How much did ZIP 45840 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 45840 total $11,660,512 across 168,415 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Findlay and not the Ohio Secretary of State campaign totals. The packet facts stop at those two totals and the ZIP definition.

Does 168,415 contributions mean 168,415 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 45840 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 45840 include Ohio state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Ohio Secretary of State filings sit outside $11,660,512. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 45840 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees live on the hub, not in this summary.

Where can I see 45840 itemizations?

On the ZIP 45840 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: $11,660,512, 168,415 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Findlay’s $11,660,512 against 168,415 rows

$11,660,512 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 45840 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 $11.7M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Findlay spent.

One hundred sixty-eight thousand four hundred fifteen rows is an outlier among ZIPs near $11.7 million. A list this long can still hide a few large committee transfers, but the shape is a high-volume file rather than a thin stack. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 45840. Hancock County geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,660,512. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Hancock County 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. Dividing the two packet facts is arithmetic only; this page will not treat that quotient as a median or as a typical Findlay gift.

168,415 lines behind Findlay's $11.7M

The extract lists 168,415 contributions for 45840. 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 Findlay filings. A file this long at $11.7M is an unusually high-volume ZIP: many itemized rows sharing one five-digit code. Volume does not prove small-dollar giving. Large committee lines can still sit inside a long list.

Scanning 168,415 rows by eye is impractical. Sort the ZIP 45840 FEC page by amount to see whether $11,660,512 is spread across many names or concentrated in a few payees. Repeat gifts, memo entries, and split receipts all add rows. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. The packet facts stop at the dollar total and the line count. A file this long is not a unique-person census.
