- ZIP 98040 FEC itemizations total $37,747,848 across 80,319 contributions.

An island ZIP with 80,319 federal lines
Eighty thousand three hundred nineteen itemized receipts add to $37,747,848. The mean is about $470 per line ($37,747,848 / 80,319). That pairing is a high-volume Eastside pattern: many receipts, a mid-hundreds mean, eight-figure dollars. A mean in that band usually means many modest itemizations with a thinner tail of larger checks.
Sort the ZIP 98040 FEC page by amount to inspect the tail. The mean can look stable even if a few transfers are large, because 80,319 lines dilute them. Receipt count is not unique people. This packet has no donor-distinct figure. Treat 80,319 as lines on committee reports, not as a census of Mercer Island.
King County is not a single ZIP. 98040 is one island code. Seattle and Bellevue codes have their own hubs. Rank them on the all-ZIP index. Adding 98040 to those codes is a recode FEC.gov did not publish on this table.
What $37,747,848 leaves out
The aggregate is not a Washington Public Disclosure Commission total and not a city of Mercer Island campaign report. It is federal itemizations from FEC.gov. It is also not a party index. FEC schedules do not score ZIP codes by ideology, and this packet does not invent one.
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $37,747,848. Independent expenditures paid from another ZIP are omitted even if they mention a Washington race. Occupation and employer strings live on individual receipts. This ZIP rollup does not tally them. Do not build a tech-employer story from a ZIP total that has no employer aggregate.

Questions
- How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 98040?
- FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 98040 total $37,747,848 across 80,319 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 Mercer Island. Unitemized gifts sit outside it.
- How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 98040?
- LobbyVault counts 80,319 itemized contributions for ZIP 98040. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $37,747,848.
- Does 98040 cover Seattle and Bellevue?
- No. 98040 is one five-digit code used on Mercer Island. Seattle and Bellevue ZIPs have separate FEC hubs with their own dollar totals. Compare them on the all-ZIP index. The $37,747,848 figure is only the itemizations labeled 98040.
- Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 98040 totals?
- The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $37,747,848 and 80,319 lines for ZIP 98040. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls. The mean of about $470 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
