HILLSBOROUGH, CA

FEC.gov itemizations listing contributor city HILLSBOROUGH, CA sum to $38,546,671 across 58,335 contributions. Hillsborough’s pair is a mid-Peninsula city string with a mean near six hundred sixty on a mid-volume line count. The table is a contributor-city aggregate, not a unique-donor census. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Key figures

  • Hillsborough’s federal itemized city book is $38,546,671 across 58,335 contributions.
  • The mean near $661 follows from dividing those two packet facts.
  • Cite contributor city with CA, dollars, and line count together.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Hillsborough’s Peninsula pair

Fifty-eight thousand three hundred thirty-five lines produce $38,546,671. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $661. Burlingame, San Mateo, and Millbrae are other Peninsula city strings. They are not inside $38,546,671 unless the filer typed HILLSBOROUGH.

San Mateo County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up. $38,546,671 is the HILLSBOROUGH match only. The 58,335 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Not San Francisco and not a Hillsborough, other-state recode

San Francisco keeps a separate California hub. Other states have towns named Hillsborough. This packet’s key is HILLSBOROUGH plus CA: $38,546,671 and 58,335 lines. State CA is required in the citation.

A committee street can share the city field. A PAC or joint-fundraising row counts if the filer typed HILLSBOROUGH. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Hillsborough’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?
Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city HILLSBOROUGH, CA total $38,546,671 across 58,335 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Hillsborough residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.
How should I read Hillsborough’s 58,335 contributions?
LobbyVault counts 58,335 itemized lines for HILLSBOROUGH, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $38,546,671.
Does Hillsborough’s total include Burlingame or San Mateo?
Only if the filer typed HILLSBOROUGH. Burlingame, San Mateo, and San Francisco are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $38,546,671 is the HILLSBOROUGH, CA match. The 58,335 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.
Where do the Hillsborough facts come from?
Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $38,546,671 and 58,335 lines. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. California non-federal filings are outside the pair. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission’s filing controls.

City is the contributor city on FEC itemizations. Totals can include PAC and joint-fundraising addresses, not only residents.
