How much did ZIP 49007 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 49007 total $12,282,380 across 3,718 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of downtown Kalamazoo and not the Michigan Bureau of Elections campaign totals.

Does 3,718 contributions mean 3,718 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 49007 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 49007 include Michigan state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Michigan Bureau of Elections filings sit outside $12,282,380. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 49007 FEC page for the federal table. Named payees and dates live on that hub, not in this summary.

Where can I see 49007 itemizations?

On the ZIP 49007 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: $12,282,380, 3,718 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Kalamazoo 49007’s $12,282,380 tagged sum

$12,282,380 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 49007 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Michigan Bureau of Elections filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $12.3M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in downtown Kalamazoo spent.

Three thousand seven hundred eighteen rows is a thin file among ZIPs near $12 million. Downtown and near-downtown Kalamazoo mail can sit next to committee addresses on the same five digits. 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 49007.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $12,282,380. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a Kalamazoo 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. Nothing in the packet assigns $12.3M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

3,718 rows on a short 49007 file

The extract lists 3,718 contributions for 49007. 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 downtown Kalamazoo filings. A file this short at $12.3M 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 3,718 as a headcount of Kalamazoo County 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 $12,282,380, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names on a short list, that will show too.
