How much did ZIP 55331 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 55331 total $13,505,091 across 24,972 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of Excelsior and not the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board campaign totals.

Does 24,972 contributions mean 24,972 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 55331 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 55331 include Minnesota state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings sit outside $13,505,091. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 55331 FEC page for the federal table. The packet facts stop at $13,505,091 and the contribution count. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 55331 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 55331 itemizations?

On the ZIP 55331 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: $13,505,091, 24,972 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Unique Donors

Itemized federal contributions that list ZIP 55331 add up to $13.5M across 24,972 contributions. The five-digit code is the contributor ZIP on FEC.gov receipts, not a Minnesota Campaign Finance Board local file. Twenty-five thousand lines at this dollar scale is a mid-length receipt file rather than a thin stack of oversized transfers. Numbers come from FEC.gov records indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

ZIP 55331 FEC itemizations total $13,505,091 ($13.5M).
24,972 contributions list 55331 as the contributor ZIP.
Excelsior’s 55331 tag is a filing key, not a Hennepin headcount.
This packet has no unique-donor count.

Excelsior’s $13,505,091 tagged sum

$13,505,091 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 55331 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. The Minnesota Campaign Finance Board filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $13.5M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in Excelsior spent.

Twenty-four thousand nine hundred seventy-two rows sits in the middle of $14 million ZIP files. A list of this length can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. This aggregate does not name the mix of individuals and committee traffic that share 55331. Hennepin geography on the form is not a party split.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $13,505,091. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a western Hennepin 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 $13.5M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

24,972 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 24,972 contributions for 55331. 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 Excelsior filings. A mid-length file at $13.5M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 24,972 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $13,505,091, the committee column on the hub will show it. If the total is many individual names, that will show too. This page will not publish an average as if the FEC printed one. Keep 55331 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a Excelsior political score.
