226. 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 south Charlotte filings. A long file at $12.8M is still a ZIP roll-up: many itemized rows, not a unique-person roster. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

Scanning 35,562 rows by eye is slow. Sort the ZIP 28226 FEC page by amount to see whether $12,787,127 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 28226 as a geographic key on the contributor record.
