Key figures

  • ZIP 55401 FEC itemizations total $14,326,947 ($14.3M) across 32,091 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $446; downtown Minneapolis, not the city.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Downtown Minneapolis is not 55402 and not the city

$14,326,947 divided by 32,091 is about $446 per itemized line. 55402, 55403, and 55415 are different roll-ups. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a Hennepin County sum.

Thirty-two thousand ninety-one contributions is a working list. Office towers, North Loop lofts, and any committee that prints 55401 add rows. Do not treat 32,091 as a census of downtown. LobbyVault does not treat $14,326,947 as a ranking of Twin Cities civic mood.

Riverfront mail on a federal form

A North Loop residence and a downtown suite can share 55401. $14,326,947 follows the form. Open the ZIP 55401 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not split the 32,091 rows into household and office piles. Minnesota state-office filings are a different dataset.

Adding 55401 to other Minneapolis ZIPs and calling the sum a city FEC total is a recode you must document. This page reports $14,326,947 for 55401 only.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 55401?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 55401 total $14,326,947 across 32,091 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 downtown Minneapolis. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 55401?
LobbyVault counts 32,091 itemized contributions for ZIP 55401. 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 $14,326,947. The mean of about $446 is dollars divided by lines.
Does ZIP 55401 cover all of Minneapolis?
No. 55401 is a downtown/North Loop mail key. Other Minneapolis ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees that file 55401 can be part of $14,326,947. 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 55401 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $14,326,947 and 32,091 lines for ZIP 55401. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Minnesota 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.
