Key figures
- ZIP 50312 FEC itemizations total $14,261,521 ($14.3M) across 36,907 contributions.
- The mean line is about $386; one Des Moines ZIP, not the city.
- This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
West-central Des Moines, not the whole capital
$14,261,521 divided by 36,907 is about $386 per itemized line. Des Moines is a state capital; 50309, 50310, and 50311 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a Polk County sum.
Thirty-six thousand nine hundred seven contributions is a working list. Repeat gifts and any committee that prints 50312 add rows. Do not treat 36,907 as a census of Des Moines. LobbyVault does not assign motive to $14,261,521.
Capital-city ZIP versus state filings
A west-side household and a committee suite can share 50312. $14,261,521 follows the form. Open the ZIP 50312 FEC page for named receipts. Iowa state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same. Keep 50312 isolated unless you document a cluster of other Des Moines codes.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 50312?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 50312 total $14,261,521 across 36,907 contributions. The compact headline is $14.3M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Des Moines. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 50312?
- LobbyVault counts 36,907 itemized contributions for ZIP 50312. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts can add rows. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $14,261,521. The mean of about $386 is dollars divided by lines.
- Does ZIP 50312 cover all of Des Moines?
- No. 50312 is one west-central mail key. Other Des Moines ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees that file 50312 can be part of $14,261,521. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear. This packet still does not publish a unique-donor count.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 50312 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,261,521 and 36,907 lines for ZIP 50312. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Iowa state 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.
