MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA

What $41,983,744 on the Mountain View city field covers

$41,983,744 divided by 103,343 is about $406 per itemized line. That mean is arithmetic from the two packet facts. FEC.gov does not publish a median, a unique-donor count, or a party split on this city aggregate. LobbyVault reports $41,983,744 and 103,343.

Santa Clara County’s Mountain View sits on this string as a mid-Peninsula filing city, not as a score of campus or campus-adjacent races. The city total can include a PAC or joint-fundraising committee address when that is the city filers typed. LobbyVault does not recode those rows out of the city string.

A Mountain View total of $41,983,744 does not absorb Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, or Los Altos. Those names are other city strings when filers typed them. State CA stays on the citation so MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA is not merged with Mountain View, Hawaii or Mountain View, Arkansas. The 103,343 lines and the mean near $406 describe this key only.

Mountain View is a contributor city, not a Valley recode

The city is the contributor-city value on FEC itemizations. Filers type it. LobbyVault does not geocode Mountain View against a municipal boundary file. A work address, a mail drop, or a household in a neighboring place that still typed MOUNTAIN VIEW can sit inside $41,983,744.

Amended reports can raise or lower both $41,983,744 and 103,343. If the live Mountain View hub reprints different figures, the newer FEC extract wins.

Questions

What is Mountain View’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA total $41,983,744 across 103,343 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Mountain View residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Mountain View’s 103,343 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 103,343 itemized lines for MOUNTAIN VIEW, 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 $41,983,744.

Does Mountain View’s total include Palo Alto or Sunnyvale?

Only if the filer typed MOUNTAIN VIEW. Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Los Altos are separate city strings when they appear that way on the receipt. $41,983,744 is the MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA match. The 103,343 lines follow the same rule. Metro labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub.

Where do the Mountain View facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $41,983,744 and 103,343 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. The mean of about $406 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
