GATES MILLS, OH

Unique Donors

0

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 44040 add up to $11.8M across 13,066 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not an Ohio Secretary of State local file. Thirteen thousand lines at this dollar scale is a thinner file: fewer rows than many $12 million ZIPs. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

  • ZIP 44040 FEC itemizations total $11,848,413 ($11.8M).
  • 13,066 contributions list 44040 — a relatively short receipt file at this dollar scale.
  • Gates Mills’ 44040 tag is a thinner filing key at this dollar scale; sort the hub by amount.
  • This packet has no unique-donor count.

Gates Mills $11,848,413 on 44040

$11,848,413 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 44040 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Ohio Secretary of State filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.8M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Gates Mills spent.

Thirteen thousand sixty-six rows is on the thin side for a $12 million ZIP. Gates Mills village streets can share 44040 with committee mail. 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 44040.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,848,413. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a eastern Cuyahoga 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. Nothing in the packet assigns $11.8M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

13,066 rows on a short 44040 file

The extract lists 13,066 contributions for 44040. 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 Gates Mills filings. A file this short at $11.8M 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 13,066 as a headcount of eastern Cuyahoga 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 $11,848,413, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.

Questions

How much did ZIP 44040 show in FEC itemized totals?
Receipts listing 44040 total $11,848,413 across 13,066 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Gates Mills and not the Ohio Secretary of State campaign totals.
Does 13,066 contributions mean 13,066 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 44040 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.
Does ZIP 44040 include Ohio state races?
No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Ohio Secretary of State filings sit outside $11,848,413. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 44040 FEC page for the federal table. This packet has no unique-donor count.
Where can I see 44040 itemizations?

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
