The $15,501,440 Sanibel roll-up
FEC.gov itemizations tagged 33957 add to $15,501,440. The matching line count is 28,877. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $537 per itemization. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. It is not a median, not a typical Sanibel household gift, and not evidence that one committee dominates the ZIP. Island ZIPs can mix seasonal household itemizations with committee mail on the same five digits.
Twenty-eight thousand eight hundred seventy-seven rows sits between thin high-mean ZIPs and high-volume small-mean files. A list of 28,877 rows can still mix large transfers with small itemized gifts. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving, and a mean near $537 does not prove a single payer. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share the same five digits.
No party share is attached to $15,501,440. Keep 33957 as a geographic key on the contributor record. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Lee County barrier islands political score. Readers who want named payees should open the live hub rather than infer a story from the mean.
Barrier-island addresses on federal receipts
33957 covers the Sanibel ZIP on the Lee County Gulf coast. A contributor who lists a Sanibel address, or a committee that files 33957, adds to $15,501,440 when that ZIP is on the itemization. The accurate description is tagged federal receipts, not “what Sanibel residents gave.”
The packet has no unique-donor count. Treat 28,877 as a line count. Repeat gifts add rows. Memo entries add rows. This guide does not convert lines into people. Florida state filings never enter the federal ZIP total.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 33957?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 33957 total $15,501,440 across 28,877 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Sanibel residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 33957?
- LobbyVault counts 28,877 itemized contributions for ZIP 33957. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $15,501,440.
- Does ZIP 33957 include only Sanibel residents?
- No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office and committee addresses in Sanibel can be part of $15,501,440 when 33957 is what was filed. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. The 28,877-line count follows the same rule.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 33957 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $15,501,440 and 28,877 lines for ZIP 33957. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Florida Division of Elections filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
