PASADENA, CA

Pasadena’s volume on $69,184,320

Two hundred nineteen thousand sixty-nine lines produce $69,184,320. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $316. That mean is arithmetic. This packet has no median.

Los Angeles, San Marino, Altadena, and South Pasadena are other city strings. They are not inside $69,184,320 unless the filer typed PASADENA. Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC dimension.

Office addresses can share the Pasadena city field with household streets. Totals can include a PAC or joint-fundraising address when that is what filers typed. The 219,069 lines are receipts, not unique persons.

Pasadena, California is not Pasadena, Texas

State CA on the city key is required in the citation. Other states have places named Pasadena. This book is PASADENA, CA only: $69,184,320 and 219,069 lines.

Do not add Pasadena to Los Angeles and call the sum “L.A. County.” FEC.gov stored city. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

Questions

What is Pasadena’s federal contribution total on LobbyVault?

Itemized FEC.gov receipts listing contributor city PASADENA, CA total $69,184,320 across 219,069 contributions. That pair is a city-string roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Pasadena residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside both figures.

How should I read Pasadena’s 219,069 contributions?

LobbyVault counts 219,069 itemized lines for PASADENA, CA. That is a line count, not a headcount. Repeat gifts and memo entries can add rows without adding donors. This packet publishes no unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total is $69,184,320. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure, so 219,069 should not be quoted as a Pasadena population of donors.

Does Pasadena’s total include Los Angeles or South Pasadena?

Only if the filer typed PASADENA. Los Angeles and South Pasadena are separate city strings. $69,184,320 is the PASADENA, CA match. The 219,069 lines follow the same rule. County labels are not an FEC dimension on this hub. Los Angeles County is orientation, not an FEC roll-up on this Pasadena hub.

Where do the Pasadena facts come from?

Both facts come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $69,184,320 and 219,069 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 $316 is arithmetic from those two packet numbers.
