ZIP Code 55402

A downtown loop ZIP is usually an office key

$18,025,292 divided by 33,397 is about $540 per itemized line. 55402 is the Nicollet Mall–skyway grid more than a residential neighborhood. That does not make every row a PAC. It does make workplace addresses more likely than in a suburban household ZIP. The packet still has only two facts: a dollar total and a contribution count. It has no unique-donor count.

Thirty-three thousand three hundred ninety-seven contributions is a working list. Office towers, household filers who list a downtown box, and any committee that files 55402 all add rows. Do not treat 33,397 as a census of downtown residents.

LobbyVault does not attach a Twin Cities political identity to $18,025,292. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 55402.

Loop geography makes 55402 look like a PAC ZIP on a map. The packet still only has $18,025,292 and 33,397 contributions. Workplace rows are likely; they are not labeled. Keep 33,397 as a line count. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $540 mean is arithmetic. Recheck the ZIP 55402 FEC page after quarterly filings. North Loop is a different key. FEC.gov controls if a later extract disagrees.

Skyway addresses on Schedule A

55402 covers the Minneapolis central business district. A filer who lists a workplace, a filer who lists a downtown condo, and a joint fundraising committee that uses a 55402 suite all land in the same five-digit bucket. $18,025,292 is that bucket. It is not a resident-only book.

Named receipts on the ZIP 55402 FEC page are the way to see which committees appear. This guide will not invent a split inside 33,397 lines.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 55402?

FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 55402 total $18,025,292 across 33,397 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of downtown Minneapolis residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $540 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.

How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 55402?

LobbyVault counts 33,397 itemized contributions for ZIP 55402. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Workplace-address batches and repeat gifts can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $18,025,292.

Does ZIP 55402 count only people who live downtown?

No. The ZIP is the five-digit contributor code on the FEC itemization. Office towers and committees that file 55402 can be part of $18,025,292 when that is what was entered. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.

Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 55402 totals?

The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $18,025,292 and 33,397 lines for ZIP 55402. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Minnesota state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
