How much did ZIP 70809 show in FEC itemized totals?

Receipts listing 70809 total $11,877,200 across 20,594 contributions. Those figures are FEC disclosure aggregates for the five-digit contributor ZIP. They are not a unique-donor census of southeast Baton Rouge and not the Louisiana Ethics Administration campaign totals.

Does 20,594 contributions mean 20,594 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 70809 FEC page. Repeat gifts and memo entries add rows without adding new people.

Does ZIP 70809 include Louisiana state races?

No. This extract is federal FEC itemizations. Louisiana Ethics Administration filings sit outside $11,877,200. Unitemized federal gifts are also out. Use the ZIP 70809 FEC page for the federal table. Do not add 70810 into this total. The packet facts stop at $11,877,200 and 20,594 contributions. Named payees, dates, and employer strings live on the ZIP 70809 FEC page, not in this summary.

Where can I see 70809 itemizations?

On the ZIP 70809 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: $11,877,200, 20,594 contributions, and the five-digit contributor ZIP.

Siegen-side $11,877,200 on 70809

$11,877,200 is a sum of disclosed federal contribution lines that carried 70809 in the ZIP field. Federal committees anywhere in the country can receive that money. the Louisiana Ethics Administration filings and local municipal races generally sit outside this extract. Unitemized gifts never enter the total. Quote $11.9M as ZIP-tagged federal disclosure, not as a census of what every household in southeast Baton Rouge spent.

Twenty thousand five hundred ninety-four rows sits on the thinner-mid side of $12 million ZIP files. Siegen Lane and southeast Baton Rouge commercial mail can share 70809 with committee addresses. 70809 is a different parish key from 70810. 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 70809.

No party share, cycle series, or unique-person census is attached to $11,877,200. LobbyVault does not recode the ZIP field into a East Baton Rouge Parish 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 $11.9M to a party, a cycle, or a unique-person roster.

20,594 contributions without a donor roster

The extract lists 20,594 contributions for 70809. 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 southeast Baton Rouge filings. A mid-length file at $11.9M can still mix large committee transfers with small itemized gifts. Repeat gifts and memo entries still add rows.

A list of 20,594 rows is practical to scan by amount. If a few committee lines account for a visible share of $11,877,200, 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 70809 as a geographic key on the contributor record, not as a southeast Baton Rouge political score.
