Key figures
- ZIP 53703 FEC itemizations total $14,696,205 ($14.7M) across 44,097 contributions.
- The mean line is about $333; downtown Madison, not Dane County.
- This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
- Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Capitol-square ZIP, not all of Dane County
$14,696,205 divided by 44,097 is about $333 per itemized line. Madison is a state capital; federal itemizations still store a ZIP, not a building type. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a Dane County sum.
Forty-four thousand ninety-seven contributions is a long list for one isthmus code. Workplace addresses near the square and household streets both add rows. Do not treat 44,097 as a census of Madison. LobbyVault does not assign motive to $14,696,205.
Isthmus mail versus west-side codes
53705, 53711, and 53704 are different roll-ups. A State Street suite and a downtown apartment can share 53703. $14,696,205 follows the form. Open the ZIP 53703 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not split the 44,097 rows into household and office piles.
Wisconsin state-office filings are a different dataset even when the street is the same. Keep 53703 isolated unless you document a cluster of other Madison codes.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 53703?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 53703 total $14,696,205 across 44,097 contributions. The compact headline is $14.7M. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of downtown Madison. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 53703?
- LobbyVault counts 44,097 itemized contributions for ZIP 53703. 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 $14,696,205. The mean of about $333 is dollars divided by lines.
- Does ZIP 53703 cover all of Madison?
- No. 53703 is the downtown isthmus mail key. Other Madison ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees and office addresses that file 53703 can be part of $14,696,205. 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 53703 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,696,205 and 44,097 lines for ZIP 53703. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Wisconsin 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.
